MP helped me be at peace with being fat. I'm now fatter than I used to be and want to find the most MP-like way to reengage with my own body.
I realize the title of this post makes this seem antithetical to the show. But I feel like their has to be a path forward for an individual like me that can hold close two things (1) how shitty and oppressive diet culture is for society and (2) my individual desire to feel comfortable in my body.
For me, I felt comfort and health at a size that doctors still considered obese. But I loved my body, worked out, and felt strong.
Then in the last year a combination of work and injuries has thrown off the balance I had and I've ended up gaining weight to the point that I'm not comfortable doing activities that I love. I have no desire to restrict myself into some thin body I'll never have. But I would like to return to the size I was at for many years. I'm back to my old habits that used to work for me, but it seems like that's just helping me stay where I am, not helping me get back to the fat body I used to love.
I have absolutely no models for how to engage with health or even weight loss in a healthy way. I only have very negative views about restrictions and dieting. MP was part of a whole journey that really freed me from engaging with these systems and the idea of going back to them feels awful. Surely there must be a better way?
Do you follow anybody or know of anybody who engages very lightly in the idea of individual health without going overbroad on on the systemic cultural issues?
Absorbing media like Maintenance Phase was really helpful for setting my world view, and I guess I'm looking for people who have a similar mindset talking about individual choices.
cope about how "rude" they are

Diets don't work for me. I get hungry before bed time. My body doesn't tolerate healthy foods. I can't lose weight because I don't have time to make it my No1 priority. Losing weight isn't as simple as “just eating less” , , ,
I love fat people excuses, just admit that you'd rather have an unhealthy body than put the effort and self control in to gaining a healthy one. I've heard literally every imaginable excuse except “I'm being force fed!”
Some overweight people pretend that they are happy at their size, but give them a magic button that will turn their body fit and healthy in an instant and see how many of them refuse to press it. They literally can't not just delay the gratification of excess food now in return for a healthy body that could months or years away.
Whilst I do have sympathy for people with severe medical or mental issues which are a primary cause for their excess weight, these causes are just not applicable for the vast majority of obese people.

It's disturbing how being fatphobic is not a red flag like any other form of bigotry in this comment section. [-18]

Fat people: I should be able to get medical care beyond being told “you should lose weight”.

"So this is basically a rant (and a cautionary tale) -
We bought two patio chairs from Wayfair because they were the only ones we could find with a weight capacity of 500lb. After we finished assembling the first one (took two people two hours of hard labor), we noticed a tag alerting us that the weight capacity is 250lb.
Wayfair, without batting an eyelash, sent us the manufacturer's reply that the 500lb capacity was meant for both chairs together - surprise (jazz hands).
Since the chair was so hard to assemble. we asked that Wayfair will arrange to pick up the chair as is, but despite talking to a supervisor, no one was able to help us. All we asked for is a bigger box, or a label to ship it via UPS rather than FedEx, because I know UPS packages everything.
As a longtime Wayfair customer, I want you all to be advised that Wayfair customer service has really gone downhill recently. Which is a shame. Also, be aware that not everything on their website is necessarily correct."
???? I guess when you're like 60 BMI or something, even standing counts as strenuous effort lol.
