Just as I predicted: ‘Body positive’ ‘fat activist’ finally decides to lose weight

December 19, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

MTI2NTc4MjQyMjkwMjM5NDk4If you spend anytime on the distaff side of the web, you see these chicks all the time.

“I’m fat and I’m proud!”

Besides being fat, they also, for whatever reason, tend to dress rather eccentrically, in vintage hair and makeup.

Basically they are “Garcia” on Criminal Minds but real.

“Any day now,” I always think, “they’re gonna confess that they really hated being so fat and now they’re losing weight.”

This one chick at xoJane was THE poster girl (or should that be “billboard”?) of this.

And guess what?

IT HAPPENED TO ME: I’m a Body-Positive Feminist and I Had Weight Loss Surgery

But of course:

Ultimately, the same philosophy that allowed me to find peace with my fat body also allowed me to make the decision to have weight loss surgery.

So pathetic.

Imagine wasting your life trying to embody a theory.
