Article about the Youtube video - Dear Fat People

Hello - I recently read this article. Not a fan of the title or the Youtube video but I get it. In fact, a lot of her advice resonates with me. I hope you find it useful too.

Hey! I wrote that article!

I've been browsing this site on and off for a bit and just registered so I could reply. First, thanks for reading it! I'm not sure if you're referring to the title of my article but it came from a YouTube video I saw with blink-182 being silly. One of the band members is playing an acoustic guitar and sings the line: "I'm fat, so what? Don't judge. My butt." In short, I couldn't think of a good title for the post (it was also late) so I went with that.

Anyway, I'd love to know what advice of hers resonated with you?

Nice blog post, Jeff.

I haven't seen that video, though I've read about it and seen a few vlogs in response. (In particular, the one from Whitney whateverhernameis with the show on TLC - and that bothered me more than what's purportedly in the original video.)

Why I like your post is because, well, it's real. You don't shy away from the fat issue. It always bothers me how people dance around my weight - as if I don't know I'm fat and they're afraid to be the one to point it out, or something. Find me a fat person who doesn't know they're fat! Really.

I truly can't stand Nicole Arbor. I just want to find a bunch of "fat people" that "smell like sausages" and doggie pile her.

Did you see her on "The View?" Whoopie Goldberg let her have it!

I am usually a very nice person online. Truly. I hate trolls and trolling is super not my thing. But that girl has no sense of empathy and its frankly terrifying. #ByeFelicia
