we're talking about making poor choices and demanding that the results of such behavior be recognized as good (and normal)

that is a major problem and i completely reject such a philosophy. i don't believe in rewarding making poor decisions

Do you give 100% max effort/never post on TD at your job? When you don't, do you donate a portion of your salary back? I think you may be self-employed, but I'm guessing you've worked for someone at some point, same thing applies.

she's now the symbol of success for all those 600 lb women who believe that they are normal and their choices aren't bad

or is she the symbol for success for girls who look more like her but have always hated their body, and maybe some of them can feel a little better about themselves going forward?

So you're saying she's lying about her happiness?

i think her body fat % confirms that fact

Or that only in shape people can be happy with their lives?

they can only find the most surface level, pavlovian sensory stimulation that they believe to be happiness

i work for myself so any post i make is "on the job"

and i'm not happy (nor am i in shape)

when i was employed, i was given tasks with deadlines. how i finish those tasks was up to me, and anything else didn't matter as long as i hit my deadlines
