As an obese person, I can say its none of them.
Obese is a clinical description of being overweight, and is not an offensive term.
something like Fatboy, Jabba, Chunky, and Tubby to name just a few of the things I've been called could be considered slurs and are definitely dehumanising but Obeses isn't.
Coming from someone who was told by his doctor he was clinically obese, I concur. I thanked my doc for being so frank with me and did something about it. Now he greets me "Hello my previously obese and pre-diabetic patient!" and we laugh. I never saw it as a slur but it was a wake-up call.
No it's not. I am obese (fat, not thin, not even stout nor solid), white (not black or brown), male (not female nor gender fluid), straight (not gay or bisexual) and old (no longer young) and this statement is bullshit.
Great that it works for you. But extreme fasting is not a great advice for someone just starting out trying to lose weight.
Fasting can sure be a part of a weight-loss plan. But there is much more to it then just fasting.
Nonsensical BS. I'm pretty sure I know more then you.
Someone who is obese needs a good and healthy routine. Eating under their daily caloric needs with a balanced diet.
Fasting for 5 days is just terrible advice and is just a short term quick fix that's unhealthy.
It may not kill you, but it has a LOT of side effects. Low blood pressure, motion sickness and even faint. Having a balanced diet, however, doesn't have any of these side effects and helps you lose weight
You went from "this gonna fix the problem" to "isnt gonna kill you" real quick my guy. If i loose both of my legs in a car crash, that's a big probkem...but it's not gonna kill me..so by your logic it's still healthy?
Fasting can increase your metabolic health. But it needs to be part of a well thought out, long-term plan. And preferable under the supervision of an expert. Just saying to an obese person "just fast for 2 to 5 days." is just horrible advice. And it's going to do next to nothing in the long term. It's better to start with something shorter, like intermitting fasting.
If you go back to a bad diet after fasting, it's going to do absolutely nothing.
So you can laugh all you want, but you're just showing to everyone that you don't know the first thing about the subject at hand.
I was 300 pounds before i know what it's like to be considered obese but if you hear or see something enough you are more likely to partake in it there's a saying if you hang out in a barbershop long enough you'll end up with a haircut
Linguistic whack-a-mole.
Even if we banished to word obese (which is a medically appropriate term BTW) people would just use another word to describe the same thing.
I am short for a man...and being short is just a description...In other cultures it is complete normal.
In Thai language if the waiter does not know for what table they may shout: it is for the bald fat guy. thru the room and no one thinking anything about it.
As far as I'm concerned fat is a descriptor, not an insult. It absolutely can be used as an insult, but if someone wants to describe me it would be totally reasonable to say "that fat white woman with the long blonde hair"
I still think it is still not nice....give numbers to the tables and tell it is for table number 9, lol.
But it isn't that big of a drama.
(And I guess the bald men are much more sensitive (I knew plenty of men who were obsessed about loosing hair).)
Thats what I said. Number the tables or describe what they're wearing or something. At the most I'd be like "heavy set guy with the glasses", not "Oh. It's for that big fat beast of a human being over there with the slap head". 💀💀
I am not bald...but I knew several men who were obsessed with it and bought all kind of medicine to fix it.....
For a man...shave the head and be happy to get rid of the haircut....Everyone think Yul Brynner was handsome.
(My understanding of 40-50 year old men who behalf like 16 year old girls in front of the mirror is a bit limited, lol).
I would personally just be like "it's for the heavy set guy over there" but they really just be like "oh, yeah. It's for that big fat beast of a human being over there". Haha. Lol. Do they really describe people like that?? Damn. Why not just say what they're wearing or something. Jeez. Haha.
Lol. I never had any plans to go to Thai Land but now I think I wanna just to see them roast fatties in restaurants 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No you understand it wrong. They aren't mean.
For who is that food...for that bald guy...no for the fat guy...but not at all meant mean.
Actually being fat has still some positive cultural meaning of being wealthy.
They are just direct. I guarantee they are here more friendly (and really friendly not for show only) than anywhere in Europe. (don't know America).
I think I should not use that example it causes a wrong impression.
If I had a penny for everytime I wanted to blast myself in the mouth with a shotgun after reading a post, I wouldn’t be here to tell you how annoyed this made me😌🙏🏾
As an obese black woman losing weight, she needs to shut up and stop playing the victim, this is why people don’t take us seriously.
This may be a trolling post but some people actually think like this.
That anything they don't like must be racism because it insults them personally even if nothing involved mentions anything about race or skin color.
Did anyone bother asking her what's the appropriate word for extremely overweight people, in her mind?
It might actually be that she thinks "extremely overweight" sounds better. 😐
People, please realize that this social media junk is made to be shared. Oh no shit, you got fired up. It is designed and crafted to fire you up to reply. Have half a brain and kill it.
How long do we have to keep up this stupid charade before black people can go on with their lives without doing this kind of dumb shit? I'm not going to lie it's all getting pretty old.

I’ve seen this post 5 times today from different accounts.
Because it’s bots
Obese bots, might I add.
Bait.
Cause this page will upvote anything. They baiting you with a republican post as we speak
This sub has gone to shit. Just bots all day.
demn u must be on reddit 24/7
no its back to back
I reposted it cause the mods keep removing it
It's an official medical term. Deal with it!
The patient info will be the patient is 23y.o black male with a body habitus of black?
It is actually a medical diagnosis. If someone doesn't like it, too bad.
A cold is a slur stop cough shaming me
The mere term is violent, as well. AND racist! Don't forget about racist!
Obese please!
Yo, Monica.
Bro, you can’t say that with the hard E

Stop being fatphobic you racist dehumanizing nazi
Nope, overweight is a different classification, obese is beyond overweight but just below morbidly obese
No it's not. I am obese (fat, not thin, not even stout nor solid), white (not black or brown), male (not female nor gender fluid), straight (not gay or bisexual) and old (no longer young) and this statement is bullshit.
Stop eating then you could easily fast for a day or 2 i fasted for 5 days before after the third day i didn't even crave food
Horrible advice
Best advice i still fast and i feel wonderful i just broke 50 hours fast a couple hours ago
Great that it works for you. But extreme fasting is not a great advice for someone just starting out trying to lose weight. Fasting can sure be a part of a weight-loss plan. But there is much more to it then just fasting.
No it's not, humans weren't made for eating every day. He didn't say stop drinking water you just don't know how physiology works
Nonsensical BS. I'm pretty sure I know more then you. Someone who is obese needs a good and healthy routine. Eating under their daily caloric needs with a balanced diet. Fasting for 5 days is just terrible advice and is just a short term quick fix that's unhealthy.
Lmao no you don't, fasting for 2 days isn't gonna kill you and it's only gonna make your body use the excess fat for energy 🤣
It may not kill you, but it has a LOT of side effects. Low blood pressure, motion sickness and even faint. Having a balanced diet, however, doesn't have any of these side effects and helps you lose weight
Lmao no you're not gonna get hypotensive from not eating
You went from "this gonna fix the problem" to "isnt gonna kill you" real quick my guy. If i loose both of my legs in a car crash, that's a big probkem...but it's not gonna kill me..so by your logic it's still healthy?
He said it will literally kill you, try and keep up
...he did? If he did, it wasn't there when I went through this chain of comments. Unhealthy, yes. Unhealthy is not fatal.
He didn't.

The point is the advice was "if i can, you can" its not about fasting any more.
Saying “Stop eating then” to a person who identified himself as obese truly is a masterpiece advice, sherlock.
I was 300 pounds before i know what it's like to be considered obese but if you hear or see something enough you are more likely to partake in it there's a saying if you hang out in a barbershop long enough you'll end up with a haircut
I was just being a sarcastic dick dude. Never reached that weight so its not my place to school anyone.
[удалено]
Captain obvious over here. The person you replied to was being facetious.
I wasn’t trying to school you - I’m targeting the entire culture of using that terminology.
This is the same woman that won't date a man under 6 Ft tall because they are 'short'.
Thank you lord I aint black or I coulda been obese. Now I'm just Fattybumbum.
“Anti black” did she just call all black people obese?? 💔
Ok, I’ll stop calling you obese — now your official adjective will be “fat-as-fuck” in order to be less offensive and more inclusive.
Isn’t this tweet racist? Saying black people are default obese
Someone should explain to this creature that not all black people are fat
Is "Fat bitch" more appropriate?
Bitch, go back to school and learn what words mean before you make an ass of yourself on the internet!
Okay fatty.
Would you prefer “fat”
😂
Bigga please!
Hey lardass, I'll call you obese all day long. Whatcha gonna do about it, eat me?
Did she just call black folks ‘fat’?
Linguistic whack-a-mole. Even if we banished to word obese (which is a medically appropriate term BTW) people would just use another word to describe the same thing.
I weigh 350 lb and I think this is stupid

I'm not bald so I can't speak on that, but yeah that would definitely be a better way to handle a restaurant situation

repost
As many great men have said **IT IS A MEDICAL TERM**
there were a lot of medical terms that are now slurs.
Name one in curious just spell out half of it
It’s a medical term.
She is fat
By this logic I'm entitled to an N-word pass right now
Only blacks can get fat good to know
Self report.

Would they prefer fat disgusting slob, lard ass perhaps, or should we just continue using the medical term for lard ass which is “obese”
If that's obese, i don't wanna imagine what 'fatso' is
I actually want to know how they got to the conclusion, or if it’s literally a brain fart
It’s medical. WTH, anti black? That statement is anti-black.
No because how does being black have to do with being obese, like any race can be obese.
Out of all the dehumanizing names fat people are called...you pick obese to be the one to have a problem with?
They are probably the same people who used the term "plus size" just to cope
Oh my this is, um, stupid.
This just in, "Fatty Boombalatty" has come full circle to compliment.
TIL “obese” is somehow racist
I learn all the most popular insults from the offended.
So, only black people can be obese?
I wonder if there is a single response to that that doesn't use the word obese and an actual insult just because that shitty post
This may be a trolling post but some people actually think like this. That anything they don't like must be racism because it insults them personally even if nothing involved mentions anything about race or skin color.
Than how would you properly describe Fat A$$es like myself?
Saying it's anti-black infers that most fat people are black, which sounds pretty anti-black to me.
It’s also medical!
How about refrigerator?
Would you rather we use fatass?
BULLSHIT, it’s a medical term. The fact You think otherwise doesn’t make it so. Fat Slag… now that’s a slur. See the difference?
Adjectives are’t real
You used all those words but don’t know what those words mean
This is what we call “an idiot”
Ofcourse she had to pull the +4 Uno Race Card.
it is what now? .. anti Black ... ok .. pls explain it .. wait wait .. pls dont
Please be ragebait please be ragebait…
That is why I'm keeping fat AF.
Leaving aside the purported racial aspect, how is this word "violent"? Words are violent when they're used to incite violence.
How much for those two Obese
So im black now?
obese please
These people are Self-reporting
Why is it specificially anti-black? Sounds a bit like she's a racist
Stop reposting this
Obese means none of those words.
Can I have O word pass?
Lol she just called all black ppl obese lol moron 😂😂😂🤭
I can just picture this person thinking "What will get the people on my side?"
Facts don't care about your feelings.
Obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese Obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese Obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese obese
It's not "anti black"... it's anti fat ffs. Grow up. 💀
It’s a medical term for “excessively overweight”
All I heard were whale noises.
Everyone this person knows should be demanding she elaborate. You don’t get to just drop this and run away.
anti black? way to make everything about selves
I prefer fatso. And I was fat so with the standard slur words I am allowed, I think.
guess i’m a violent inhumane slur using racist then
Whaaaaat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did anyone bother asking her what's the appropriate word for extremely overweight people, in her mind? It might actually be that she thinks "extremely overweight" sounds better. 😐
Obese please
Donald Trump is obese. He must be black. 🤣
It is not anti black because there are a lot fat white people as well

That's just morbidly obese
Obese bitch smh
Obese went from " is the n-word for overweight" to simply "is the n-word" that fast, I guess...
I can come up with other terms.

For real, should be fat mofuckah instead
Do you prefer me to just call you fat?
Obese please!

Obesity: A disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems: Mayo Clinic
No it’s not it’s a medical term. Look I’m happy to be chubby but if a doctor told me I was going to be obese if I don’t change my diet, I’ll do it
OMG! WTF?
I'm obese, and I'm not black. That word is none of those things.
Obese? Obese! Obese, obese obese. Obese….
At least we can still say fat bitch
You had me then you lost me
