I used to be obese. I'm 6'7, and weighed 295. I got down to 220, wasn't fat at that point(I am on the bigger side regardless of my weight), but I was still insecure about how I looked. going to FPH made me realize I was never as fat as the hamplanets posed there. Going to FPH gave me motivation to work out more once I put on 20 more LBS the last year. This trend fat acceptance is a load of bullshit. Obesity is almost always a choice. The only person I know who has excuse for being overweight is my mother(her mother was given DES by a military hospital to prevent miscarriage while she was pregnant with my mom. Birth defects and lots of a health problems as a result, she has had three hip replacements, her shoulders have severe osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, on top of recently having a shattered ankle in accident and not healing right.. they only way she can exercise is in a pool, and since she has a skin problem now, she can't even do that at the moment), even then she's not morbidly obese, she's just overweight, and she still sticks to a diet and compensates for the inability to exercise. Before that she always found a way to exercise and stay healthy in spite of her health problems. I have actual health problem as a result of the DES thing as well, and even then I know that I was overweight because of a shitty diet and a lack of exercise.. but my point is that FPH serves a purpose, especially with all of what is essentially propaganda pushing that obesity is OKAY. All the excuses about poor genetics, health conditions like hypothyroidism, PCOS, et cetera all excuses. I know plenty of people with the conditions these hamplanets claim are the reason they are fat, yet I know plenty of people with same conditions that aren't morbidly obese.

For all the fatties that have been offended by FPH, I know there are even more that have gotten motivation out of it. I don't like the direction reddit has gone in the last four or five years. If there were better alternatives that could handle the traffic and had the variety of forums that reddit has for such a wide array of topics, I'd go there, but there aren't.
