Have fun chasing the dragon.

For as much as people are giving me shit about judging someone whose situation I know nothing about (and really, don't care - people lose weight easily, and re-gain it just as easily), I sure am getting a lot of it myself. Thanks, internet commenters!

Jesus christ what a persistent troll you are. Yes, I'm fat. No, I'm not ashamed of it. Go look for another hole to shit in.

When people see photos of meth addicts, do they say the same thing? "Oh, look, you did what you wanted to do with yourself, look at those amazing changes!"

What happens to your self-esteem when you re-gain?

wtf do I care, some chick on reddit lost weight, stop the presses!

Losing weight is usually temporary and often causes more metabolic problems than it solves, but hey who cares about that, SHE LOOKS GREAT!

I know I feel healthier and happier for no longer giving a fuck about my weight, but no one's applauding me for that.

Like she can't be proud of anything else she's ever done? Everything else was worthless, but now that she's lost the weight, she's a real person who deserves praise? Fuck you.

Can we not glorify weight loss, please? Can we find it within ourselves to accept ourselves as we are, in all our strange forms?

I am 100% against pigeonholing a person because of a disability. Whether or not someone is compliant with a treatment regime is one thing, but assuming that they won't be because "zomg bipolar" is just wrong.

I once asked my husband why he married a fat, tired old woman. He said, "It's not like I didn't know those things about you when I married you. And besides, why did you marry a tall skinny beanpole like me?"

+10000000

We are all imperfect in our own right. I may have some issues to work through, but recovery is always possible, and we should always strive to be our best selves. Defeatist attitudes like the one displayed here are just... Ugh.

"She will never be able to say her bipolar disorder is gone."

Godspeed on your guys' work. Thanks for effecting some positive change from this shitshow.

Or maybe BRIMSG. But between the middle name and the avatar I knew it was you.

YOU CHANGED YOUR NAME WTF

I'm proud to say I'm giving Miley and this fiasco as much thought as she put into her performance and the after-effects of it, which is to say, none at all.

I got really, really tired of the game after about 1.5 times through.
