You do realize that if everyone else’s fit bits are fine and you’ve gone through 7 of them, the problem likely lies with you, right?

Following the link above to Everyday Carry post Int. Press Launch Carry-On, the bag owner does state,

Definite rookie mistake - I ALWAYS take at least a pair of underwear, usually a lightweight change of clothes just in case. It’s come in handy more than once too...

No extra pair of underware in case you get separated from your checked bag overnight? Rookie mistake, my friend.

Actually, I think it's perfectly legitimate to feel devalued when an author directly attacks your life choices and perpetuates misinformation about a program you're using.

FINALLY! I've been reading Jezebel for years and I am absolutely sick of the rhetoric implying that I SHOULD be happy and healthy at a larger weight. Well, I wasn't happy and I sure wasn't healthy. What's more, years of pretending to be happy as a bigger woman resulted in a polycystic ovarian syndrome diagnosis and…

I am SO happy to see this comment and completely agree. I'm a long-time, consistent reader of Jezebel, and also getting to sick of this trend, "Like a lot of Jezebel articles, it INSISTS that health is possible at every weight (get real - it just isn't)." YES. I hate all the weight-related articles here now. The…

Good point. It's usually not vain to not want to carry extra weight. For example, my dad is pretty active - he climbs mountains frequently, and goes to the gym regularly. But he's always had issues with weight/overeating, as have all his 5 siblings. He started having knee and ankle issues, and the doctor told him it…

Props on your weight loss. I feel like some Jezebel writers can ignore the point that, even if it's not strictly for health reasons, trying to be disciplined about your body can be its own reward (plus you look better at the beach).

Amen, as a woman who chose to lose 50lbs, worked hard at it and has continued to work hard to keep it off I am sick and fucking tired of writers on Jez making me out to be some vapid little girl only concerned about society. How bout I feel a whole lot better about myself now, both mentally and physically so stop…

False. I ran for years and never lost weight or got thinner from it. Most girls on my cross country and track teams didn't either. Granted none of us were significantly overweight, but even those of us with an extra 10 pounds were typically still carrying them at the end of the season. My guess is that when you're…

You are so right about the self-hatred thing. This article and the ones like it that have been running lately make me SO ANGRY with Jezebel. I come here to read about social injustice and women's issues, so why do I keep finding my own life choices being judged here?

Thank you for writing that. I too, am tired of articles on Jezebel that tell me that if I want to lose weight, I'm vain and brain-washed, and doomed to fail. I lost 15 pounds on weight watchers, very slowly, by making small changes. I now weigh around 150 at 5'3, and plan to lose another 5 pounds or so. I now eat more…

On the contrary - I don't hate fat people. I was one for nearly 30 years. I know precisely how difficult it is to lose weight and that it's not a priority in everyone's life. Nor should it have to be. All I'm saying is that making it OK to be fat shouldn't mean that we demean people who want to be skinny or claim…

Well I'm glad that works for you, but running is not a cure-all. I really enjoy running just for the sake of running, but the weight has definitely not just fallen off of me.

Actually, running an eight-minute mile gave me knee problems, but good luck with that whole ignorant-ableism thing.

All of this. I love coming to Jezebel but the fat acceptance articles rub me the wrong way. No of course fat people should not be persecuted for the fact that they are fat, but dammit, I shouldn't be either because I believe in diet and exercise and I don't think it's bunk to think that losing weight most of the time…

A-fucking-men to this. I too am getting very tired of the tone in a lot of the Jezebel pieces on weight. What I find particularly troubling is the assertion that you mention in your first paragraph - that these pieces INSIST that true healthiness is possible at any weight. You're right! It isn't! And to me that's…

I think it's moreso that Jezebel has a special way of making people who CHOOSE to lose weight feel like shit for not accepting themselves. There are plenty of other reasons for losing weight than just being vain. Why aren't we celebrating those who do lose weight and celebrating those who choose not to? It shouldn't…
