I'm glad it worked for him, but if someone did that to me, I'd probably get fatter just out of spite.

For the US users, that's 0.79 Danny DeVitos

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

According to the questionable celebrity health statistics website I found... Danny DeVito is 70kg, which is 11 stone... So it's more like the chef lost almost 1.9 Danny DeVitos. We Americans may have weird measuring systems, but we take them seriously!

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

My apologies, I accidentally divided by Dutch cask per stadion

[–] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Measuring in Smoots is a hill I will die on.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

294 lbs for other confused Americans, 133.4 Kg for everyone else that's not British.

[–] positiveWHAT@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Are you sure? 133 kilo is two of me...

[–] prayer@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

1 stone = 14 pounds ≈ 6 kilo

[–] el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

That's why this is a news article, it's really quite impressive in terms of both weight gained and weight lost.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That's what Google said

This brings me memories of fathate or whatever that fatfobic subreddit was called.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 2 years ago (1 children)

r/fatpeoplehate

They were so toxic that the site got noticeably better within 24 hours of them being banned.

They all migrated to Voat. Later, people from r/The_Donald also tried to join voat, but the fat hate people were too toxic even for them!

Yeah, they were awful, awful people.

I too have been struggling with my weight for most of my life (the worst was 135 kilos at 189cm height, usually sitting around 95-100). I have been occasionally made fun of as a kid for it too, so I’m happy treating fat people like shit isn’t that acceptable any more.

However, I actually feel society has gone too far in accepting it, being overweight is very unhealthy and at a certain point even a burden on everyone around you and the healthcare system. It should not be normalized like this.

Fat people don’t deserve to be ostracized, but they sure as shit don’t need to hear that they are healthy and okay to remain as they are, because it’s a blatant and dangerous lie. For the vast majority of overweight people it is a symptom of their poor lifestyle and not an actual medical condition.

I personally don't struggle with my weight, but whether I do or not is enitrely irrelevant. Body shaming is a big problem, and such conversations need to be kept between a medical provider and the patient. Someone's weight should not be up for discussion on a public platform.

Also, I do think it is good for people to love and accept themselves, no matter what their weight. In fact, in most cases this is the first step toward resolving health problems and addictions, which is something I am experienced with. When I felt ashamed of my addiction, I was caught in a circle of guilt from which I would never have become sober. It wasn't until I learned to accept myself where I was at that made it possible for me to heal.

But I'm not applying my experience to everyone else. This may vary by individual, which is why it is paramount that these discussions happen on an individual basis between the patient and provider.

It is? This sounds more like a moral judgment based on nothing but perception and the way fat people os portray in media and exactly wat the fat acceptance movement try to fight against.

[–] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Everyone can shut the f%# up about fatshaming, does someone have scientific evidence that shaming people for being fat does anything other than needlessly hurt people? I am betting that it makes it FAR more likely that the shamed person will spiral into more negative behaviors that result in their health worsening.

People need to stop pretending the glee they feel in judging others when fat shaming as also somehow a genuine concern for their health. Save your judgement for your own extremely flawed self.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think you wanted to reply to other person, im wrong on that?

[–] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Sorry kind of, I was meaning to basically agree with you my bad if it came off confusing

Fuckin shitty people central

Only way someone can loose 130kg+ in 6 weeks if they get chopped in half.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

It says he texted him for six weeks. Not that is how fast he lost the weight. But at least that's how I read it.

[–] Mago@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thats not what is says

[–] Zeon@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

I assume the texting was six weeks but the weight losing longer

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

He lost a lot of weight and all it took was daily malicious bullying?! How inspirational.

[–] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's not necessarily malicious -- given general humour in this country, it's likely he wanted to lose weight and asked his friend to text him that daily as a form of motivation.

Edit: however, I'd like to point out that consensually being sent that by a friend is fundamentally different to having abuse thrown at you by a stranger on the internet for your body shape.

[–] xploit@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Well it's UK so I'm guessing now the friend goes: "skinny fuck" every day?

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anyone else a bit suspicious of a skinny chef?

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes very much so. There was this bakery I would go to when I was a teen who had the best chocolate chip cookies ever. The woman behind the counter stood taller than pretty much any woman I have ever seen and her obesity made me wonder how she could even stand.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

So were those stones ugly? Or just too much for his furniture? Why is this so anti-stones?

[–] jana@leminal.space 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He ate them, that's why he was so big. He lost (passed?) them and is now skinny

21 stone in six weeks?

[–] Ticklemytip@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

To me, I read it as though he decided to lose weight after 6 weeks of his friend texting him. He then decided after 6 weeks, that he will start losing the weight. Yea? Yea I'll go with that

[–] ahriboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Did he pay for 1½ month gym membership?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago

And they say words don't affect you physically.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Damn, I don't even weigh 21 stone, he lost more than I weigh! That's wild.

This is how the devil thinks that motivation works. He probably was a chef though.
