Being More Folks Favorable and Fat Shaming Problems

FKK Educational Bit About Fat Shaming And Being Folks Favorable:
Below you'll see an interaction that took place last night on the Naturist Portal Facebook wall. But before you read it, I want to only make a couple of points very clear
The FKK people positive outlook is one of approval. Do we see people who are overweight or underweight? Yes. But it isn't our place to judge these folks. First of all, every person is different, and everyone has health problems. We don't understand this history, we also do not know what this man is doing as a way to live a healthy life.
By bound to judgement, folks assume they understand what that person continues to be through and what physical issues they're forced to cope with. Also, the wellbeing of a person cannot be measured in pounds or inches.
People Positive Fat Shaming
Folks have the right to select how to lead their lives, and if they are happy then they truly are doing a superb job. In order to see the person for who they are, folks should look past the outward appearances and see the person for who they actually are.
Susceptibility to other people is a significant focus of the people favorable approach we take at FKK. We don't consider that offering advice on sensitive or personal matters unless an individual asks for an opinion.
We all desire to feel accepted - it is human nature. https://s3.amazonaws.com/q-naturist/nudism-family.html (even with fair good intentions at heart) could have a long lasting profound effect on someone's body image and general head. I mention general head since I wish to be clear that our people positive outlook does not start and / or end with body image and weight.
hard sex beach pic applies to numerous facets of life and human interaction. Intimidation is an excellent example of conduct that cannot and shouldn't be tolerated. Intimidation doesn't have to mean physically assaulting someone and causing bodily injury. A comment could make scars that last a life and this is something we tend not to approve of and frankly do not tolerate.
Occasionally folks might unknowingly say things or act in ways that could have negative repercussions. In such situations we expect those individuals to express some kind of sincere remorse (notably since the the comments are not meant to be hurtful). Saying sorry is in no way a display of weakness; if anything, it is a show of moral and ethical stature.
Recognizing that our actions influence others is the initial step to becoming a individuals positive and civilized society.
We shared a connection to photographer Jose Ferreira's series, "Body Language"
I do not believe that's wonderful. If I saw a bluebird or a butterfly or a squirrel or some other species of animal that obese I wouldn't think it was beautiful either. That woman must get on an all plants-based diet (vegan) and keep up her walking along the coastline.
"Mr.Y" Replies: How can you know she doesn't already do all that ?
Felicity Jones Remarks: Brian, among the bases of the FKK value system is that it is not our place to judge what somebody looks like, regardless of how large or small they might be. Opinions like yours can go a long way as much as damaging that person's self esteem and self-image. Frankly, https://s3.amazonaws.com/q-naturist/nudism.html are downright unacceptable. Stephen additionally makes a great point.
Research has shown that many overweight people do not eat any differently from thin individuals, and size is frequently not an accurate measure of how healthy a person is. (You can be quite a thin man who eats nothing but junk food & never exercises!) You do not know this woman, her background, her genes, her diet or exercise regimen, so do not presume to know what is best for her health and well-being. Why don't we reiterate, it's not your place nor ours to judge or make medical recommendations.
"Mr.Z" Comments: I agree with Nudist Portal but I'll say that it is difficult to find the balance between fighting obesity/promoting a healthy weight and also not judging people. I might never say anything to offend anyone, but WHAT'S the proper way to promote a healthy weight without outrage corpulent people or promoting sex?
Felicity Responds: "Mr.Z", what anyone can do is have a healthy lifestyle and lead by example. But other than that we should accept them. And essentially just offer help or advice if they ask you for it. It is offensive to visit your own notions of how that man should shift their body or lifestyle, particularly when you don't understand the man's medical history.
(But it ain't easy and you have to be dedicated!) This is a great article on this subject: 'What's Wrong With Fat Shaming? Fat shaming ought to be self explanatory, but it's actually kind of tricky to' [click here to see the whole post]
Brian Anthony Kraemer Responds: I know my words are not politically correct, but I don't believe the argument that this is healthy. Give me one example of any species on the planet other than human beings who are grossly overweight and still have the ability to congratulate each other on how delightful they've been. If the woman pictured has some form of thyroid imbalance or other rare physical problem that makes being obese a necessity, then her attempts to do the best she can with what she's got, and her attempt to beat it, is wonderful, but I will not say the obesity is beautiful.
If someone's face is horrifically marred by accident or disorder, he may be inwardly delightful, his spirit, his delight and happiness and strength of character may be amazing, but I'm not going to set a picture of his intimidating appearance on Facebook and entitle it, "Some lovely photographs."

Felicity: Brian, the purpose we were attempting to make is about not judging another individual based on their look / size. It's *not* about whether you think it is "amazing" or not. You're entitled for your own opinion about the attractiveness of any piece of art, or what you consider attractive in an individual, as is everyone.
What can you think of the "individuals positive" outlook? Fat shaming? Maybe you have experienced Fat Shaming or any type of Body Shaming?
