Jacob Riis Beach hosts the day of body positivity and fun, in the city at the heart of the fat acceptance movement

Fat Beach Day events are springing up across the US in an effort to fight back against fat-phobia, reclaim safe spaces for the community and honor plus-size culture. Today, one of these celebrations is being held to coincide with Pride month at Jacob Riis Beach in New York, a location deeply ensconced in the city’s activism space.

    You don’t have to exercise to lose weight, you don’t even have to drastically change your diet.

    Eat. Less.

    You can lose weight on a diet of pizza, donuts and laying on the couch if you simply eat less calories than you burn.

    You quite frankly sound like one of the many enablers that wants to make every excuse possible about why it’s impossible to lose weight rather than taking responsibility for the countless poor eating decisions that lead to obesity. No one is born fat and no one wakes up fat, take responsibility.

      You also completely ignored the point I was making so that you could tell a stranger to eat less.
