Fat Acceptance is Unacceptable

The Fat Acceptance movement is little more than an excuse for obese people who have given up on themselves. That explains the insane success of weight-loss drugs that promise a better body without requiring a change in diet and exercise.

One thing I don't understand about America's love affair with obesity is this: If it's okay to be fat, and if it's wrong to fat-shame or judge someone by their size, then how come when famous fatties finally slim down they make such a big fuss about it, posting photos of themselves online which people ooh and ahh over, commenting things like "You go girl!" and "You got this!"?

Why is passing judgement on someone's newly-svelte body  perfectly okay, if not downright expected, while doing the same about that person's body when it was obese a forbidden act worthy of censure? 

If weight loss is so inspiring, then what is fat acceptance all about?
