HOW DARE YOU CALL ME FAT
Mars from Chicken Dinner Candybar does her regular Fat Love Friday and includes Marie from Agent Lover.

Marie is put off by her inclusion on a "fat" list and tells Mars so.

Mars offers to take it down. Marie refuses. Instead, she proclaims on her blog, "oh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale no!

Chaos ensues in the comments about fatphobia, body acceptance, fashion sense (or the lack thereof), and kissing-up commentors.

Is Marie brave or is she overreacting?

(I'm in the comments and I know Natalie [the 'overreacting' link], so I am slightly involved in the wank aftermath. It's pretty obvious which side i'm on.)

Seriously. I was working every weekend at a kennel for a year. I was still a size 18/20 because I had a crap ton of muscle from lifting the grates, cleaning the cages, walking the dogs, etc. It made me strong. I was still fat but I could kick like a mule. I'm very fat right now because the past couple years undiagnosed depression has killed my drive to be healthy. I'm slowly working my way back by walking more and then I'll add other things back but the only time I was a size 8 was when I was about at death's door. I dropped half my weight in a month or so and then found out that I was diabetic. (Another thing that's been killing my workout because I feel like shit afterwards (sugar issues).
