Nobody is saying sustained weight loss is impossible, and if you want to deny fat people get shamed at the gym then that's your thing but body shaming is a very real thing. You qualify this terrible thing of shaming as a fat person trying to lose weight, but you don't know anybodies weight loss goals unless you see them in the gym. So that person trying to lose weight may still get shamed outside of the gym because hey they're just fat.

Body acceptance isn't about not changing your current body. It's about loving yourself and knowing your worth something. The negative attitude that comes from body shaming just leads to comfort eating
