Call it what ya want, man. The guy in the comment above you is correct: fat shaming doesnt work for most.
Here's the problem for the XLers out there -- it's a lack of discipline: (1) they either dont like working out or (2) they cant control their eating habits. Personally, I remember putting on a few (not much, about 25lbs) and thinking, "Holy shit, I'm fat bastard!" So I started going to the gym and hitting the cardio hard. It didnt work! I realized I was getting in better shape, but wasnt shedding the weight. Then I began to eat right and in less than 4 weeks I lost over 30 lbs. It was simply due to not eating after 7pm and eating healthy.
From about 8-yrs-old until a senior in high school I wrestled, played football and baseball. I was an athletic kid and excelled as a wrestler, but was a solid wide receiver too -- I was lean as fast. 6'2, 175lbs during football season and wrestled at 16O. But in my 20s and 30s my natural lean weight was about 185-190. However, in my 40s it became evident that my metabolism was not what it once was.
Eating right is the key. If we treat our body like shit they will eventually respond like shit, due to the shortcomings associated with maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I'm a social researcher and trust me, fat shaming doesn't work. But a part of me thinks we should do it, because it does work for some.
