What’s an “overly confident” fat girl?
A fat girl who doesnt hate herself?
A fat girl who isnt afraid of her body or to show her body?
A fat girl who likes herself?
A fat girl who wears the clothes she wants as opposed to covering herself up in a potato sack?
A fat girl who isnt afraid to eat in public?
A fat girl who proclaims that she likes to fuck and she does fuck….and she fucks well?
A fat girl who shows pictures of herself?
A fat girl who knows she’s fat so you can’t use the word fat as an insult the way you normally would because you lack creativity and vocabulary?
A fat girl who isn’t looking for your approval?
A fat girl who dares reject society’s standard of beauty?
A fat girl who is comfortable in her skin?
What exactly is an “overly confident” fat girl?
this is one of my favorite pictures of myself.
Curvy Yogi Appreciation (Part V)
[because yogis come in all shapes and sizes]
uhhh no. there is nothing wrong with being curvy, but when you’re obese and have health problems, it is no longer body positivity. i am all for being proud of your body, but not to the point when it risks your life because of heart problems, joint problems, etc. fuck this post.
BEING OBESE DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS FFS I AM SO DONE WITH THIS ARGUMENT. I KNOW A WOMAN WHO IS OF AVERAGE WEIGHT AND HAS A CHRONIC ILLNESS. I ALSO KNOW AN OBESE WOMAN WHO IS THE ABSOLUTE PICTURE OF HEALTH. WHEN WILL PEOPLE REALISE NOT ALL LARGER PEOPLE ARE DIABETIC OR AT RISK OF A STROKE OR SUFFERING FROM HEART FAILURE??! BUT NO, CLEARLY IF YOU’RE OBESE, YOU’RE LESS OF A HUMAN BEING AND DONT DESERVE TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR BODY RIGHT?! AAAAAAAAH.
I’m a fat type 1 diabetic. Even though I’m a Bad Fatty I deserve respect. Fat acceptance isn’t just about Good Fatties. We’re all humans.
To kittyoftheyear - suck on my fat knee. Do you have so few problems that you must focus on other people? Piss right off concern troll.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP.
“I’m all for being proud of your body, just not of YOUR body” will forever and always be bullshit.
You know who were the first people to talk about anything like body positivity? Fat people. Great big fat people. Some of whom may have even had health concerns. (gasp!) They also saw that the fat positive vocabulary and philosophies they were developing could help many others so they opened up their work. And what happened? People like this tried to snatch it away from them. Tell them they had no right to what they created. Suddenly body positivity was supposed to only be for bodies you’re supposed to be positive about and the mean hamplanets were trying to make it mean something else instead of “size acceptance for acceptable sizes”.
Fuck that.
Hey guys!! Remember when there used to not be any fat people in the world? Yeah…. Me either

And straight on until morning....: The next person who tells me body shaming isn’t about hate it’s about...
The next person who tells me body shaming isn’t about hate it’s about health is going to be choked the fuck out, by me. It’s such an ignorant bullshit comment that gets thrown around. Make the fatties ashamed of themselves and they’ll change. I think some people actually believe that’s what they’re doing and that’s actually worse.
Yesterday when I was walking to work (which I do, every day, five days a week, ha, I know right, fatties walking, sometimes it happens when we have to go places) and I came across all these women running shuttle runs up and down the street from the local gym. No biggie, they’re usually out and about talking and running and running and talking.
But there was one woman at the head of the pack, quite literally running rings around the others and with ease. She was easily a size 20 and while she had a sweat going, running was no more difficult for her than the other women running behind her. So as I walked past I start to hear it, it’s that murmur every fat person knows. The mocking laughing kind we have heard our whole lives. I picked up a few choice words like ‘disgusting’ and ‘repulsive’ and ‘she should keep it at home’ and my favourite ‘I don’t want to see that!’
Now here’s a woman doing her thing, doing what people say they want fat people to do. She’s working out. But she’s not safe from the mockery of her body? How is that about health? It isn’t, that’s how. It’s about hate. Hate and shame and a stigma so great most people don’t even know how deep it really runs.
I’ve never received more verbal abuse from strangers than when I’m being active. So seriously, instead of saying ‘I just want people to be healthy! They’re a drain on health resources! OBESITY EPIDEMIC!!!!!!!111!!one!!!’ How about you just say what we all know you’re thinking?
‘I hate fat people.’
It’s okay, we hate you, too.
I’ve been saying this forever.
