I’m now off to bed!  But before I go, I’ve dumped some more lovely fat art that I’ve collected on DA recently into my queue.  Enjoy the fattery this afternoon!

XO Jane: Suck It, Food Guilt Season

XO Jane: Suck It, Food Guilt Season

realsesmith:

You don’t need to feel guilty for what you choose to eat, and you have nothing to make up for, and no reason to apologize. You don’t need to make self-deprecating jokes about how whatever you are eating will go straight to your thighs and you’ll need to spend extra time on the stairmaster to be virtuous again.

You don’t need to titter and say “Well, maybe just a little bit more” when someone offers something you want to eat. Nor do you need to apologize when you don’t really want to eat any of Auntie Susan’s sweet potato casserole because you can’t stand marshmallows; it’s totally fine to say “I’m good, thanks.”

i go to the university of memphis, and walking home from my class this evening, i saw these signs. i’m sure there’s more all over campus but these are the ones i saw. it really hurt my heart reading them. because i know i’ve had major self esteem issues in my life, and i’m sure most of you have too. we’ve all been there and we all know how it feels. the one that really got my attention was the one about how girl’s self esteem peaks at age 9. and i thought ‘that can’t be accurate
’ but then i thought about it, and i’ve felt self conscience about my body/face as little as second grade. that’s about 8/9 years old. i just hate this. everyone deserves to feel beautiful. no matter what gender, weight, height, hair color, skin color, OR ANYTHING. we’re all people, we all have feelings, and we’re all beautiful.

BE BRAVE! JOIN THE BODY PEACE REVOLUTION!

A photo of my boyfriend and I from a Halloween party last Saturday!  I found this adorable purple kimono dress on clearance for something ridiculous like six dollars.  I layered a black skirt underneath it since it was a bit short and jersey can ride up like a mofo sometimes. ^_^  I’m also wearing my definatalie Fat Necklace!

I think I’m looking really cute.  Thanks, Fat Acceptance!
