Believe it or not we are complex and emotional human beings who deserve more than to be your body porn to motivate yourself to be less disgusting. Because let’s face it, that’s what you reduce us to when you slap a fat person’s photo on your fitness or weight loss related “inspiration” post.
.
My fat body does not exist for your public revulsion inspiration.
.
It is my actual body and it serves me quite well. I wear it every damn day and love every fat inch of it.
.
STOP DEHUMANIZING FAT BODIES SO THAT YOU CAN BE “INSPIRED” TO HATE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO COMFORM TO SOCIETY’S FUCKED UP BODY STANDARDS.
.
Our bodies are worth more respect than that, and quite frankly, so is yours.

Having a hard time with some people on Twitter doing this lately.  Happy New Year to me. u_u  This was precisely what I needed to read right now.

spam your dashboard with pictures of people that look like you. track tags for what you’re struggling with: “fat acceptance”, “natural hair”, “freckles”, “transgender”, “body hair”, etc. follow people who post about your specific concerns. make your own FUCKYEAH tumblr.

even if it’s uncomfortable at first, the more exposure you have to it, the less insecure you’ll be about it. eventually you will OWN it & start living in a happy self-love bubble. then, when confronted with backwards ignorant bullshit from other people, you’ll be laughing in their faces, not crying at home.

this might be old news to some, but i know a lot more people that could benefit from this. i think of tumblr as a customized magazine full of shit you’re selling to yourself – just make sure you’ve got the right message.
