Does Fuck Flattering = Fuck Your Feelings?
savethecurves: As I was listening to Just Stop (Which has no relation to this post)I began wondering if the acceptance of my body has been a mental display of becoming numb, or less emotionally aware. Accepting our bodies makes us more socially aware, and pysically aware, but what does it really do to our feelings, self esteem, and sense of self? I know as of now, I am completely fine with my...

How to deal with people who wear unflattering...
infinitetransit: Realise all aesthetic choices are subjective. Realise that they might think they look sexy as fuck. Remove yourself from the vicinity until you’ve learned to get over your fatphobia/transphobia/misogyny/racism or combination of those. Yes yes yes.

atomic-glitter asked: Hey I love your blog! And I just thought about something-The US seems to care so much about this obesity upturn in the US, but barely even aknowledges the extreme rise in eating disorders. My theory is because, again, fat shaming and they do not really caring about eating disorders because (they think) eating disorders= thinness and they think as long as you are thin you are "healthy",...

Why I quit dieting →
morebutter: I have tried a lot of diets in my life. Atkins, vegan, Weight Watchers, counting calories, Weigh Down Workshops, Paleo, Zone, South Beach, food logs.

I’ve spent hours in the gym, I’ve trained for races, I’ve done CrossFit, I’ve lifted weights. I’ve tried a lot of things. I’ve...

tw: body image/emotional eating/"fat shaming"
hi! I love your blog and I love the message for people to love themselves no matter what(fat/skinny, healthy/unhealthy and everything in between). What I’m wondering, however, is do you think the obesity “problem” in north america stems a lot from companies like macdonalds targeting children and impoverished people/families with their cheap food? It’s true that sugar and...

Hey! First of all, I am loving this blog - partly for the general message, and partly for all the gorgeous big babes I get to look at.  Secondly, I just want to talk a little bit about my relationship with my body, if I may. So, by the time I was 15, I was 6’ 2” and 240 lbs. I was also practically boobless with zero semblance of feminine shape, but at least with the power of...

gallifreyanturtles asked: Hi there. You reblogged your original picture of "Fat is not an insult" picture and I wanted to say I actually do agree and I love that picture because it finally shows people that hey, "fat" is not insulting! I just have a few impressionable and easily-triggered followers who I thought I should add the "it's an essential part of your body, guys" part just in...

from tertiatertia:  Since moving back home, my mom’s frequent critique of other people’s body types and style choices has become increasingly obnoxious.  I’m grateful that she doesn’t make comments about my body or food choices, but she certainly comments on herself and others.  For example, we were out together all last Saturday.  While stopped at a red light, a chubby...

accioarya asked: I'm trying to learn to be okay with myself.. not changing who I am or what I look like, going out wearing what I want and not caring what other people thing, etc. But my mum is making this very difficult. She makes rude comments about my clothes, and not so politely 'suggests' that I eat something else if I even LOOK at food that isn't good for me. Do you have any advice?

I wrote this post the other night and while it doesn’t deal with fat positivity, it is about a recent struggle I’ve had with my breasts—in a multitude of ways. I originally posted it on my personal blog, but I think it’s a useful and possibly helpful story for other women going through the same thing. If this doesn’t quite fit the parameters of what you’re...
