betterthandarkchocolate asked: TW: Bulimia. Hey I just wanted to say that you have an amazing blog. I have suffered from bulimia when I was a teenager and I'm still trying to change my perceptions of myself. I have severe depression which has resulted in an increased appetite and now I'm the heaviest I've ever been. Yet I'm probably also the happiest I have been with myself. I'm ever so slowly starting...

Pride in a Friend- Re: Annie.
I don’t know if I can write in just to pump someone else up, but I want to try. So. Once upon a time: I became friends with this sensitive, nerdy and all around awesome girl named Annie in the amazing, quick blooming fashion of like-minded internet addicts. We traded messages rapid-fire, spamming each other with epic walls of text, covering every topic under the sun, as well as lots of...
Anonymous asked: In regards to the dove thing: Everyone keep in mind this is the same company that labels their tanning moisturizer for "normal to dark skin" and is owned by a company the sells skin whitening products. I appreciate the efforts in this campaign but it seems more like a marketing ploy more than anything. Like you said if they really want to represent "real" bodies, ideally they...

Anonymous asked: Reguarding the Anon who talked about the Dove Campaign: I didn't even notice the "hourglass" figures. I don't think that most people do, either. But you have to admit that it's a huge step-up from the Victoria Secret one. I don't get why we can't give credit to them for at least trying to have more variety

Anonymous asked: Also, with the Dove campaign, it's still flatter stomachs and hourglass figures, still considered more socially accepted beauty.

(trigger warning for mentions of fitspo images and self-harm)
Earlier today I was having a discussion with a friend about fitspo. She is trying to lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle, and she is using fitspo as what it claims to be - an inpsiration to be fit. She told me how motivating fitspo content is for her.
Now, I have to state that I am not a plus-size woman, I am what you would...
antumbral asked: I saw your photoset from July 28th (the one with the red pencil skirt), and I just wanted to say you are so damn fabulous. It's really inspiring. <3
Anonymous asked: I'm sitting here crying at Annie's post because she is basically me with a different name. I want to love myself but if I ever have a moment where I don't hate my body and think, "Hey, you know, I might actually be attractive," it scares me. I don't know what to do with that feeling. I've gotten so used to hating myself. How do I keep myself from hiding from...

So a series of hot sexy pix of me were reblogged by fatlossinspiration. They feature me from my shoulders up enjoying a delicious breakfast burrito and having seriously fierce hair. You can’t even see my fat body, just the face of an angel making out with a burrito. I do agree about one thing: I am an inspiration.
They also reblogged a...

The Limits of Social Justice Blogging →

“Social justice blogging. It can be a clusterfuck. Say one thing wrong when you were 18, and you’ll start receiving death threats because you were once young, didn’t know any better, and used a word that marginalizes certain groups. Being older, you apologized, but social justice doesn’t know how to forgive and really doesn’t know how to forget.

Hi. My name is Annie and I’ve just turned 18 in June. Ever since seventh grade, I’ve been very conscious about my weight. I wanted to be thin, to have a flat stomach, to be girly and cute and not hide behind my baggy shirts and cardigans and loose pants. I felt ashamed of my body, and the developing anxiety didn’t help. I went throughout middle school and high school hiding...
benedough answered your question: YOU CAN WATCH ME ON YO VIDEO PHONE..?
I sent you a really long ask about the perception and my personal experience with boobs, could you include that in this? thanks :) x
Yes! Boobs!
Everyone be patient on the videos and questions to be answered, I am trying my best but some unexpected personal issues in my life may be slowing me down a bit. <3

Been thinkin’ about doin a video or something to answer some questions, let them queue up a bit and address a bunch at once. I’ve never done a video before and right now it appeals to me.

shakethecobwebs:
Yeah.
One of the things we really have to work on is the narrative that you must love your body, no matter what. Because some people really can’t, and telling them that it’s their fault is another way of perpetuating self-hate. Not okay.
I really don’t find it helpful to shame someone for struggling with how they feel about their body but as someone who has...

I remember reading a book once where one of the characters was a very big lady who was the most popular dance instructor at the local gym. She was overweight but still had mad skills. I wish I could remember what it was :3
With all the talk about fat acceptance at gyms, it reminded me of that.

For real! Anyone know about this book?

I’d flay this guy alive in commentary, but if you look at the rest of his Tumblr, he is so fucking pathetic it doesn’t seem fair.
He’s just pissed because the world isn’t kissing as much white male ass as it used to, and women are realizing that we don’t have to conform to standards set by assholes like him in order to get partners — of any gender, not just male — who love us for...

themanwhowasroissy:
Today, the modern feminism movement can be boiled down to one thing: allowing Western women to be fat sluts. They are fighting for the right to look as ghastly as they want while being able to ride one-hundred cocks without being judged.
While old-school feminists like the National Organization of Women (NOW) still have legislative goals in the form of...
