Combat Anon Hate is a new tumblr focused on distributing kind messages to those who need it most.

This is lovely!
seriously, FUCK this shit.
i’m not “seeing results” because my body doesn’t give a fuck.
so i’ve stopped looking for “results” not because i’ve given up, but because it’s fucking common sense.
my body is persistently, unequivocally FAT.
it always has been, and always will be.
no amount of steps i take will change this.
what some perceive as giving up, i perceive as moving the fuck on with my life and accepting my role as a fat and fabulous woman who can eat, sleep, and exercise normally without losing a goddamn pound.
this is part of the thought process i have to go through every time i see a graphic like this, or ones like it that are more damaging - i have to rationalize my own body and existence and way of thinking. i have to reassure myself and remind myself of the past. i have to try very hard not to let my mind shift into a reductionist frame of mind that i’ve tried so hard to break, because it’s not worth it to my health and happiness.
fuck. this. shit. i want to wipe fitspo (and thinspo) off the fucking planet.
END RANT.
