This last image is from a Pinterest board full of pictures of fat women.
I have a Pinterest board of my own called Fat Body Love where I collect pictures of fat women, articles, books, quotes, and anything else that gives me inspiration to love myself and the beautifully subversive fat bodies of others.
You will never hear me claim that it is easy to love your own fat body when surrounded by this toxic culture that’s at war with us. You won’t hear me claim that it’s easy to love the fat bodies of others when we are taught day in and day out to hate them.
But inasmuch as I’m in control of what I see, I choose to refuse to hide fatness from my view. I look and look and look and look again, because what I like to see necessarily must arise from what I see.
I just love your postings. I’ve gained 60 lbs since high school, and it has taken me almost 5 years to just get the hell over it and accept my body for what it is. I don’t overeat. I walk a few times a week. I eat healthy most of the time. I need to stop beating myself up for not being a size zero. You give me inspiration. :)
Thank you so much! Your comment gave me warm fuzzies! :-)
You are a really interesting person. I don’t agree with everything you say, but you are a damn good read. Keep at it!
