What a horrible fucking thing to tell CHILDREN. They don’t need to know all of this. Creating a child is a complex series of events that are much more complicated than counting to ten, something they just learned how to do because THIS SHOW IS GEARED TO YOUNG CHILDREN!!!!! Stop Lindsey and her demented teddy bear.
It’s all about simple switches, and not expensive ones either. Apples and bananas are quite cheap.Â
Plus, look at how much healthier the right is, calories aside.Â
Do your body a favor.
Not to mention the right side will fill you up whilst the left leaves you still hungry
It’s a start of a new year.
Don’t let people convince you it can’t be a new start for you.
Healthy weight loss is possible.
Studies have shown “fat and fit” is not real.
Obesity is an illness.
The fact everyone can lose weight is a law of thermodynamics
You are not stuck as you are.
You can change your life.
PERFECT
Having big boobs while being a fat girl still counts as having big boobs
Doesn’t make you attractive tho
Fuck bikini season. THIS is why we need to get our shit together and live healthier lives.Â
The ugly truth.
So exactly what “Privileges” do I get from being thin?
Living longer?
Having lower blood pressure?
Sweating less?
Being at lower risk of heart disease?
Being able to find clothes my size?
Being seen as more attractive by most people?
The ability to actually see my own genitalia?
Because I have news for you. None of those are privileges. Those are the benefits of me taking care of my body.
But nope, that’s just too hard, right? Obviously the better solution is to keep shouting “Oppression!” in a fruitless attempt to try to make the world bend to your bad decisions.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
The month of May will be Fat Acceptance/No Diet Month
So reblog this so it becomes a big thing and actually known
The month of May I won’t have an appetite just imagining all the pigs in bikinis slowly killing themselves
I keep seeing posts of thin people explaining that body positivity is unnecessary or ridiculous, all while wildly missing the point of what body positivity is and who it’s for.Â
I mean it must be easy to find it useless when you’re a thin white cis able bodied perisex person with conventionally attractive features and the money to buy whatever beauty products you want but like, some of us aren’t you.Â
And for some of us, body positivity and fat acceptance are radical acts of defiance against kyriarchy and a demand to no longer be oppressed. So I mean. It matters.
Like, body positivity isn’t just about wanting people to call you pretty, although recognizing that you are beautiful in a world that tells you otherwise is a radical act.
It’s about normalizing transgender and intersex bodies and fighting for their body autonomy and against transphobia and intersexism. It’s about making the world for accessible for fat and disabled bodies and putting an end to ableism. It’s about holding doctors accountable and demanding that they treat and help people of color, women, and fat people the same way they treat cishet white skinny men. It’s fighting against fatphobia and diet culture, rallying against misogyny, etc. It’s activism, it’s feminism, it’s revolutionary.
There are real people out there who can’t legally wear their natural hair, or who are given less pay because of how they look, or are being denied equal rights because of the body type they have or the appearance of their genitalia. Can you really tell me that fighting against that kind of thing is useless?
And yes, a lot of body positive blogs struggle with intersectionality. Many fail to move past sharing pastel images with cute slogans that only make thin white cishet perisex women feel better. But that is the fault of those bloggers. It doesn’t make body positivity useless; it just means that it is due for a makeover.Â
Body positivity and fat acceptance are not and have never been about just wanting other people to think you’re pretty. It’s not about your worth and value being defined by your prettiness.Â
And all these posts out there calling body positivity a worthless movement because “We shouldn’t be defined by our looks” or “I don’t want to be called pretty” are wildly missing the point. It’s not about that. It’s never been about that.
I just wish people could understand that the oppression I face isn’t some minor issue that doesn’t need to be challenged. Like, maybe that’s not what these people intend to say when they talk like this but that is exactly what I hear.Â

This is one of the biggest heaps of bullshit I’ve ever heard in my life
Body Positivity is
Respecting your body enough to change or get help when you are at an unhealthy weight
Respecting other people despite whatever their bodies may look like
Treating your body well
Accepting yourself for the things you can’t change
Being (or making an effort) to be comfortable in your own skin
Body Positivity is not
Fat acceptance
Encouraging unhealthy eating behaviors
Disrespectful of smaller or bigger bodies
An excuse for excessively overweight people to stay excessively overweight
The premise is simple. Men who love men are gay. Women who love women are lesbians. People who love both are bisexual. You need dysphoria to be trans. Pronouns are gendered. Gender is not a feeling. Gender and sexuality are not choices. GNC people exist.
PREACH
i just really wanna see fat girls being the love interest in movies. i really wanna see fat girls kicking ass in movies. i wanna see fat girls saving the day, taking no shit, and being adored in film. that would be cool.
That would be nice if fat people could actually move two inches without getting a fucking heart attack. Unless it’s some weird fetish, fat girls arent considered beautiful. Your abuse to your body shouldn’t be glamorized and it’s disgusting how it is. If you’re fat, you’re going to die very early in your life. If you’re fat, lose the weight and be healthy.
