FatAnarchy @fatanarchy - Tumblr Blog

hello, so ages ago (probably about a year ago) i sent you an ask basically saying how 'skinny people get hate too' and 'how about showing a little respect'. i just remembered that i did that and i would like to sincerely apologise for being such a huge bag of dicks. i now understand how completely wrong i was and i am very sorry.

Hey I know this is old af but fuck if people owning their shit isn’t hard to come by and I hardcore respect you for saying this.

I came over here from TITP. I check in there occasionally, but don't post. You and the other mods do a great service to the world, regardless of the trolls. It's nice to go to a space online and know that everyone there feels you in some form or fashion, at least slightly.

Anyway, I just wanted to say your quote made me smile. I use it every day when I log into the police department communications system as my daily note-type thing. It's going to be part of my next tat.

Brief backstory, I have been riding my bike and training to ride long trails and hiking as a goal to make myself feel and move better so that I can fight better (in karate). I'm still a big girl, but big girl can bench press herself. And do a pull up (in my 'run tell that!' voice). The quote from Hannibal has been one of two mantras I chant when the road gets a bit tough. The other, and i hope you will appreciate it despite the long-winded explanation, is non huc veni ut deficiam. It means, I have not come this far to fail. Those are going on my large and shapely forearm ;)

Anyway, the TL;DR version: you rock, you know Latin which obviously only augments your massive amount of awesome, and I relate.

Sorry for the anon-I don't have a tumblr. I just wanted to say thank you. It's an awesome source for anyone with body image issues. I'm not 'fat' but am overweight by BMI standards and have hated my body for as long as I can remember. I haven't gone outside without covering up in years. I can't eat in public for fear of judgement, and I have self harmed a lot through extreme diets and purging. I went outside today in shorts for the first time, thanks to you and your blog.

So old but I’m so glad it’s still helping people. ♥️

I don’t want to get too sentimental because everyone and everything is problematic in it’s way, but when I was a little girl there was no way in hell this would ever happen, much less be foreseeable. I’m grateful to all the fat women who put themselves out there to get us to this place.

Today I learned that in the first Olympics that had woman’s weightlifting, the united states weightlifter (who was 17 years old) set a U.S. record that hasn’t been beaten. She’s one of the most decorated female athletes in U.S history.

Her name is Cheryl Haworth, and this is her:
