What makes you think that this person is just starting? 

Why can’t a larger body be seen as inspirational without implying that they’re a beginner, just starting out, or are trying to change themselves?

So you wanna rethink that rancid embarrassment of a post?

[misandry-mermaid]

Also it’s creepy, dehumanizing and objectifying to post a fat woman’s body with her head cropped out to use as your fitspo.

[pardonmewhileipanic]

people love chopping fat bodies into pieces for their thinspo/fitspo in order to further dehumanize and “other” us

we aren’t people to them; we’re decapitated before shots with a warning label slapped where our humanity should be

I dont think I ever wrote about this.  

When I took Chloe in for her physical the doctor had her get down to her underwear and the doctor checked her out and then said “I am just going to take a quick peek in your underwear to make sure everything is okay down there” and Chloe said “momma you said no one can look at my privates unless I tell them its okay and I dont ant her to look at them because I dont know her very well.”  I told her that it was her choice to have the doctor look or not but that I was right here and I would be sure the doctor did not do anything that was not okay, but if Chloe did not want her to look she didnt have to let her.  She looked at the doctor and said very matter of factly “I dont want you looking in my underwear, there is nothing wrong with my private parts, and I dont know you very well”  The doctor looked at Chloe and told her that she had the right to say no and that she wouldn’t force her to let her look.  She asked her questions about it, like does it itch, does it hurt when you pee and Chloe answered them and then started getting dressed.  The doctor pulled me aside and told me that she was a sexual assualt survivor and that she is so proud of my daughter for telling her no, even though she was a person of authority.  

I have always and will always teach my children they control their body, even and especially when it comes to people of authority.

I love this.
