i am so tired of ppl not watching the video and rbing with their ignorant opinions going on abt “dress for your body type” and shit like…. that’s not the point. the point is that almost everything deemed trendy and attractive is awarded these qualities BECAUSE they are worn by tall, skinny and usually white bodies.

if y’all had bothered to watch the video, you would’ve seen the comparison between gigi hadid wearing denim shorts and a regular ass shirt and a normal fat woman wearing the exact same fit, and how drastic the reception was for the latter. it’s the exact same outfit, nothing revolutionary or new, i can’t even call it fashion—denim shorts and a t-shirt. yet the fat woman was mocked relentlessly online and said she looked like a racist, while miss hadid was praised for being a trendsetter and a fashion icon.

and not for nothing but y’all have to shut the fuck up abt dressing for body types. it’s bullshit. women should be able to wear whatever the fuck we desire without needing others’ approval for whether or not our bodies are attractive enough for you to let us get out of the house or post pictures online. the most important thing is that YOU like what you’re wearing and YOU feel confident and comfortable in your outfits and your expression of yourself. wear a long skirt “even if” you’re short. wear 6 inch heels “even if” you’re 6 feet tall. wear crop tops and hot shorts and backless dresses “even if” you’re fat. cover up and take off whatever you want as long as you like what you’re wearing.

does anyone else have this weird relationship with food predicated on a different understanding of hunger?

i tend to order out and then pass on leftovers to friends. one friend gets the leftovers a lot because we’re neighbors, and whenever i ask her if she wants it, she always asks me “are you gonna eat it?”

and every time i say “no,” i have to bite back my instinctual response because then i know she won’t take it and i’ll put it in my fridge and eat all of it

my actual answer is “yes,” but not because i’m hungry. i’ll eat it because it’s there and i want it and i love food and the sad reality is that you could ask me “are you gonna eat it” to every piece of food i have and the answer is yes, even when i’m full.

it’s also really awkward when i offer people food and then also finish the entire plate, sometimes i get “wow, you were really hungry, how come you offered me some!” and the truth is, i wasn’t hungry. i mean i was probably, initially, but when i was at a heavier weight i started to realize that i ate because i ate.

i offer people food because in all likelihood i can and i will finish all the food on my plate if i don’t otherwise, and it’s not that i don’t want to but that i’ve eaten like that my whole life, it’s just impossible to start.

i don’t know why i am like this, but i am. i just don’t understand questions like “are you gonna eat it,” because i guess i’m not trying to solve a hunger, but removing a temptation and most people don’t see food like that at all.
