#acceptable fat

Random Rambling

idk if it’s the body dysmorphia talking or whatever tf is wrong with me, but for such a long time I have always kind of felt like I could not fully connect with other plus size women online. Ever since I started trying to get into social media, I would purposely seek out and follow plus size bloggers, especially those that were big on fashion. However, I noticed that a lot of the plus size people that I kept seeing online generally fit into two categories: those that were just big enough to be considered plus size (like size 12/14) and those who were bigger but had a curvy, proportionate shape (i.e. “acceptable fat”) where they’re slimmer in the waist and bigger in the top and bottom. I don’t exactly fit into either category plus idek how I would describe what my body looks like (pear shaped? apple shaped?). I guess what I’m trying to say is that I would love to see more plus size women who are neither a size 12/14 or possess a curvy hourglass shape online

I learned some interesting things this weekend while in SF. Like how apparently some people in fat community are happy that they aren't "midwest fat." Good thing this midwest fat person will collect all your fat hatred and turn it into amazingness.

#MidwestFat is now a thing. 

For people asking,

What is Midwest Fat?

I read it as not only as a comment about how they are acceptably fat but also a classist and racist remark that specifically relies on anti-blackness as a lot of fat hatred in the midwest (and south) is directed at poor black people.
