The idea that Thomas Sanders @thatsthat24 is as drop dead gorgeous as he is and still battles body negativity makes me feel like maybe I'm not doing that bad after all 💖 Thank you Thomas

I have moments.

Sometimes I love the fact that I have lost 35kgs.

Sometimes I feel my stretch marks that cover my entire body and they feel like intricate river systems.

And sometimes I feel so utterly disgusted with myself that my body has turned against me.

I wish I didn’t have either.

I often feel like if I were 44kg my life would be so much easier, but I know thats not true

Confession 11

I’m a raging feminist but I also hate my body so that’s fucking fine

So I realized something. I realized how awful I can be to myself and how much that can effect others. Let me explain.

My sister and I were in Target looking at swimsuits and I wasn’t really looking because I never fit in to the suits there since I’m rather large chested. My sister (Who just turned 13) picked up a 2 piece, frowned, and put it back. I asked her why she put it back and she replied “Oh I’m too fat for a bikini.”

This made me stop dead in my tracks because my sister isn’t fat by any meaning of the word. She is tall, slim, and has some solid muscle from years of swimming. “Fat” is never a word I would use to describe my sister. Then I started to wonder how on earth she would get it into her head that she’s fat and it hit me: I was the reason.

I don’t call her fat nor do I even allude to the idea because A) she isn’t and B) I would never do that to anybody. I realized that she had been hearing me call myself fat, ugly, and a plethora of other awful things over the years and started to do that to herself. This is not okay. No 13 year old girl should say those things thinking that they are true, or that they should say them because thats what other girls do.

As of this day, I am stopping the negativity in my house. I know I can’t control what her friends, the boys at school, or her team members say, but I can stop what I say. From now on, no more tearing myself down even in private. No more “I’m too fat” “I’m not that good” “I need to loose weight” because I realized it not only effects me but my sister and every other girl I come into contact with. I’m ending this, for both my sister and myself.

You know, I'm so torn. I hate cat calling but damnit I could use the confidence boost
