daily reminders: body posi
body positivity is not “an excuse to eat whatever you want”. you don’t need an excuse. that’s the whole point.
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO EAT. no,you do not have to make up for it tomorrow. you need carbs and fats and you shouldn’t have to conform to a diet culture that normalizes malnourishment.
being bigger or heavier than your significant other is COMPLETELY NORMAL AND FINE. for cishet women, you don’t need to be lighter and thinner than your man just so he can carry you and swing you around. that’s not a requirement for a relationship. for cishet men, you don’t need to be “buff”, “built”, “macho” or bigger than your s/o just so you can seem like “the man in the relationship”. that is not a requirement for a relationship or manhood.
if you’re not fat, you don’t get to decide what’s not fatphobic.
you are not a “before” picture. and there is no “after”. there is only now. love your body now. there is no “body goals”. the only body that you should desire is your own.
DON’T EVER GIVE UNSOLICITED WEIGHT LOSS TIPS, “HEALTH TIPS” OR SUGGEST DIETS FOR PEOPLE TO TRY OUT. STOP PERPETUATING AND LEGITIMIZING DIET CULTURE.
body hair, cellulite and stretch marks are normal and if you like “the natural look” on women’s faces but not on their legs then you need to figure out what the hell is wrong with you.
“you look amazing! have you lost weight/ added weight?” isn’t a compliment. if anything, it makes the person feel like the only time they are worth anything/ look good is when alterations are made to their bodies. just leave it at “you look amazing!”.
Poor women are just as beautiful as women who can afford to buy the things that our society says makes us pretty or cute.
the person you find the most beautiful is indeed very beautiful. the person you see in the mirror is indeed very beautiful. the presence of someone else’s beauty doesn’t mean the absence of your own. admire other people’s beauty without questioning your own.
