People on the fat acceptance movement say “They want me to be smaller” suggesting their identity and presence is intrinsically linked to the size of their physical body. 

We want you to live in a smaller body than you are currently in in the hope that you’ll live a longer, happier, healthier life - meaning your PRESENCE is in fact bigger. 

This is not hard to understand. You are not your fat, your fat is taking space from the person you could be.

Words can’t describe how different and how much better I feel these days. It isn’t just the weight. It was never just the weight; it was all of the things I thought I wasn’t allowed to be. From a young age, I’d allowed myself to be convinced by society that I wouldn’t look good no matter what I did, so why bother trying? I thought feeling beautiful was only something deserved by the people who fit into our beauty standards, and because of my size and my style I could never be that. I got to a point some time ago where I grew tired of waiting for the world to recognize my beauty, so I stopped looking for its approval. I am who I am, all things bright and gorgeous, and the world can catch up whenever it’s ready. 2009-2018 16 - 25 497 lbs - 200 lbs

Had a lil bopo phot shoot bc I'm feelin CUTE in this bathing suit that my mom had in the 90s. If I saw these pictures of myself a year ago, I would have been a puddle of tears. Cellulite?? Double chin?? My arms?? But I see these pictures now and I see joy, I see confidence, and I see a newfound love for all the softness and jiggle and curves that this recovery body is.
