Happy #FatFatFridays Y’all! It’s been a while since I consistently did this & I find myself in need of the amplification and reminders that this space holds. Here is to #BodyCelebration Feel FREE. Free of censorship. Free of apologizing for who you are, what you are, how you are, why you are... Free from judgment. Free to wear what you want... Or nothing at all. Free to take up space. Free to exist in your body. Free of shame. Free to BE. #fatfatfridays #fat #fatandfree #fatwomenofcolor #effyourbodystandards #thebodyisnotanapology #radicalselflove #deepercareofself™️ REPOST @thebodyisnotanapology When lovely people like @curvynyome get censored by big tech for simply existing in their bodies, the only answer is to amplify them far and wide 🖤 👸🏾 🖤 From the original post: "Why is my body always being censored!? It’s always Black women with bigger bodies and I am tired, I am out here sharing my art and trying to normalise ALL body types and I keep getting shut down at every turn but don’t worry I’ll keep doing my thing though.⠀ ⠀ Image by @rachelanthiasherlock"⠀ .⠀ .⠀ [image description: photo of Nyome Nicholas-Williams, a plus-size Black woman who is posing nude with her back to the camera in front of a peach-rose drapey backdrop. She has a buzzcut and looks upward and to the right with her eyes closed, her right arm raised gracefully and touching the top of her head. She gifts the viewer with her curvy side rolls as she perches atop a stool or pedestal.]⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #TheBodyIsNotAnApology #TBINAA #RadicalSelfLove https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3nCK8FOMO/?igshid=1fs82r8luir14

Hey y'all hey! Happy #FatFatFridays!!! I walked into the world in my #LiveYourTruth tee tied into a knot (so my belly was out) with my #SensitiveSoul pin (because my adjectives are as important as my pronouns) and these pants (which I've altered into a skirt) and TOOK UP SPACE. I found a bookstore I love with a big, red couch I fell in love with and TOOK UP SPACE. • • • TAKE HEART LOVES AND UP ALL YOUR SPACE. 💜💜💜 • • • #HopeDealer #fat #fatandfree #fatwomenofcolor #effyourbodystandards #thebodyisnotanapology #radicalselflove

Hey y'all hey! Happy #FatFatFridays Get into ALL OF THIS #Repost @iamivyfelicia ・・・ I feel actual sadness and mourning when I think of the years I lost believing that I was obligated to diet, due to the size of my body. 😢😭 ° I literally felt that dieting was the price I had to pay for being fat. I thought that I wasn't ENOUGH. I wasn't thin enough. I wasn't healthy enough. I thought I wasn't disciplined enough, in spite of DECADES of food restrictions and extreme exercise. I believed the LIES that society told me and those lies killed my spirit. ° If you are living in the prison of this belief system, please know that you don't OWE the world weight-loss. You are ENOUGH. You get to choose peace in your body at any size, shape, or stage of life. ° Credit to @samtryonrd : It is often assumed that anyone in a higher weight body is on a diet or at least wants to lose weight. When clients begin to let go of the constant quest for weight loss and start nourishing their body without judgment, sometimes the people around them get very uncomfortable. Clients have told me stories of comments from friends/ family such as “So, you’re just going to be OK with being fat?” . Intentional weight loss below your body’s happy place does not work. The happy place is the weight our body lands at when we are mostly eating for hunger and fullness without restrictions. Our body’s happy place does not care at all about BMI range. . If dieting for weight loss below this place doesn’t work, then why do we put ourselves through that hell. When we begin to realize this and accept our body as it is, we reach our own happy place with freedom. . Those who might assume that you are trying to lose weight live in the diet-minded world we are trying to get away from. They may not understand what it would like to let go of dieting themselves. Well, I am here to tell you that it is 100% OK to “be OK with being fat.” In fact, as you may have already guessed, I think it is better than OK. 😉 ° ° #MeMyBodyAndLove #BodyPeace #selflove #FatWomenOfColor #fatacceptance #fatpositive #fatacceptancemovement #ditchthediet #bodyacceptance #bodycompassion #iamenough #youareenough #NeverTooMuchAlwaysEnough
