#fuck flattering

[biggirlshortruns]

My very first 5k. I finished a solid 10-15 minutes slower than the next person in my group (who isn’t actually in this group picture) I think, but I’m so glad I did it. As I said before, my final time was 43:49.83. The couple on the far right finished 2nd and 4th in their divisions (he qualified for and is running the Boston Marathon this year and only took 4th in his div because he ran with his girl) so I knew out of this group I would be doing nothing impressive, but guess what? I still got it done in my goal time (45 minutes or less) and it was my idea to run this damn race anyway so I will still think of it as a 2018 win. 

It doesn’t matter what I look like in these photos; I spent a Saturday morning in October running in the cold when I could have been sleeping and that’s an accomplishment. Super visible cellulite and my angry looking, no makeup wearing face don’t matter as much as the happiness that I felt when it was all done does.  I’m probably never going to take a super flattering race photo because I will be too busy trying not to lay down on the ground and die. 

I did spend the rest of the day with my friends drinking great Milwaukee craft beer and nothing gives you a better excuse to have a beer at 11 am than having run a 5k :)

Rainy saturdays are for lounging on the couch playing video games in a dress you're not brave enough to wear out of the house yet. I'll get there, though. Slowly learning to love every angle, even the "unflattering" ones. 💕✨🌈💕✨🌈💕✨🌈💕

in lieu of the whole Oprah magazine saying that if and only if you are thin you can wear crop tops, I decided to make this post. Here is a list of things that I’ve heard as far as ‘fashion rules’ for fat women. Do not wear: - shorts - crop tops - skinny jeans - short sleeves/tank tops - high waisted pants - anything that draws attention to your belly - bold colors or prints - short skirts or dresses - bikinis  - horizontal stripes - anything tight (these are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head, there are many more) This post is a big fuck you to a lifetime of being told how I should dress my body to make it look as small as possible.  When ‘flattering’ constantly means slimming it’s not a word I want anywhere near me.  We should not be made to feel ashamed of the body we have with these ridiculous set of rules and standards.  I do not need advice to look two sizes smaller or look more like the hourglass figure that I do not have. My number one fashion tip?  Wear whatever the hell you want and what makes YOU feel good.  That is what actually matters.

One thing I hear often is “I wish I had your flat stomach!” It’s true that depending on the lighting, angles, shapewear etc, that my tummy can look flatter than it actually is, but I promise it’s there. We shouldn’t feel like we can’t wear body con skirts or dresses because we’re afraid it will be seen, like its mere existence is shameful. In the body positive world, we call it ‘rocking the VBO’ (visible belly outline). It’s okay. Your body is okay.
