dude self love when you’re overweight is such a struggle because it’s like yes I agree that being fat isn’t a bad thing, yes I agree that many of my fat friends are attractive not “despite” their fat but because of their fat, yes I agree that being fat isn’t a moral failure, yes I agree that being fat isn’t shameful
but also if I look at myself in a mirror or in a photo I immediately tear myself down because of my weight, I immediately think I’m inherently uglier now that I’ve gained weight. it sucks because I don’t feel that way toward my fat friends, but when I look at my (fat) body I feel disgust and embarrassment.
