I know it’s not helpful when someone tries to “help,” but don’t let counterculture define your body anymore more than norms. I’m tired of some waify faux-femmes walking around acting like me and the people I associate with don’t look damn adorable.

Thank you.  I forget this all the time.  And thank you because this actually does help, because it reminds me what I've done in the past to make myself happy.  What I actually need to do is some self-care.

Find some more babely non-waify Tumblr femmes to follow (never hurts) and scroll through their pages admiring their babeliness while reminding myself that they are babely and that I can be am babely in their babely ways too.  It will also help to reblog many of their pics.

Visit fernsandmoss's blog because she's sweet and she has a lot of pictures of different types of naked bodies on there.

Re-read "How to Fuck a Fat Woman" in Yes Means Yes.

Watch I'm The One That I Want.

Eat kettle corn from Trader Joe's because fuck it's so good.  And cook myself a romantic dinner.  And love eating it.  And feel proud of myself after eating it because I am a great cook.

Get drunk with friends after finals.

Also urban outfitters only makes clothes that fit one particular body shape “well”—- I don’t know how many times I’ve left there feeling like something was wrong with me, when the actual problem is that the way clothes are made doesn’t work for everyone.

This, yes.  And I don't know what's up with their mirrors or what, but I looked so short in everything I tried on.  Like squished.  I think it was because they aren't full-length mirrors.  I DEMAND FULL-LENGTH MIRRORS.  But I mean, all their clothes are overpriced anyway, even the sale items, and I don't need that shit when I can get any basic style I like there for so much cheaper at Forever 21 and actually look (and feel--that part is important) good in it.  And with UO, it also doesn't help that I'm looking at these dresses on uber-thin models online and everything looks good on them, but then I'm just making comparisons between myself and them when I try on the clothes, which isn't fair to me or to them.  Same with Need (much love for LJC though).  Because it is unrealistic for me to hold myself to their standards, starting with the fact that I'm 5'2" and going all the way to the fact that I love beer n candy.  And I need to remember that if I don't hold other people who don't look like society's definition of the perfect thin person to these standards, then it is extremely unfair to hold myself to these standards.  And all of this has more to do with my body dysmorphic disorder than anything, so it's not like I can have some epiphany and snap out of having a mental disorder, but it should help me to remember that the system is fucked and the people who support it are fucked too. So I may not be able to apply that to myself, because in order to be as cruel to myself as possible I must support the system, even involuntarily.  But if anyone outside of me tries to apply the system to me by saying that I am not cute/sexy because I am not as thin as my mom and sisters, that I am not as thin as I could possibly be, then ~fuck them~.
