it has all the important skinny representation for me! it may be a little silly, but i deserve to be silly after everything that i go through for this blog.
the flag in the background is my skinny pride flag btw, if anyone wants to use it
I love working out
I used to be fat and lazy. I played WoW and sat on my ass eating bag after bag of chips, stuffing my face with bacon, and drooling over cake. Now I still eat the same things when I feel like it, but I portion control, and eat far more soups and sandwiches. I run a 10 minute mile and a 12 minute mile every day, mixing in side bridges and cocoons for abs. And I am happier. I still love games, they just don't rule my life. I still love food, it's just not the only source of pleasure in my day. Then I come on tumblr and see I'm second-class because I love my body enough to take care of it. They say I hate my body because I don't spoil it, giving it whatever it wants whenever it wants it. I have control over my life, my body, and my future, I am not a slave to my reptile brain desires like some animal.
I'm not better than you, fat people. And you're not better than me. But my body outperforms yours in every way. My willpower is stronger. And I will live longer.
So I don't care if you think I have some unearned privilege. I earned the shit out of it. And the fact you don't have what I have is your own fault. If you want what I have, do the work that I do. No one is stopping you but yourself.
No, you're not a bad person because you're thin.
You are not shallow because your legs are long and lean. You are not fake because your hips are narrow. You are not a child because your bra size isn't a 36DD. You are not "one of those girls" because you wanted salad instead of soup. You do not have to eat 4 slices of pizza if you're already full from 2, just to prove that you eat. You are not protected from body shaming just because models are skinny too, you're allowed to get upset when someone accuses you of having an eating disorder. You're allowed to fight back when someone tells you to eat a cheeseburger. You want to wear high waisted shorts despite lacking a large round bottom? You wear them and you feel good. You laugh when people glare out of jealousy, you shine with an inner light of self love. Because even though you're not a supermodel and you aren't heavy enough to be part of the "real women have curves" parade, you are allowed to like yourself. You are REAL, you are POWERFUL, you have NOTHING TO PROVE.
On Body Image:
I am so sick of all of this “real women have curves” thin shaming crap in the face of fat-empowerment. REAL WOMEN DON’T ALL LOOK THE SAME! Literally the requirements for being a real woman are as follows: - Identify as a woman. Not all women even have vaginas and they are just as real as curvy women and thin women. We aren’t in sixth grade anymore. Saying that thin girls are ugly doesn’t make my fat self beautiful. It makes me a bitch. Body-shaming is a double edged sword and I think that instead of making it a competition (based on what MEN find attractive - as if their opinion defines us as women) we should be empowering each other to love our bodies however they come. Real women have bodies of all shapes and sizes. We shouldn’t put down or glorify any one body type because no woman should feel pressure to look like anyone other than herself. Love curves, love bones, love flat stomachs, love stretch marks, love A-cups, love F-cups, love yourself; whatever that means to you. Stop cutting each other down - let’s start appreciating all women and let’s start empowering each other to love the shape we’re in. /end of body image rant
I'm thin and proud...but why can't some people be bigger and proud?
Damn...why all the fighting between people? Fat Pride people dissing the skinny. Health nuts dissing plus sizes. Tumblr should be a place of acceptance but I find so much pointless hate going both ways.
I'm a proud fairly skinny person (pear shaped...) but I care about a lot of larger (and curvier ;D) people. Hell, both can be hot. Look at Queen Latifah and Kiera Knightly. They are both super attractive celebrities.
Why can't we all just love each others body sizes?
