#Body Positivity Movement

[fatliberation]

Get pins, stickers, shirts, and more! 🐋

This is my first draft of a fat liberation pride flag. The four shades of blue stripes represent the four categories of fatness, with infinifat first. The grey background is a nod to the grey in the disability pride flag, which represents the mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse. I included this because our movements are intertwined. The orca symbol represents power, community, majesty, resilience, and most of all, the struggle for liberation.

And isn’t it punk as fuck to embrace the whale label by intentionally using the killer whale?

It's so frustrating that every time I talk about my body image issues with my weight and stuff, everyone's first response is to talk about how I can lose weight.

Yes, I want to lose weight and I do need some help with it, but it's painful that that's the very first thing that they go to, you know?

It makes me feel like I'm gross for being overweight and that it makes me lesser of a person.

I just want someone to reassure me that there is nothing wrong with me and that I'm not ugly or gross or lazy.

When people jump right to "this is how you can lose the weight" it just makes my body image issues worse.

My whole life I have been trying to tell myself that it's okay that I'm overweight because since I couldn't lose the weight I needed a coping mechanism to feel okay as I was/am in the moment and not hate myself for what I look like right now. But I always just feel like I'm lying to myself because everyone continues to act like there is something wrong with me if I'm overweight.

Yes, I want to get smaller and healthier, but right now I just really want someone to tell me that who I am right now isn't bad. But no one ever does.

I just have to keep feeling ashamed of my weight and keep thinking I look ugly and keep hating myself and thinking that I won't have value as a human being until I lose the weight.

Y’all this cause I just need to get it off my chest but I have beef with the body positivity movement

TW for eating disorder mention

Gonna start this off with something

Fat people deserve accommodations, respect, and to love and feel beautiful in there own skin. This has nothing to do with people who are simply fat. This is about a specific subset of people who fall under this specific pattern of vile behavior regardless of body type.

I have noticed and INCREDIBLY fucked trend involving people’s perception of food, dieting, and the idea of eating healthy, that seems incredibly detrimental.

And please please please correct me if I’m wrong but like the idea of intuitive eating seems super super detrimental. Like from my understanding of it, it seems like (in most cases) it involves eating “junk food” on mass such as fast food, dessert ect whenever someone feels like it. Which regardless of its effect of weight or body type, could lead to health complications, heart problems, and type 2 diabetes. Like with enough excess of things like this without proper vitamins or nutrients can lead to heart attacks or stroke in extreme cases. Elementary school food groups, yall need your veggies, protein, carbs ect. Eating only 1 of these food groups and ignoring the others is bad regardless of weight.

and on the other hand, the idea of people comparing weight loss at all, or like standard dieting to eating disorders or anorexia is fucking disgusting. Choosing to eat slightly smaller portions, changing the kinds to food you eat on the regular, intermittent fasting ect is not the same as anorexia. The fact that people are comparing it to anorexia is horrible and invalidates so so so many people’s experiences and can take away meaning from the term almost to the point of nullifying it if someone isn’t careful.

someone choosing to lose weight as just a personal choice, and doing it by exercising more, choosing to eat different foods, or reducing portions (to a healthy and sustainable amount) so they can be happier, is NOT A FUCKIBG EATING DISORDER.

I have had experiences with eating disorders, I’ve have a family member who has needed to be hospitalized and almost died because of an eating disorder

and let me make this VERY clear. Anyone can be struggling with anorexia regardless of weight, and if that is you, I truly wish that you are able to get the help you need

but exercising is healthy and if you are able too, should be done, and it’s not just about losing weight, it’s about keeping you mental health in check. Exercising regularly has way more benefits than a “healthy body type”

Choosing to limit the fast food you eat and replacing it with a salad or a home cooked meal IS NOT AN EATING DISORDER. It is getting your body the nutrients and vitamins it needs to be healthy.

if you are happy at your body weight… that’s incredible! You deserve to be healthy and happy regardless of your weight. If you aren’t… healthy sustainable and consistent exercise and a healthy (but different kind of) food take are great too!

TLDR: comparing dieting to EDs is vile and people who do it are rancid and need to look in the mirror and have a heart to heart about how they view themselves and others. And healthy exercise and healthy food should be a part of your daily routine, not for your body wait, but for your overall health.

thank you

(If I got anything wrong or I have information I should know Ect please please please tell me I don’t want to be misinformed. Be nice tho)

little note to the people who have "failed at life"

no you havent. you absolutely have not. idfc if u never had a romantic relationship despite being x years old or failed your education or never had friends or always have been called ugly/fat etc. etc. you did not fail. you are still worthy as much as any other person and your happiness and your life is still at the hands of yourself > meaning yes, people may judge x, y or z but you know what? individuality means doing the things or being the things regardless of what anyone thinks. and you can set the precedence for other people loving themselves and achieving their life happiness even tho it doesnt fit "society's standards". you can be an inspiration for someone else. and once you accepted and decided not to care about negative, useless comments people give you can be free and healthy like a bird.

you may have never done x because you need more time or support or were in a bad situation and you fucking know what??? THATS OKAY. if u want to have/do x then you can take the steps to do them. if you dont then thats okay.

people may always make negative comments but that doesnt automatically equate to unhappiness.

find people who appreciate and accept you and develop and do the things that make u happy :)

Body Positivity Movementとは

Body Positivity Movement（ボディポジティブムーブメント）は、あらゆる体型、形、肌の色、性別、身体能力を受け入れ、現代の美の基準に挑戦する社会運動です。

Body Positivity Movement（ボディポジティブムーブメント）は、1960年代後半のファット・アクセプタンス（脂肪受容）運動に端を発します。 1969年、肥満体型に対する差別をなくすことに焦点を当てた全米脂肪受容推進協会（NAAFA）が設立されました。

また、カリフォルニアでは、ファット・アンダーグラウンド（the Fat Underground）というグループが結成され、1973年までに「脂肪宣言」を発表しました。

「ボディポジティブ」という言葉自体は、1996年に心理療法士のエリザベス・スコットと摂食��害の治療経験者コニー・ソブザックが、The Body Positiveを設立し、thebodypositive.orgというウェブサイトを立ち上げたときに生まれました。

このように、ボディポジティブムーブメントは、肥満体型に対する差別をなくすことから始まり、やがて自分の体型を前向きに受け入れることを促す運動へと発展していきました。

Fun Fact: my biggest insecurity is my acne

[dykedvonte]

I hate the stretch lines in the front of Curly's uniform because that means the devs rushed to make a model in like a month or so and thought "They gotta at least know he has huge knockers, gotta know he's got back pain." Cause like what is the thematic importance of his tits having overhang?

What responsibility is that representing? Breast reduction? It shows an inherent greed in his character due to the excess and heshouldletmeholdone and that he clearly is blinded cause if he tries to look down his damn ladder all he's seeing is his own cleavage.

The leg on the counter? Yeah why not💁🏽‍♂️

[cosmoticcousins]

i have decided to go on a hiatus (i may come back, may not, may be active 5 times a day or never ever at all). but im focusing on myself now and hopefully life and things and everything will turn out positive...

if i dont work on myself i know i will lose people and potentially lose opportunities to have new people in my life and i dont want that. hatred and pity and shame and etc etc will only make me more hollow inside and if there is a chance i can be filled with happiness and love instead i will fight for that.

knowing & nurturing your self-worth regardless of what others think will lead to freedom, health and happiness.

i will make mistakes. i know i will but thats because im human. promising a fantasy that i will be from now on perfect or always moral or always good is not only harmful to others but to myself as well because i wont live up to that. but no one can really. the only thing i can do is to show myself self-love and remind myself of the whys. why should i behave this way? why shouldnt i say this?

im working on building a life that i can call "home" (if that makes any sense)

This is your (not) daily reminder that it's OK to be cringe

Why waste your life trying to fit into a vary close minded space of what is normal

Be yourself

Die knowing you were free

if it doesn't hurt anyone:there is no harm done

Also,everything is cringe according to cringe culture

Preppy,scene,art,memes,furries,emo,BEING HAPPY

Everything you do will be cringe to someone

And that's ok because at least your happer than them

They start screaming when someone uses pup/pupself pronouns while you're living life

Just be yourself.

Use 500 pronouns,wear cat ears and cat tails in public,bring your essa everywhere you go,have a rare identity (fictosexual,intersex,etc)

Or dont

Use he/him,wear "bland" t-shirts and shorts,be vary mature,be straight

Be the type of person that a kid looks up to

Be what makes you happy

Wake up knowing you are your own person

Also here's a drawing to go with it

This drawing is so ugly,im sorry lmaoo

Besties it may be so fucking over. I think I might literally unironically have covid.

Which is. So unbelievably Stupid. For the entire duration of its existence I managed to avoid it. I was gonna get my updated vaccine at the end of the month. I go to a concert (one of many for the fucking record) and I am masking for the majority of it. I get fucked up by a crowd surfer I almost lose a piercing (bloody but healed okay, was only a bit crusty the day after). Maybe it wasn't the wisest decision to put it right back in but like bitch???????????? What else was I gonna do?????? I mean. Maybe if I were smarter I would have just waited til I got home to fully sanitize it. It did happen during the last set. But like are you kidding me do you think I'm thinking anything other than "Oh shit I almost lost a piercing and it would be a pain in the ass to replace it and I don't wanna risk my hole closing up". In all fairness I think I'm allowed to be a bit stupid there.

Anyways my symptoms haven't been cold like or flu like and they feel exactly like what I experienced when I got the vaccine way back when. Headaches, muscle aches, loss of taste, difficulty breathing even just with. A sports bra. I kinda stopped binding a while ago bc of the strain. It may be so fucking over for me. Literally get top surgery or just fucking die. Have to figure out what's up here first though, gonna call my doctor about it. 🧍
