#big sister karfy is here to tell you that you are beautiful no matter your size

[kaaaaaaarf]

i don’t know when fat became a ‘mean’ term, people now say plus sized

Some people say plus sized, some people say fat. Neither is wrong, per sey. I think what's important is to remember that some people are very triggered by being called fat because of the environments they grew up in or the way they have been treated for committing the crime of not being a size 0. Fat as a word has been turned against us for a long time—the diet industrial complex I was brought up in being a huge factor in society's view of the word.

I have had many years on this earth to come to terms with the fact that I am fat and I will never be thin, and that's okay! It's more than okay. I'm happy with how my body looks.

When I was 20 I read a book called The Fat Girl's Guide To Life by Wendy Shanker and it was literally the first time I was introduced to the idea that fat is beautiful and that fat is just a word—it's a word that has been used to hurt me in the past, but it's not a word that hurts me anymore. I'm fat and I am fucking gorgeous. ✌🏼
