#fat positivity

Saw the Misa image and immediately thought ot this.

If you don't know, I'm moking "plus size" clothing stores that only desing clothes for older fat women. I always struggled with that growing up because plus sized clothes was never stylish for younger women (and especially not to teens). No shade to the actress or to the people who love this style.

it's okay to be fat and like to eat. it's okay to be fat and enjoy cooking, baking, grilling, canning, drying or preparing foods. it's okay to be fat and work a restaurant or bakery and enjoy what you do. it's okay to be fat and not ashamed of eating in public. it's okay to be fat, but it's especially okay to be fat and have a positive relationship with food. people are supposed to enjoy eating, it's where we get our energy from, it's a very positive and nourishing experience for our bodies, it's okay if it's positive and nourishing to your mental health, too. fat people are allowed to eat, and we're allowed to enjoy doing it, too.

if you reblog any of my posts about men in crop tops or short shorts and youre like "ill do this when im skinny," i need you to take my hand. sweet summer child, listen to me. you do not have to be skinny to show skin. please be fat and show skin. you deserve to wear what you want to wear, and to be cool in the heat. you do not have to punish yourself for being fat.

im not going to lie- some people will judge you. sometimes you will see or hear them judging you. you have to be able to move on. you are not living your life for them. pleasing them by sweating to death is not going to help you, and it's not going to appease fatphobic assholes. you do not need to make yourself small for them.

there are, on the other hand, also a plethora of people who are going to find you smokin hot, and others who will be inspired by your bravery- whether or not *you* feel brave- and it will make them brave too. there will be fat children who see you and realize they too can have all the autonomy and free will skinny people do. please dont hide yourself.

love yourself in spite of it

the way you exist is amazing

i've been so wonderfully inspired and warmed and healed by all the recent positivity here on tumblr toward soft bodies and rolling curves and glorious stretchmarks and squishy tummies that i wanted to try my hand at drawing the lovely Ms. Fell as a soft, rosy pin-up 🩷🪽

perhaps she's taking some boudoir photos for a demon she knows... maybe she just wants to indulge herself a little. either way - what bliss!

tagging @ineffable-rohese as their post the other day really kicked my inspiration into overdrive, so thank you tons for sharing your lovely words 💕 also tagging @ineffabildaddy and @foolishlovers as always for being my sweet angels

This year we're not doing weight loss resolutions. No new fad diets or miracle workout programs, no magic pills, and definitely no bariatric surgeries. This year we're listening to our bodies, and more importantly we're loving our bodies. We do not need to be smaller to be worthy of that.

It’s 2am, I’m bored, and I think it’s about time this community had our own flag god dammit

This is my first draft of a fat liberation pride flag. (made in canva) 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?

you don't have to apologize for taking up space if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for your appearance if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for your fashion choices if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for eating if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for sitting instead of standing if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for being disabled if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for needing mobility aids if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for needing support if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for being trans if you're fat. you don't have to apologize for being queer if you're fat.

you don't have to apologize for being fat.

fat people are guilted out of just about every experience in life. we're told we're too unsightly to dress and look how we want. queer fat people are made to feel like they can never be their given identity because the scant representation of queer folk that we have always shows a skinny or buff person, never any other kind of body in between. fat people are shamed out of becoming singers because of our appearance. fat people are shamed out of becoming actors because of our appeareance. fat people are shamed out of being chefs because we're fat. fat people are shamed out of sports and athletic activities because we're fat. it's often times difficult to impossible to find a fat role model because we are shamed out of thriving and reaching toward our goals.

you don't have to apologize. you don't have to feel like you "can't" do something because you're fat. if you are disabled, please consider and know your limitations, but being fat does not bar you from hobbies or careers that you want to participate in. fat people can dance, sing, do yoga, body build, cook, run, play sports, act, perform on stage, create art, become models and yes, even find sexual liberation in their fatness. fat people are allowed to be fat without apologizing for it. fat people are allowed to be fat.

we're taking up space and we're not apologizing for it anymore. we are not here solely to appeal to the sexual and aesthetic tastes of thin and "fit" people. we are here to live our lives.

i dont know why this is such a foreign concept to people but you CAN actually have a fat character without them being slovenly, overly insecure, or the butt of every joke (self-deprecating or otherwise).

[frickfatphobes]

please, please create fat characters who are good.

who are strong, who are fast, who are desirable, who are hard workers, who aren't obsessed with food, who aren't stupid, who aren't villains, who get a happy ending.

create fat characters who are as amazing as the fat people you know and love in real life. representation in media does matter.
