I think we need to be careful with reblogging this kind of thing.
I get the appeal.
It’s SO NICE to finally hear someone who we all so respect being comfortable in her own skin. It’s so good to have role models who are fat, deliberately and honestly and openly fat with no intention of ever becoming thin.
But if we don’t want people bashing our body type, we need to make sure that we’re not bashing the body types of others.
Some girls are naturally thin and well-endowed. Not because they have some twisted idea of what a girl should look like. Not because they’re starving themselves. Not because they hate fat people. Just because they’re thin.
And some girls choose to be thin, and choose to implement diet and exercise regimens to achieve thinness, not because of social pressure but because they genuinely enjoy those foods or that exercise. Because they genuinely feel good about themselves when they’re thin, the same way you or I feel good about ourselves when we’re fat.
All body types are okay. What matters isn’t how big or small you are. What matters is self-love.
I know we all want to support self-love for us fatties, and that’s awesome.
But let’s support self-love for people of all shapes and sizes.
