I am enough. Like it or not. I don’t “promote obesity” I promote loving yourself regardless of your exterior. Sometimes people are so busy focused on the fact that I am “fat, curvy, plus size” that they don’t even listen to what I am saying. I also get people who say I am “fake” or that I don’t live what I preach & to those I say KISS my bootay. I have stepped out of my comfort zone so much in the past years while I discover who I am & find my confidence. The ones pointing the fingers probably wouldnt dare do half of the things I have done. However even though they are so quick to judge me or make assumptions, I keep doing ME in hopes that one day they will realize that they can love the skin they are in without feeling the need to tear others down. I never claimed to have all the answers or be the Mother Teresa of the body positive movement, but I do know that life is so much better when you embrace who you are & stop caring what everyone around you is doing. #effyourbeautystandards

“

The world is not full of Attractive People and Unattractive People. It’s full of people who are attractive to some and not to others. I hear from trolls all the time who complain that they don’t want to be “forced” to find nasty, ugly fat women attractive–which utterly baffles me, since the last thing I want to do is encourage fat-hating dicks to date fat women. You don’t find fat people attractive? Fabulous. Don’t date them. I will find a way to pick myself up and move on without your love. But to assume your lack of sexual interest in fat chicks must be universal–or that the mere existence of self-confident fat people having healthy relationships somehow “forces” you to find fat attractive–is the height of fucking narcissism.

— Kate Harding (via bunnicula)

(similarly there is no such thing as being “good at sex”, you’re good at learning, adapting, and communicating, because there isn’t a fucking gold standard of sexual behaviour that works for everyone)

I continue to be baffled at just how difficult this idea seems to so many people. I am so not interested in trying to force you to find me attractive, so can you please all just move on ?

I need feminism because I am tired of having my body fetishized by ‘chubby chasers’ or loathed by sexual materialists who believe a woman’s worth is dependent on her aesthetic conformity to an externally determined standard.

I am fat.

fat-feminist:

It is NOT synonymous with:

Ugly

Unhealthy

Easy

Disgusting

Lazy

Stupid

Undisciplined

Slow

Hungry

Lonely

I am fat. I am you, assumption maker, only bigger. Figuratively. Literally. In mass, in cells, in my mind.

✿ CHUBBY BUNNIES ✿: Welp. Time to clear the air/ my blog again.

chubby-bunnies:

After having a lovely break from the world of tumblr for a week, I have come back to a storm again.

Some loves have linked me to a post about bloggers who are racist, ableist and that should “go away”. Chubby Bunnies is on that list for being ableist.

I couldn’t for the life of my think as to…

I was really surprised to Chubby Bunnies on that list, so hopefully this has cleared things up. We all make mistakes, and being called on it can be painful but it’s also a thing to be grateful for. Putting my hands up now and saying - if I screw up, call me out on it. Thank you.
