I received this question in my ask, and wanted to post it here as a reminder. Why is it that despite the fact that we have almost identical body types I think yours is smoking and mine is gross? I would look almost exactly like you in that dress and would see pictures and feel awful, but when I look at you I only see amazingness. I need to get my head on straight. Well this is a tough thing, because it is such a personal journey. My road to body acceptance has taken a long long time and I totally understand how easy it is to fall into not liking yourself. But I hope that you’ll find inspiration in my body love and the other fat bloggers who are just happy in their own bodies. Use that to every day renegotiate with yourself and how you approach your body. Here are some other things that have helped me over the years: Don’t equate fat with bad (it is a descriptor like “tall” or “curly haired”). Don’t call other people fat as an insult. Start hanging out with other awesome fatties. Don’t date people who insult your looks and work on dating people who are also body positive. Get rid of your scale. Stop dieting. Wear clothes that make you feel badass. Stomp down the street like it is a catwalk. Get into some body-positive therapy. Love you. Really, that’s all you gotta do, is love you.
