there’s nothing like the smell of acrylic to accompany the sound of a rainstorm. They blend together to form a sort of divine inspiration.
I’m 18 and I’ve always been fat. Sometimes I hate myself and sometimes I love myself. Recently it has been the worse of the two, eating only once a day, but hopefully sometime soon I can finally get over it and start loving myself again.
Just work out a lot and I don’t mean rigorous running schedules, I mean walk instead of drive take you pets for walk (if you have any).
OR
Apples with peanut butter instead of chips. The little things add up. Get as much excersise in your day as possible.
I saw this reblog last night, but I didn’t have the energy to write what I really thought about it. I’m going to use this reblog as an example of shit that fat people deal with all the damn time.
So the original poster (OP) states that she is fat, that she has always been fat, and that she struggles with loving her body. I’m sure more than a few of my followers can relate. Then the reblogger (RB) steps in with what she thinks is helpful advice. Exercise and eat right.
Here’s my problem: RB’s advice? It sucks. It sucks big time.
People - friends, family members, strangers on the internet - have the best of intentions when they offer this ‘Exercise and eat right’ advice to fatties. The thing is that this implies that the fatty in question doesn’t know how to take care of their own body. Walk more? Eat apple and peanut butter (which sounds like the most revolting food combo ever to me, but I digress) instead of chips? This assumes that OP is largely sedentary and stuffs her face with junk food. It’s presumptuous and I find it quite rude. When a person identifies as fat, they are using the word as an adjective - the word does not describe their eating or exercise habits.
It also assumes that OP will only love her body if she loses weight through exercise and eating right. To begin with, if OP has been fat her whole life, like she says, then exercise and eating right is unlikely to have any impact on her body shape. It’s quite probable that this body is the body that she is meant to have. More importantly, OP should not feel compelled to change herself before she is worthy of her own love.
If someone comes out and says that they struggle with body image, don’t tell them how to lose weight. At best it’s patronising; at worst it’s offensive. Instead, tell them they’re perfect now, just as they are. Tell them until they believe it.
