Dear body, You are not too fat nor are you too thin. You are perfectly shaped in the spitting image of flawless. Your boobs aren’t the biggest, or maybe they are too big, but either way they are not the most prominent quality of you. If boobs are all there is to a relationship, you wouldn’t want to be in one at all. Your butt is the perfect size - petite or big enough to write a song about - your butt is the perfect size. No bass could even compare to the musical set you have playing above your thighs. Your butt is a beautiful thing and if said otherwise, they can say it right to its charm. Your thighs can shut the world up. Your thighs gives your relatives a reason to walk and strut through the streets of the city and if they are slim, if they are not slim, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your thighs. Your stomach is proud to be full. Your stomach does not care if it overlaps the waistband of your jeans nor does it care that it pokes out under your sweatshirt. Your stomach likes to eat and that is beautiful. Your stomach is proud to be healthy. So dear body, please stop being sad about yourself because it’s making me frown too. There is not a flaw in the world that can attack your etherealness even if it had teeth and claws. You are a very beautiful thing and if no one else can see it but us, it can be our own little heart warming secret. Yours truly, Me

Nicki is GOD!!! FUCK YOU! She's shaming skinny girls because they're ugly!!! fat people are ALWAYS body shamed, skinny people aren't she's giving them a taste of their own fucking medicine.

Are you telling me that skinny shaming doesn’t exist? Are you kidding me? How uneducated can you get? I’ve been skinny shamed since I was nine years old.

  • Once in gym class I was in a xs pair of pants and shirt and it was still baggy on me, it’s hard for me to gain weight because of my heart condition and I regularly wore thick sweaters because I was uncomfortable in my body. Anyway, I just finished getting changed and this boy saw me walk out of the change room and go “Ew she’s so skinny, she’s probably anorexic.” the whole classroom spread rumors I was anorexic they bullied me so bad I had to leave school for a few months.
  • I once went to a wedding and I was a bit older and I gained a bit more weight but you could still see a fair amount of bone, in the middle of the wedding while everyone was drunk a woman came up to my mom and bitched at her about how she “doesn’t feed me” and I’m going to die of starvation, the lady later sat me down and forced me to eat. It’s not my fault I can’t gain weight.
  •  I got my first boyfriend in grade 9 and I was so excited, we ended up making out (on top of each other) and he told all of his buddies about it and their replies were “isn’t she too thin? i bet her bones were sticking out the whole time.” he later dumped me for another girl because I was too thin.
  • I saw a post on facebook that said “Real men like curves, bones are for dogs.” or something along the lines of that, I quickly stated men can like either one it’s their choice it doesn’t determine their “realness” and a girl replied to me with “You’re just a dumb skinny bitch who doesn’t know how to eat, sorry but you’ll never get any boys, hun. Don’t be jealous.”

These are just some events in my life that involved skinny shaming. Body shaming in general shouldn’t happen. It’s not right to defend one body type by putting another one down. That’s just my opinion.

It is fucking weird and disgusting that people think it’s okay to shame and humiliate and dehumanize someone just because they don’t personally find them attractive. No one is saying you have to be attracted to every single body, we are just saying you shouldn’t exclusively be nice to people you find attractive. You shouldn’t have to want to fuck someone to treat them like a human being.

Respect to my thick girls

Every type of thick girl. My girls who are not fat in the “right” places. My girls with muffin tops. My girls with bigger tops and smaller bottoms, or smaller tops and bigger bottoms. My girls with big tummies and big arms. My girls with rolls and stretch marks.

Every girl is beautiful and every girl deserves respect regardless of what body type she has. Every girl deserves to feel beautiful.

A plus sized girl finding genuine love for herself is not just some inspirational story.

It’s not “omg that poor fat girl can somehow love herself even with her burden of fatness”.

Please stop talking about fat women like their bodies are a tragedy and it’s so inspirational for them to be able to love their “horrible” body. Their bodies are beautiful. Every body is beautiful. No body is a tragedy.

It’s okay to have fat and not feel confident about it.

It’s okay to have stretch marks and not feel comfortable with them.

It’s okay to have cellulite and dislike it.

Self confidence is hard and no one just woke up one day and fully loved themselves. It’s a journey and don’t let anyone shame you for being on that journey.
