So much arms and I’m still looking good! (Still learning to love them and since I’m buying a fatkini I gotta learn quick! )
Old Speckled Hen: Hyper-visibility in the city
I walked to the office this morning, noticing how much I did not fit in with the neutral clothes and stoic faces around me. But I know the stares I receive are not from my clothing. And my choice to wear bright pink leggings is one related to the fact that 1. I do what I want and 2. I’m utilizing the inherent hyper-visibility that comes with being super tall and super fat. And I’m taking power from it, rather thank shrinking away from it. So let them stare. I’m ready.

Yeah, I’ll say it - this universal call to action for women of the world to “love themselves” is overrated.
Strive for self contentment, be kind to yourself, be critical of media, remain vigilant in seeking empowerment and positivity when you can, form a relationship with your body, live well by your own standards, and by all means - love yourself, if that is within your grasp.
But if you can not find self love, for whatever reason and however long, know that you are not part of the problem.
You have been affected.
Unlearning the hate is hard work, but once we learn how to dismantle the inner-workings of a society and culture that permeates and surrounds our very existence, we can stand a chance of knocking it down.
In the meantime, don’t force it - stop blaming yourself for not “loving your body” enough.
You can not possibly be at fault, when the oppressive culture we live in is the main offender.

This is a fairly major step in my ongoing process of loving myself. Every day I feel a little bit better about my rolls of fat and I just love this tattoo so much I think it’s really going to help. I just got it done today so it’s a bit swollen and red still. :)

My name’s Laura and I’m a fat girl from South Texas! This is a photo that my sister took of me after a water balloon fight at the park with our friends. I had so much fun that day! A few years ago, I wouldn’t be caught dead in shorts or somewhat form fitting shirts or even colorful clothing. Looking back at this picture, I see how much I’ve grown and I love it :)
taking yourself seriously all the time is exhausting. and yeah - i have cellulite on my dumps like a truck. it happens. beating yourself up over it does no good for anyone…and plus, it’s a part of me. and i dig me.

I feel like my life is the perfect example of not listening to “your haters”. They said I was ugly, “look at her with that big ass gap”, you’re too dark, too fat, and nobody likes you. I could have hid in the corner my whole life. I almost died, thinking my life wasn’t worth living. I think I hurt myself more than their words could have, because I hated to believe they were right. I couldn’t believe after all I’ve done to end my life, God saw fit to keep me here. I was meant for something bigger than their words. I was destined for something much stronger than pain. I don’t know what it is just fyet. Nevertheless, I do know… that no matter how they feel about me… I look in the mirror everyday and think to myself “They can’t tell me shit!”
