2. Speaking as a (latina) woman who has always been curvey (read: huge boobs), i get annoyed when women are all FAT IS BEAUTIFUL. You know what’s ugly? A fucking heart attack. You know whats not sexy? Being short of breath after a few flights of stairs. Being healthy is what’s important. Being strong. That might not necessarily mean looking like a supermodel, but i dont know that celebrating fat people is the right answer either.
(Having said that my starvation diet is working! I lost another 5 lbs!)
I’m confused. Did I say that being morbidly obese is a good thing or that “fat” is necessarily “beautiful”? I was saying that worrying about “fatness” is ultimately a waste of time and was just saying that no matter WHAT our weight is, there will be people who say that is “fat.”
The real issue is not how “fat” we are; the issue is that misogynists will always critique our bodies or find something “wrong” so we don’t, you know, have productive lives.
Hi. I’m fat. Not “curvy” or “shapely” or whatever word you want to throw out there to mean “not rail thin”. I. Am. Fat. I am so fucking sick of assholes on Tumblr and their fat hate. You don’t think my fat is beautiful? That’s fine. But give me a fucking break thinking that FAT = Going to die in 5 minutes and Skinny = Totally in shape and awesome. FUCK THAT SHIT. I am out of shape as hell but I do not have diabetes, high blood pressure, OR high cholesterol. I am fat and I am happy. I like food. Food is delicious and GOOD. I’m lazy. I joined a gym last year and I stopped going because I was too lazy and honestly, too self-concious because of all the fat haters in the world. So I said fuck it. But I’m not some sad fat girl crying and eating her feelings. So don’t celebrate me. I don’t give a fuck. I’ve got my sneaks, my iPhone and my sweet ass gadgets and shit, my friends and fuck everyone else.
