During Spring Break 2012, I finally began to truly accept my beautiful body! It’s lumpy and full of cellulite and I LOVE it. Submitted by perhapsiamstrongerthanithink! Thank you!

Hi there. Could you or your followers share some advice for people who have gone years without buying bathing suits but who are now ready to "take the plunge"? I'm not even sure where to look for someone my size, much less what to look for. I'm in a group that has people of various larger sizes, some with breasts and some without, and we're nervous and uncertain about the whole thing.

@Anonymous

I don’t claim to be an authority on how to dress or how to fit clothing, so I did some brief research and found:

-A good video:http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-choose-plus-size-swimwear-2
-Some Oprah endorsed advice: http://www.oprah.com/style/How-to-Choose-the-Right-Swimsuit-for-Your-Body-Type-Find-a-Swimsuit
-A great website for plus size swimwear:http://www.swimsuitsforall.com/

I hope some of my followers can help.

Shared Story [T.W. self-harm, abuse, depression] hi. i’m Anda and this is me, and my body, and my scars (most of them are covered by my underwear though). i wish i could say that i love my body, but i don’t. i hate my body and everything about myself. i’ve been bullied for as long as i can remember. i have severe depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, i have attempted suicide several times, i self harm and i used to be anorexic, now i have EDNOS as a result of a failed recovery attempt. this is the first picture of my body that i have taken, and to be honest i can’t stand to look at it. every single time i end up in front of the mirror, i start to cry. i find curves attractive and beautiful, i just can not relate any of that to myself. i know i’m not that big, even though i see myself as huge. i’m a size 8/10 and the biggest i’ve ever been is a 14/16. but it’s not easy, to live in this skinny obsessed world when you’re bigger than a size 2. well yeah, i really didn’t want this submission to be about me drowning in a pool of self-pity, but it kind of is right now. anyway, the reason i submitted isn’t to cry about my condition. i want to try to recover, not for me as i’ve lost hope but for my amazing boyfriend, who saved me from myself countless times. i hate hurting him with my weakness. all i want is to hope, and to be happy.

hi. i’m Anda and this is me, and my body, and my scars (most of them are covered by my underwear though).

i wish i could say that i love my body, but i don’t. i hate my body and everything about myself. i’ve been bullied for as long as i can remember. i have severe depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, i have attempted suicide several times, i self harm and i used to be anorexic, now i have EDNOS as a result of a failed recovery attempt. this is the first picture of my body that i have taken, and to be honest i can’t stand to look at it. every single time i end up in front of the mirror, i start to cry. i find curves attractive and beautiful, i just can not relate any of that to myself.

Anonymous asked you: Ok so this site is called “Daily Fatspiration” so maybe I shouldn’t really be here. But I feel really, really bad right now. I am a size 2 and I have a BMI of 18.9. I don’t starve myself, that would be stupid. Today, a person that was ten sizes bigger came and yelled at me: “Eat a cheeseburger! Moronic-looking anorexic b*tch!” It hurts a LOT that people think that I have a mental disease, because I am NOT crazy! I don’t starve myself or purge! It was SO embarrassing! I even cried! What do I do??

  • Answer: Body shaming goes both ways. It’s terrible that some larger people (who are mostly the targets of body shaming themselves) often participate in the body shaming of others. That person was fucked up and had no right to tell you those things. Your body, weight, and what you eat is none of their fucking business. Body shaming activity shows a mark of discontent in the shamer’s life. You should feel sorry for them. Ignore these people. Only you know your body’s truth. And that should be enough.

Anonymous asked you: Just realised I reblogged you a million days in a row! Well almost…I do apologise, I didn’t mean to at all. You are such an awesome fat activism blog! :) I must pay more attention to reblogs in future. Lots of love from Fearless Fat

  • Answer: It’s totally cool! No need to apologize at all!
Anonymous asked you: Do you know any good websites to buy stockings or garter belts? I have pretty big thighs so I need ones that will fit.

This is for my people who have a tendency to view bodies in a negative light. Bodies, and different variations of body are natural and normal. The way we think about bodies has to change :)
