Fat is fabulous! Everyone has good days and bad days, but you need bad ones to fully appreciate the good ones. :) It can be really tough to live in a world where everyone tells you you’re not the “ideal” girl or whatever, but for me it was so liberating to just accept myself fully and decide that I actually don’t care what people think. I’ve been fat my whole life, and I can say I’m a happy person because I don’t let other people or their narrowed ideas about beauty phase me. I am big, beautiful, brave and fierce, and you all are too. Don’t forget that!
