Reclaiming the word fat was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth, because the truth is that I am fat, and that’s ok. So now when someone calls me fat, I agree, whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.

Rebel Wilson is an Australian actor and comedian. I love Rebel’s presence in the media. Hopefully, she’ll have roles in the future where her character’s identity isn’t constructed around her fatness. She’s extremely talented and beautiful. 

Hi,

I’m sorry that I’ve been inactive for a few months. Starting today, I’ll be posting at least once a day. I have 105 messages in my inbox and I’ll be clearing those out before I begin posting fatspirations. Thank you for your continued support.

Love,

Ashley/DailyFatspiration.

I hear so many people say they are too fat to be feminine/masculine/androgynous etc. Fatness does not invalidate any of those things.

I just know that I was tired. I was tired of thinking less of myself because others did. People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.

Stephen Fry is my personal fatspiration. He’s clever and funny, and he wears awesome suits.

It’s your body. Loving it is no one else’s business.

Unless you WANT to but as I always say, you should never feel as if you HAVE to.

Beth Ditto. A personal fatspiration of mine. Because of this babe, I have learned to not let what others think of my body stop me from loving myself or doing what I want to.
