Here we realize that the messages that are being sent every day create a whole lot of Size Issues. And other issues. Editorials, articles, commercials and even our own communities tell us things about acceptable body diversity every day. We like to celebrate when these things are broken down, and the way we can celebrate ourselves.
And of course, people are welcome to submit!
Why dose being big have to be something totally separate, why cant clothing lines just make clothes for big girls and boys. why dose there have to be a revolution to get the word across. we are people to just because we are bigger dose not mean we don’t deserve to be happy and look pretty. i mean come on being skinny is not the norm anymore people :) love everyone on here<3
Editor’s response/ramble:
I definitely agree! While I think that plus size lines are great, it would be nice if everyone could just shop universally and there wasn’t any bias or segregation. Skinny or chubby. I don’t think there IS such a thing as normal - there are just lots of different sizes and shapes and it would be nice if we were all represented and included no matter our gender (or lack thereof) or size, and didn’t have to struggle to clothe ourselves.
PS: Submissions are awesome! Thanks for writing in! <33

i’m trying!
All we can do is try! Yesterday was not a good day for me. Today I’m okay, not great but okay.
I think it’s good to admit when you’re not perfectly happy with yourself - I think it makes you a real person and for that matter it makes size acceptance a lot less terrifying to admit that the advocates of it are, you know, human - but at the same time I find it’s good to speak positively about your body even when you don’t like it.
Power of positive thinking, cognitive training, dress for the job you want, etc etc etc. Forcing yourself to go “you know, I don’t like myself today, and I’m not feeling good about myself and it sucks, but it also doesn’t mean there is anything actually wrong with my body.”
Or at very least, starting with not using words that should be neutral to mean bad things. For example, my wife called me on calling myself fat in a negative way the other day. (“It’s just that my stomach feels so bloated and disproportionate!” “So say you feel bloated, or that you’re not feeling happy, not that you feel fat. There’s nothing wrong with being fat.”) You might not be happy with yourself, but it’s totally fair to say “I don’t like the way I look right now” or “I’m feeling depressed about my body today”, whereas “I suck for not losing weight/having frizzy hair/having scars/whatever” is a judgement on your body (and by extension the bodies of others).
