Finding Body Peace

These people won an Emmy for making Colin Farrell look fat. If it's so important that the Penguin be fat, why not hire a fat actor? This disgusts me. I'm a comic book show/movie fan, but I refuse to watch this.

This this this!! What answer will you get when you truly ask yourself: Are the things I'm trying to achieve with my body about health, or aesthetics?

When you extract yourself from diet and anti-aging culture, you'll be amazed at how much time and energy you have to care about things that actually matter!

Are you giving yourself enough energy? If you’re restricting food or on a diet (or engaging in a “lifestyle change”), the answer is: probably not.

This is what happens when you only consume media of thin bodies—your understanding of what bodies look like becoms extremely skewed. (Not to mention, this is the kind of comment you feel proud to post when you’re very unhappy and base your worth on your small body size.)

When I hear the term "food noise," I don't think, "I can't stop thinking about food." (Thinking about food is normal.) Instead, I think about "all the nonsense we are taught to believe about food." Follow The Nutrition Tea for great content like this!

Body acceptance is a journey. Some days are easier than others. Take the photos, live your best life!

I hate this photo of me.
Stop. Right. There.
I’m not saying that for sympathy. Please don’t hit me with the “but you’re beautiful” comments—because I am beautiful. I know I am.

But sometimes even people who say “wear the swimsuit, take the picture, live your life” find themselves looking at a photo and thinking… “yeah, no.”
This doesn’t look like how I feel I look. But it’s me. I know it’s me. I just don’t love it.
And that’s allowed.

There are so many photos, videos, and screenshots of me that I don’t love. Some are downright unflattering. I’ve lost count.
And people always ask—how are you so confident?

Here’s the truth:
Confidence doesn’t come from only seeing your best angles.
It comes from also seeing the “bad” ones, the weird ones, the ones you didn’t pose for—and not flinching.
Not deleting them right away.
Looking at them.
Then looking in the mirror and reminding yourself:
It’s all you. And you are so much more than one photo.

You’re not a 2D image.
You are a whole person.
A person worth loving in every frame—even the ones you don’t like.

I’m guessing because I’m fat, people who are actively losing weight often feel compelled—SUPER compelled—to try to talk to me about it. Some days I’m patient and explain why I don’t engage in those conversations. A lot of the time, I have to be very blunt about it, because they won’t let it go.
