I am so glad you feel so much self love and empowerment, first of all, and that your newfound happiness also leads to success, but I have to say this;
You are not fat.
You are the slightest bit plump, healthy-looking, but not fat.
When you call your tiny, little self, fat, I believe it shows that you are still caught up in society’s
Idea of beauty. You are also perpetuating that standard of beauty.
I am fat. I weigh 200 lbs at 5 ft 4 inches tall. I don’t fit in any of the clothing in your store, so I can’t shop there and be supportive of your wonderful business.
I am fat. I cannot fit in clothing in most stores at the mall.
I am fat, my daughter can’t share a chair with me.
I am fat. When I eat in public, people stare at me with looks of disgust, not even trying to hide it. I am fat.
My breasts are larger than most people’s heads. My belly is so large people wonder if I might be pregnant.
I am fat. I can’t paint my own toenails because my belly is in the way.
I am fat and my body is still beautiful.
I am fat, and when you refer to yourself as fat, I don’t think you are being supportive of women who are actually fat.
Your idea of your “fatness” makes me feel less validated in loving myself in the full glory of my “fatness”.
Maybe that is my issue, I can own that, but if it’s my issue, brought on by societal beauty standards, I’m sure other large and lovely ladies share my stance on this one.
