someday. . .MAYBE someday, there'll be a movie with a fat central character that doesn't revolve around the fact that they're fat. Until then, I'll keep looking. My Mad Fat Diaries is decent though (not a movie, a miniseries, you can youtube it!)

As much as I think there's WAY bigger issues facing us LGBTQ folks, this is definitely a positive step. Take the time to celebrate, but remember we have a lot more work to do!

I have a picture of an alot in my kitchen.

pay my way through school so i can get my masters. make sure my mom's set for life see my boyfriend a whole lot more (he's in the UK, I'm in the US) invest travel travel travel create some kind of body image workshop to help young girls combat the way media makes them hate their bodies.

best: going to the beach every day i possibly can! worst: not having a/c :(

maybe you could actually click the bottom of the post where all the references are clearly listed for you. like the 61 references in part 1 alone. man, and they say fat people are the lazy ones.

I'll never stop thinking it's utterly hilarious that people are so convinced that 'obesity is a choice!' and 'eat less exercise more, the weight will come off!' is valid. i'm also convinced that most people who think this way have never dealt with being fat (not chubby or a couple extra pounds, i mean FAT.) the stigma and…

I went on a date with a guy to a nice-ish (i.e., not Olive Garden-esque) Italian restaurant. He ordered chocolate milk, and he blew bubbles in it. Non-ironically.

depends on the dude and the beard.

I will never understand why everyone is so obsessed with Johnny Depp. The past decade or more he plays literally the SAME EXACT CHARACTER in every single movie. A freaky/creepy/pale/overly made up/crazy haired dude, and oh look, Helena Bonham Carter's probably somewhere in the film too! But since he's ~omg sew hawt~ it's…

again, this doesn't even make sense. ok, so say if you don't work, you get free/cheap healthcare. big whoop. there are still things to pay for in life besides health care. you know, it's nice to have a place to live, a car to drive, food to eat, an internet connection, a social life, (i could go on?) free healthcare is…

how you managed to get 'don't bother working or being productive' out of the statement that healthcare should be a human right boggles my mind. but, you know what they say about assumptions.

healthcare should be a human right. period, end of story.

being called fat only hurts because you let it. you see being fat as something negative, as something bad. that's why it hurts. fat is just a word, just a simple descriptor. i'd rather be fat than a bevy of other things (selfish, rude, arrogant, mean, etc. etc. etc.)

As someone who works in healthcare, I regularly see nurses/nursing assistants pulling 16 hour shifts 6 days a week, and that's normal for them. Healthcare is an extraordinarily demanding field. Putting aside your own health to take care of your patients is extremely common. I think it's too easy and too lazy to judge a…

Ewan McGregor. Always always always.

i post a lot about body positivity, positive body image is important to me. randomlancila.

Really beautifully said. I think the 'all fat people are lazy' trope is old and tired and needs to die in a fire. I find it personally insulting as I work full time, go to school full time, run multiple body positive blogs full time, and still try to have some me-time. The very thought that people think I'm lazy sends me…

Now if only they'd get rid of Moffat, maybe Who would actually be good again.

I learned the hard way that 97.433244% of statistics are bulls*** :)

Surgery does not fix the psychological issues that cause many people to be as big as they are (depression, binge eating disorder or compulsive overeating, etc, eating while bored/stressed, etc.) This type of surgery assumes that all fat people just need to eat less and all their problems will be solved. I've known almost a…

I think that young kids should be encouraged to exercise by doing kid things. You know, running around in the yard/at the park, chasing each other, climbing trees, bike rides, going to the playground, going for walks. I really don't think actual exercise is really necessary at that age, as long as they're being active.…

there's a facebook group called fattoo that i'd recommend, and i'd also recommend onestopplus.com :)

I wish that stores that sold exclusively plus size clothing actually paid attention to how fat women's bodies differ from thin ones. You can't take a shirt that's a size 10, make it wider, and call it a size 20. As a fat woman, I wish the stores that supposedly 'cater' to me actually did.

re: 'chubby chasers' ew. i would never date a man who quantified what he found attractive with such a creepy label.

^^^^^^^^^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fact that 50 Shades is what so many people think an accurate portrayal of a BDSM relationship is, or a relationship at all, makes me so sad. Yeah, it's poorly written, but so is any trash novel you pick up at the airport. That's the least of my concerns. It's far too popular to be so…

this little journey is very personal to me, and i actually took time to write out my profile (which of course, does say that i don't accept requests without messages.) if someone sends me a request without a message, it proves to me that they didn't care enough to actually read my profile, so why would they care in…

I didn't bother reading any of the other pages of this so if someone else said this, I apologize. I don't see the problem. It gives your child the freedom to walk/run without running AWAY/into traffic/getting lost. How is that a bad thing? Another bonus, it gives the kid exercise instead of making them sit in a stroller or…
