Loving the Beautiful You

"Fat acceptance doesn’t simply advocate in favor of fatness. Fat acceptance is also about rejecting a culture that encourages us to rage and lash out at our bodies, even to hate them, for looking a certain way. It’s about setting our own boundaries and knowing ourselves, and making smart decisions about how we live and treat ourselves, and ferociously defending the privacy of those choices. It’s about promoting the idea that anything you do with your body should come from a place of self-care and self-love, not from guilt and judgment and punishment. It’s about demanding that all bodies, no matter their appearance or age or ability, be treated with basic human respect and dignity. That’s the world I’d like to build. For all of us."

This is my first time submitting on here - feeling a little nervous - but positive at the same time!

I’m currently in ED recovery and have really been struggling to accept my womanly shape.

But, this blog has REALLY helped me so much - thank you for that! 

For anyone else who is in recovery, I can’t recommend this blog highly enough :)

If you ever need to talk, I’m a good listener, so just ask.

I’m also an artist / illustrator & did a series of work when I was struggling with anorexia, called “Goldilocks - Minus the Porridge.”

You can find that, along with other work,  here :)

Keep on keeping on xx
