“(TW: Weight loss ) “You are not on this earth to be small. Of course I am not telling you if you are a small person that you are not meant to be on this earth. But what I am saying is to really ask: Why am I trying to be as small as humanly possible? Really- Why? Why am I treating my time on earth like this? Why am I using up all my precious energy to value being as small as humanly possible? Why am I trying to control everything like this? Why am I trying to shrink away, to diminish myself, to fade into the corner? Why on earth is it sane to believe that my power comes from being a frail little thing who doesnt take up any space? What on earth am I trying to accomplish? And isn’t there another way? Wouldn’t it be better to be open and bold and brave, and take up space and celebrate who I am and what I’ve done and greet the world with a shining smile? Isn’t there more to my life than being small? I am not on this earth to be small.”

pleasestayperfect:

Man or woman; boy or girl; big or small; short or tall; big boobs or small boobs or no boobs; acne or no acne; thigh gap or no thigh gap; scars or no scars; glasses or no glasses; abs or no abs; dark skin or light skin and everything in between: Love your body. This is definitely a cliché from somewhere, but your flaws make you unique and they honestly make you perfect.

When you’re flipping through a magazine or looking at an advertisement, remember that the models and celebrities that you want to look like don’t even look like their pictures. Don’t compare yourself to them, because it’s not real and they are not you. Stop comparing yourself to your friends, because I guarantee that if you looked like them, you would have the same insecurities as they do.

You are you. You are beautiful, or handsome and imperfectly perfect. You make, or will make, someone very, very happy. Someone does, or will, love you for all that you are. Learn how to love yourself. Instead of criticizing yourself when you look in the mirror - look for the positives and focus on them. Allow yourself to feel good and wear clothes that reflect who you are and what you think looks good; not what everyone else thinks look good. You say that you hate society for all being the same and being judgmental and so on; be the change that you want to see. Accept yourself, and your body.<3 #bodylove

this is perfect.

Wow would you look at that, an actual plus size model.

You can have rolls and cellulite and jiggly bits all over.

It’s okay.

Really, it is. I promise.

this

is so

COOL

What the world needs to realize is that human beings get cellulite and there is nothing that is going to change that. Even thin people have cellulite. GET OVER IT. ITS OKAY.

People seem to think that being “fat” or having things like cellulite are the absolute worst. But aren’t there much worse things to be/have? How about being a hypocrite, or being completely selfish? How about being judgmental or ungrateful? Being fat and having flaws are really great when you put things into perspective.

"What Losing 180 Pounds Really Does to Your Body — & Your Mind"

"What Losing 180 Pounds Really Does to Your Body — & Your Mind":

mybodypeaceofmind:

I would love for everyone to read this yahoo article that I just stumbled upon.

Its about a girl who got weight loss surgery and dropped 180lbs and realized being thin wasn’t what she needed to be healthy or happy.

And this is something I try to stress to people constantly… that losing weight is not a means of being happy. That no matter how much weight you lose… you will always find things to pick on and strive for a perfect weight/size that doesn’t exist.

And the article is an essay she wrote about it and its beautiful and I’d love for anyone and everyone to read this and reblog it and spread it around because she has a wonderful way of wording her story and the popular issue among people in the weight loss world.

oh my God this is so heartbreaking and awesome at the same time

yo yo yo check this out peeps

left is me flexing my abs, right is me relaxing my stomach. this is after a normal day at school, my tummy full of healthy and nutritious food. i get enough fiber, i get enough protein, i get enough carbs, i get enough of every essential vitamin and nutrient. so why does this happen?

meet my awesome, amazing, super helpful gastrointestinal tract. it helps me digest food and absorb nutrients, expanding in the process. it only makes sense that my stomach would be so ‘bloated’ looking because there is food in my stomach. healthy, awesome, delicious food sitting in my small intestine and being carried to my stomach. how fabulous is that? my entire body is one big beautiful physiological biorhythm. eating disorders shouldn’t tell you otherwise, because after i’ve had ample sleep, i’ll wake up like the photo on the left after my gastrointestinal tract has finished digesting the food i ate the day before. new concept, i know.. crazy, eh?

god bless this post. that pooch is not “stomach fat” it’s called having organs and intestines hahaha

needed this x10

I need to remind myself of this constantly. This is normal!

Thank you for this. So many girls freak out over minor stomach fat or minor bloat! Your body NEEDS some fat to work properly and bloat is part of natural bodily digestion processes! Be HAPPY this is happening— that means your body is happy and is taking great care of you! :D
