“Fat” tags
So I am trying to be a pretty positive person these days. After years of being an angry critical person I feel like I am finding the flow of a much more soothed soul. Thank you marijuana, masturbation, queers, Southern California sunshine and fatties with self love. HOWEVER it makes me rilly pretty sad that when I follow tags for “fat” most of the shit I get is dieters talking about how much they’re gonna lose, how much they hate their fat, etc. I started this blog as a place to access community and positivity and similar wave-lengths and honestly I see enough before and after, fat hating shit. Let us count the ways I see fatphobia and h8erz:
A) In the magazines I read at the gym.
B) In the gym listening to people talk about how gross they look
C) Outside of the gym listening to people talk about what they ate and how they’re so happy they can go burn it off and if they couldn’t they’d probably cry cus HELLO HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR THIGHS.
D) When I open up my newsfeed on Facebook and someones posting pics and saying how fat they are
E) When I go to the coffee shop and watch people watch what I order. I will have an Iced Americano and a CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CROISSANT COVERED IN BACON AND BUTTER THANKYOUVERYMUCH.
I mean the list keeps going but you wonder why fat people don’t like going to the gym. I mean other than the fact that it’s the fucking gym but add in all this fat shaming and hating and I mean hello I am just here to get my 25 mins of cardio in so I get that endorphine rush, do some weights so I can feel a little sore (das how I likes it) and listen to some fucking SuperBass by Rhianna and then getthefuckout.
So in conclusion to a rant that is really about nothing in particular: I think Ima need to not look at tags that are only “fat” cus it just hurts too much.
