I am a bit overweight, according to BMI, and a lot overweight according to clothing retail stores. This really bothered me for the longest time. I have a fully developed eating disorder, that I try to fight every single day. Every time I eat something that's regarded unhealthy, I have to tell Guilt and Disappointment to kindly fuck the hell off. I am 27 years old and I am finally learning to love myself and my body just the way it is.
And why shouldn't I? Sure, I am regarded as overweight, and sure I can't always find clothes that fit when I go clothes hunting, but you know what?
I have no medical issues related to my weight.
I have no problems moving around.
I am a stickler about scent, so there's no part of my body that doesn't get washed on a daily basis.
Anyone who claims that fat/overweight people are stupid can go and eat a running chainsaw. I had a 15.2/20 grade average (Swedish standards) in high school and I scored a 1.5 out of 2.0 on my college entrance exam. I have an A on the Cambridge English Proficiency Exam. And I didn't even try!! I cruised through all of this and still got the grades to match.
So I have decided to give size-shaming the finger and delve into The Militant Baker's 25 Things list. So once per week I will post photos in accordance to her specifications. Everyone is welcome to join me, regardless of size. This project is about body love and EVERYONE is welcome.
All bodies are beautiful! All people are beautiful!
