FINALLY
Women being celebrated who look a bit like me

When will imperfection become fashionable?
FAT
My brother has started to shame me if I’m eating more than he thinks I should.
My father married a thin woman who got fat and makes no secret of the fact that he found her more attractive when thin.
My mum has had a gastric band put in to get thinner.
My BMI is 26 point something, and I haven’t had any real romantic attention since it was 24 point something.
My sister’s BMI is closer to underweight than anything else. My mother vocalises her worry about my sister becoming underweight.
Yay.
I’m having a “I want to wear a paper bag over my face” day.
These tend to be worse when you come from a family which is aesthetically attractive and you’re playing catch up on a good day.
to all mah girlz
I like this picture. If I wanted to be a social justice blog I could rant about how the “shapes” of disability aren’t represented (the issue most pertinent to me), or any wider issues surrounding gender, age, or health (and wealth, even?).
But as it is it’s a nice picture - with a nice message I suppose.

I have no idea who this woman is, but I love her.
Correction: This fine dame is called Sarah Millican
to think, all this time i thought they had magical bodies that somehow fit perfectly into everything
My lack of surprise at this in no way negates my disappointment in the fashion industry. I’m someone (part of the majority) who they don’t cater for as a top heavy large breasted female who isn’t fat as such, but isn’t slim either. If only it was easy to dismiss the messages the media force feed us about beauty - I might just have some self esteem then.
