You don’t have to justify your body.

chillcake:

stophatingyourbody:

If you’re thin, you don’t have to say ‘but I eat all the time!’/’I have a fast metabolism!’

If you’re fat, you don’t have to say ‘it’s genetic!’/’I’m trying to lose weight!’

You don’t need to explain to anybody why your body is the way it is. Your body is YOUR body, and that’s all the justification you need.

When things such as this pop up on my dash, I get reminded that I follow THE. BEST. PEOPLE.

I want to start the biggest catalogue of photos and stories from normal women (that means EVERY size, EVERY shape) for us all to look at when we're feeling down. No one should be upset because their body is different, we should cherish our individuality, and be surprised what parts of ourselves others find attractive (and are jealous about!). Do you want to contribute to this project? What I want is a photo of you. You don't have to show your face, but at least your full torso, along with your: height, weight, measurements, clothing size (be sure to say what country clothing size that is, e.g. a UK 14 or US 16) and a little paragraph about why you love yourself. If we all do this together, we can help each other on the road to accepting that we're not all going to look like models, we don't need plastic surgery to lift our boobs or whittle down our butts. WE ARE FINE THE WAY WE ARE.
