i have lost more moments of joy, love, success than i can count because i felt too big. i felt like all the good things were reserved for thinness. y’all need to stop making these lil girls think their childhoods should be a diet because you’re afraid of women claiming space
so many women genuinely believe that the worst thing they can be is fat. to be a beautiful, powerful, and accomplished fat woman who isn’t afraid to claim all of that physical and spiritual space is an act of revolution.
when i lost over 100 lbs, everyone suddenly loved me. everyone thought i was gorgeous. everyone thought i was powerful. i can assure you being congratulated for weight loss just feels like your greatest fear confirmed. you have to be thin to be valuable to the world. it sucks.
i’ve done a million truly remarkable things in my life. the kind of drive and determination required to lose a human worth of weight could be channeled into literally anything else. i did and now i live my dream and making that dream bigger every day. do. anything. else. first.
The MSG Bible is a real 👀opener. "Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities! Luke 12:48" Essentially, be careful what you ask for!
