uhhh no. there is nothing wrong with being curvy, but when you’re obese and have health problems, it is no longer body positivity. i am all for being proud of your body, but not to the point when it risks your life because of heart problems, joint problems, etc. fuck this post.
Shut up shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP.
“I’m all for being proud of your body, just not of YOUR body” will forever and always be bullshit.
You know who were the first people to talk about anything like body positivity? Fat people. Great big fat people. Some of whom may have even had health concerns. (gasp!) They also saw that the fat positive vocabulary and philosophies they were developing could help many others so they opened up their work. And what happened? People like this tried to snatch it away from them. Tell them they had no right to what they created. Suddenly body positivity was supposed to only be for bodies you’re supposed to be positive about and the mean hamplanets were trying to make it mean something else instead of “size acceptance for acceptable sizes”.
Fuck that.
