Fighting Fat

Combating twenty one years of self hatred and unhealthy habits with clean eating and hard work.

this SHIT makes me want to break something.

CUT THIS OUT. LOSE WEIGHT FOR YOURSELF.

I’ve been on an unfollowing spree lately because these keep popping up. I got really upset when I saw one that said “Lose weight so you can have the best summer ever!”

I’m not one to cast stones, I used to reblog that kind of thing and truly believed that I would have an amazing summer if I reached some arbitrary number. But after having a spectacularly shitty summer, I really realized that you can only have as much fun as you let yourself.

Every day that you spend imagining how much better your life would be if you were 10, 20, 30 pounds less is a day wasted. Instead of occupying yourself with doing things you love, you spend it filling yourself with doubts and self hatred. And from my experience, it’s a lot harder to let go of those feelings than it is to lose a few pounds.

I’m writing a goddamn novel here, so I apologize. My point is this: lose weight for yourself. Do it for any reason you want. But don’t hold yourself back from happiness because of you weigh x pounds. You can weigh whatever you want as long as you wear it with confidence. You don’t have to untag yourself in any Facebook photo that you don’t want. The only thing that’s preventing you from doing any of these things is you.

Oh, and one more point: no one cares about your weight as much as you do. The only people who think you’re “the fat friend” are wastes of space who don’t deserve your time or energy.

I’m feeling lots of feelings today.
