Keep on truckin hun, you will get there, it takes time and the first step is applying it to other people, sometimes we have to give out love before we can recieve it, even if that love it for ourselves.

Aww thanks ya’ll! Such sweethearts! For me positivity is key, if i didn’t love myself I dont think I could make it and knowing that others appreciate it too is like icing on the cake. MMM icing

Wow, I really admire and envy your confidence.

“I believe that finding that peace with yourself the way you are, at any size, and loving you is really what it’s all about.”

I totally agree – I just wish I could put it into practice. I’ve totally embraced FA as a concept and can apply it to other people. I can now look at other fat people and see them as attractive for the first time in my life (I’m 39). However, applying it to myself is so much harder. It’s gonna be a long journey for me and I’m only just at the start.

Reading about people with positive attitudes is a big help.

This is the kind of attitude we want to pass on to our children, rather than having it be the model for grown women to attempt to achieve. It’s a lot easier to deal with all the shit a fat person has to deal with if you are born and raised with this kind of confidence. I wish we could bottle it up and pass it out to all the self-loathing fatties out there. But once you’ve endured the gauntlet of fat hatred all your life, it’s that much harder to get to the place you are now. The best you can hope for is acceptance, whereas you exhibit not only acceptance, but downright passion for being fat.

Great post.

Peace,
Shannon

Way to go! You are a much different person from the first time I met you and you have to know that I am very PROUD of all you have done and the person you have become! Love you buddy!

to be honest, YOU ROCK…im jealous…i wish i had that sort of confidence growing up….but we all go through our own struggles by our own path…..

“By embracing my weight my life has been full of non-shallow people who loved me for me, with my way too loud laugh and my fiery personality” YES! i am in that process myself…its amazing wheen you start loving yourself and stop trying to please everybody who sticks around…and who moves on to the next sucker needing self esteem.

This is a great post. You have one of the most positive attitudes I have ever seen about body image. I don’t think I can name five people I know who aren’t filled with self-loathing regarding how they look. It’s sad to look at someone who is blindingly beautiful who can’t find one positive thing to say about themselves.
This made me giggle also as you talked about weeding out toxic relationships. I’ve got a few gals in my life that went sour and need a good kick or directions to the nearest exit. Perhaps I’ll get to weeding sometime soon.
