You’ve heard people say don’t call her fat its “Rude” And for the most part, don’t we consent? Yet why? Why does a word like “fat” have such a bad reputation? If it isn’t rude to say “that woman is blonde,” or “that man is tall,” why is it impolite to say they are also fat?
Persons feel uneasy with the term “fat” since it “has been thrown around as an insult for decades,” but plus-size people are now “reclaiming it as a neutral descriptor for themselves.” After then, Self magazine published “‘Fat’ Isn’t a Bad Word,” but clarified that the word was a creation of others. Some people use fat to mean unlovable, Undesirable,unintelligent. Lazy.”
So one day my sister went to her school and one of her friend said i won’t play with you because “YOU’RE FAT” and she cried alot, because she knew even then that being called fat and being fat was one of the worst things that you could possibly be. She came home that day spoke to mom and told her everything what happened and mom said to her Well maybe we can go on a diet” and then maybe kids wont make fun of you for being fat And she said this out of love and being a loving, caring mom and being someone who had live through the same kind of thing who had being called fat her whole life and had used weight loss techniques to try to mitigate that. And it sound like a great idea and I would love to tell you she went on this diet But her dieting story is a lot like nearly everybody’s dieting story, it starts with one diet, you lose some weight, you gain it back, and you go on the other one, and the other one, and the other one. And over the next 24 years, she was always on a diet
She was achieving in a lot of ways but on the inside, she felt like a failure, because she was consumed with how much she ate, how much she didn’t eat, how much she exercise, how much she didn’t exercise, wait yesterday, gonna wait tomorrow.
You extend an invitation to those in your immediate vicinity to value their bodies. Choose no judgements to reject the constant messaging that tells us that our bodies are awful and no need to change. And it produces a beautiful mood as well as a sense of tranquilly.
So I just want you to have that intention today of loving your body and embracing body love. Thank you!
