Musings of a Lazy Hopeful

Reason 17 

There’s something incredibly strange about the caption on this picture.
See, it’s pointing to one girl seemingly indicating that she’s the “fat friend”, but there’s a problem. There’s no fat girls in this picture. The one with the arrow pointing at her doesn’t appear to be larger than the others. It’s just the angle of the other girls, since they’re all turned a little and the one with the arrow isn’t. 
There is no ‘fat friend” in this picture.
And even if there was, it wouldn’t matter because real friends wouldn’t really care. 
Funny how that works out. =]

People that say that I should give up ana and mia, why would I give up the only thing that has been with me through thick and thin? (more thick than thin) the only thing that has never given up on me?

because “ana” and “mia” are monsters that want to kill you. 

They haven’t given up on you because they’re winning the battle as they slowly destroy your mind and body. They haven’t given up because you’re letting them devour you. 

When people say you should give up ‘ana’ and ‘mia’, they’re not saying you should give up on some positive thing in your life, they’re saying you should take your life back and take back control. They’re saying you should realize that you’re better than that, stronger than the disease, and you can win. 

if they’re saying you should give up ‘ana’ and ‘mia’, they haven’t given up on you. They still have faith in you. 

‘ana’ and ‘mia’ only want you dead. anyone telling you to give them up and recover want you to live, and they still have faith in the fact that you can. 

Guide to loving your body:

1. Get naked and take a good long look at your body. Trace your stretch marks, feel your hip bones poking out, place your hand over your tummy and take a fistful of yourself in. Appreciate your scars and pimples, your uneven,large,or nonexistent breasts. Take pride in your un/shaven, un/cut, fantastically odd private bits. Hold up a mirror to yourself and study your body. Love it.

2. Be Ugly, reclaim words that are used to put you down and shut you up and scream right back at these fascist beauty standard reinforcing scumbags. Give them the finger and tell them to kiss your fat/skinny/somewhere in between ass ‘cause you ain’t got time to waste with their body hating bullshit. and remember, you don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Validate yourself by accepting yourself.

3. Wear clothes that don’t fit, that are too big or too small and show all your “problem areas” that cosmo insists you hide and walk down the street like the fucking fabulous queen you are. Sashay the hate away.

4. Do what YOU want with YOUR body. Shave or don’t, wear makeup or don’t, whatever choice you make is yours to make, and anyone who shames you for your decision can keep it moving. This also means respecting the choices of others, even if they differ from your own.

5. Surround yourself with loving and supportive people. Rid of the toxic bullshit in your life if possible, and immerse yourself in a community that embraces body positivity and diversity.

Decided on a cosplay that i’m gonna feel super self concious. I’m not showing a ton of skin, but it’s more like i’m wearing a skin tight dress. 

So yeah.

oh boy.

So messed up. Why? What is the point? So you can make girls feel like they are not good enough because they are being compared to something that doesn’t exist. Just stop. Be yourself!

Remember when I was all proud of myself for pushing myself to do crunches and stretch and pushups and stuff every night before I went to bed?

Yeah, good times.

I think I gotta get back into that. 

Cause i’m feeling exceptionally lazy recently.

blah.

It’s really not helping that the weather’s been crappy. Though even on nice days i’m finding excuses not to go for bike rides. I DO have a lot to do, though, so at least the reasons are legit?

regardless. Blah.

Remember guys, nothing you see in magazines is real. Nothing. 
Might be based on something real. But calling it an accurate representation of reality would be like saying a tracing a photo of a picasso is an accurate depiction of a picasso.
