    HOW NOT TO HATE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED (by lesley from xoJane)

    Photos are not truth, and cameras are not magic. Cameras are, ultimately, inadequate little mechanisms that produce images every bit as open to individual interpretation as the perception of yourself you carry around inside your head is; both of these images have unstable relationships with objective reality, and neither can be thoroughly, fully trusted as absolute fact.

    If we could all just stop using the word Fat for what are considered BAD qualities (Ugly, Lazy, etc), the world would be a much happier place. 

    Someone months ago posted a great list of ways that people say the word fat and what are much more appropriate adjectives instead.  When you say you are “feeling fat” - what do you actually mean?

    And also, while I do understand it’s not the easiest thing to come to terms with one’s body - BEING fat or GETTING fat is not the end of the world.  I know this is a hugely personal thing, but it’s highly detrimental to personal self worth to think of it in that way.

    I normally don’t get involved in these hot topic conversations, but as a body-positivity voice and fat girl, I wanted to throw in my thoughts.

    I woke up this morning feeling really terrible about myself physically and mentally.  I feel like elaborating on details will only play into the shitty stereotypes that I already see/hear on a daily basis. 

    Dammit, I’m better than this - but sometimes I just feel BEAT DOWN by it all.  I need my chosen family, my friends, my queer little loves to surround me with body positivity and love at moments like this - when my body is weak, when i’m too exhausted, when i’m downtrodden, when i’m feeling squidgy in my skin - I need you the most.  I want to be there for any of you when you feel this way too.

    I’m starting to think Boy is getting disgusted with my body… My ex boyfriend hated my body, but he never explicitly said it to me. But his silence and his reluctance to have fun times gave me that hint.

    I’m scared that Boy will dislike mine. I mean, I like it when I’m just slightly pudgy, but I’m very pudgy right now. I need to lose the goddamn weight so I can feel sexually desirable and pretty. :(

    I am going to kill you.  not really, but fucking stop it.

    :( Why are you so angry with me?

    I’m not angry with you.  I just don’t want to see you base your body image on what boy(s) think of it — that is shit for a person’s self esteem.

    please, i implore you, if you’re going to work on anything - it’s that you start each day by loving yourself just the way you are.

    I think if I could dedicate my life to anything, it would be to somehow figure out how to teach women to not have a shitty self esteem and most certainly not base their body image on what they think dudes want.

    seriously folks….stop hating yourselves.  It’s likely in 5 years you’ll back at photos from yourself right here right now and you’ll think “wow, I was beautiful, why didn’t i know it?” And Jennynutrawatcher commercials can go suck a dick.
