Being vulnerable can feel so hard sometimes but if this makes one less person feel alone than it was worth it. It is impossible for us to love our bodies 100% of the time or even see it in a positive light all the time and remembering that allows us to navigate these hard days with a little more grace and love. Even though here in this space, we dont see fat as a negative term - sometimes it is hard to navigate that space especially when we have been told our entire lives that fat is the worst thing you can be told. Unlearning this internalized fatphobia is lifetime work & this community is a space to hold eachother accountable. Some days just feel so so hard and guess what? That makes us human. There are mean people in the world who take their pain out on other people and that sucks but remember - we can’t control what other people say or do but we can control how we react. I was hurt and sad for a little but then I remembered I had a toolbox filled with skills and interventions to help me navigate the negative self-talk! Remember, hurt people hurt people and you deserve to accept and love yourself no matter what hurtful things others say to you! Thank you for allowing me the space to be vulnerable!
