It’s Like Seeing A Victorian Woman’s Ankles!

Please reblog if you are a girl and have ever been made to feel ashamed of one or more of these things (wanting to prove a point to some asshole):

-your weight

-your clothing choice

-your amount of make up

-having sex

-not having sex

-breast size

-having your period

-saying no

-not appreciating catcalls 

-masturbating

-body hair

I need… more… historical aus….

There are very few exceptions, like that soldier poet king song or certain gospel songs. I like Christmas music if that counts but majority of the ones I like have nothing to do with actual Christianity and are just about Santa Clause.

Do you think most or all Christian music is bad?

You know what sucks? I used to be an AVID reader, I’d finish like two books in 5 days. Then reading started to be required for my grade and I lost so much motivation to read. The teacher would constantly make jokes about how our generation ‘shouldn’t be on the internet so much and pick up a book.’ I still hate her right now.

Does anyone have any tips on how to break that habit? I don’t just mean book recs, but just general tips on how to help my behavior?

What is this shit? ‘Correct cellulite’, ‘a body positivity spa’? I don’t think so. It’s fine if this is the kind of stuff you enjoy doing, y’know if it makes you feel good about yourself, that’s wonderful. But when you show a model that’s ribs are showing(who is very beautiful but I’m proving a point) and pressure you by saying stuff like ‘get started on your bikini bod’. That’s not body positivity, but instead spreading body negativity. I can wear a bikini with my stomach rolls and rock it! So any girls that see stuff like this and feel bad about yourself, just know its BS!

“I AM INEVITABLE!” “I … I am their father.”

I actually wax my legs but I have to let them grow out for a while and it’s really helped me not care when I wear shorts in public if my hair is grown out

I love this scene because it is just the rich kids being like “I have this very sophisticated snack” that like idk a nanny probably packed for them or whatever. And then you have have Anya who gets two bags of her favorite food from her her loving parents that she gets genuinely excited about.

Whenever someone tries to say something about how the body positivity movement is all about telling people being fat is a healthy lifestyle, I tell them about how I, at the ripe old age of 9 years old, wanted an eating disorder because I knew it could cause irreparable damage to your body so that you would have problems gaining weight even if you managed to recover. That’s right, I would rather having a potentially fatal mental and physical illness than live my life with the baby fat that I naturally had.

My first memory of hating my body was when I was either 4 or 5 and my mom got me one of those cute little kid bikinis for the Fourth of July with little Stars and Stripes all over it so that I could have fun in the blow-up pool in our backyard. However, looking at myself in the Disney princess vanity mirror, I wanted to cry. And even though I was so young and obviously I wasn’t going to look like a skinny model, I still immediately panicked and changed into a one-piece before hiding that kid bikini in the bottom of my drawer.

Today I am a mid-size young woman that still sometimes goes into a depression about my body, but I know that in the big picture, I have recovered greatly from those years of looking at myself in the mirror and telling myself that no one would ever love me (though sometimes that particular thought worms it’s way into my brain).

That is what the body positivity movement is. A way to tell little kids that hey, looking different than the starving models on the runways and in movies isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, even just having bigger girls on the screen and not as jokes or awful caricatures would have made me feel so much better about myself.
