Growing up FAT is:
Rehearsing in your head FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME since you were a child the grand comeback you intend on hitting your aunt w/ IF SHE DARE mention a thing about your weight- THEN holding back bc your parents image is worth more than your literal peace & comfort.

Growing up FAT is:
Being afraid to eat in public spaces because your family has traumatized TF out of you your entire life.

Growing up FAT is:
Being exceptional at using your silence as a way to “disappear” in a room because you’re SUREEEE that your body alone is taking up WAY too much space.

Growing Up FAT is:
Literally thinking you don’t deserve the best of anything in life because you’re not “slim”. It’s literally believing that you’re a walking flaw unless you’re a size 2. It’s living like a walking apology.

Constantly apologizing to nobodies for exsisting.

Fortunately, there’s ways out of that type of life. Starting with self love. The minute you convince yourself of the FACT THAT no one else matters... so much of your worth and beauty will be clearer to you. BELIEVE ME. Because now, besides MANY things...
An “Aunty” COULD NEVA.

I want you to turn to your neighbour and tell her,
“You don’t matter.”
“You don’t matter.”
And I also encourage you guys to CALL THE MTHFKRS OUT. From young to old. Family to friend. If they are constantly making you feel uncomfortable, OPEN YOUR MOUTH and tell them you’re not here for it. A lot of us are afraid to defend ourselves bc we feel “WRONG”. We’re NOT.
