Status Updates From The (Other) F Word: A Celeb...

If it gets preachy I'm out

"You deserve to live a life that is free from shame and filled with freedom. Believe me when I say that you can start your own internal revolution by reclaiming and reframing one word at a time." (245/306)

"A happy person doesn’t try to ruin another person’s happiness. This is a fundamental truth that I keep in mind when someone hurts me; I hope that you can eventually do the same." (243/306)

"No matter how fat you think you are, someone wishes they were as thin as you. You are their ideal weight. You inspire someone simply by existing." (225/306)

"In life we often place emphasis on low-level tasks and procrastinate on larger issues, wondering all the while why we aren’t seeing progress." (180/306)

"It’s easy for us to accept blame for our abuse, because we’re taught that we can make the abuse stop if we just—poof!—lose weight. ... The truth is that it’s much, much easier for a jerk to stop being a jerk than for a fat person to become a thin person. Someone can choose to stop being a bigot—instant results guaranteed. The same isn’t true for a person’s weight." (111/302)

"It doesn’t make me feel good knowing that the few people making clothing for fat bodies make them specifically for fat bodies, rather than for all different types of people." (65/306) I disagree with this. I'd rather get something from a specialist than someone trying to be good at everything and ending up being good at nothing

"All the spheres of your life deserve to engage with you when you’re happy, not just one person. No one appreciates being forgotten when their friend falls in love, only to be remembered when that friend suddenly needs help." (47/306)

"Avoid This Trope: Don’t Sidekick Yourself" (42/306)

"You’re not waiting for love. You’re cultivating a totally you, totally full life where love is welcome to walk in the door at any moment. Because YOU are a complete person already. You’re not looking for another half, Fat Babe. You’re looking for someone worthy of all that love you have to give." (42/306)
