fat,

It saddens me to see people struggling so much to fit into society's norms, to fit into our society's definition of skinny, our society's definition of beautiful. There's nothing wrong with being skinny, but what means are you using to get there? Starving, throwing up, excessive exercise - is being accepted by society worth all that?

I'm not a girl people would call average, much less skinny. I wear UK 12-14 clothes and it's literally impossible for me to wear clothes that are tagged 'free size'. But yet, I'm proud to say that I'm not ashamed of myself, of being who I am.

The fact is that I love food, I love laziness, and I hate exercising. So it's pretty much inevitable for me. And may I add that I'm extremely annoyed by people who constantly tell me to lose weight.

"Eh Nic you should seriously try to lose weight."
"If you become skinnier confirm got guys jio you."
"Nic lose weight already can wear bikini."
"You'll look prettier if you lose weight."


Fuck you, is what I'll say.

Who are you to determine what's right for me? Who are you to tell me how to live my life? I will exercise when I want to, and not because I'm trying desperately to lose weight, but because I want to lead a healthier lifestyle. Don't you dare tell me what I can and cannot eat because I'll eat whatever the fuck I want and nobody can do anything about it.

I refuse to be one of those girls who put their self-worth based on how heavy I am or what size clothes I wear.

This is my life to live, and not anyone else's. So nobody's stopping me.

If you're trying to turn me into someone else, it's easy to see I'm not down with that, I'm not nobody's fool. (Nobody's Fool - Avril Lavigne)
