Body Posititivity - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didn’t lose no weight. I actually got bigger.

Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.

Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And that’s cool.

Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE

stretch marks r so based… i love them on me (i’m growin!) i love them on other girls… they’re so pretty 2 me, like little strokes of a paintbrush…

Well, long story short, I sent an ambassador application to C-IN2 and got approved.

I’m so happy to see different kinds of bodies get more representation on social media, and even happier that brands like C-IN2 are interested in giving them visibility.

The briefs are comfortable af by the way 🦦✌🏻

Things that aren't bad/flaws

-acne, blackheads, acne scars -scars in general -cellulite -stretch marks -freckles -frizzy hair -body hair (anywhere) -dark circles -moles -skin discoloration -saggy breasts, uneven breasts, breasts of any size/shape -big noses, noses with bumps or uneven septums/nostrils -any body type Feel free to add more~

So. I don’t know much about Deadpool, surface level stuff really, but my friend finds him hot but only WITH the mask on, and I want to say fuck no to that. Who cares if he is calloused by dying and regenerating tumors, I still love him for how he looks mask or not.

I know this kind of makes me sound like I’m saying “Mmm tumor man 😘😘😘 I love cancer and stuff oogghh 😍😍😍” No, what I’m trying to say is that things that make us unique are inherently hot/attractive to me.

Extra fat/plus-sized? Gorgeous, more person to hug. Stretch marks? You’ve got stripes! That’s neat and cool! Scars? We all have them, no use in being ashamed of them. You’ve got high-metabolism? Great, I can make you more specially made meals! (It’ll just be eggs most the time, but they’ll be damned good eggs.)

TL;DR: Our unique human experiences shown through our bodies/genes is interesting and something to love.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're 11-18, you don't need to be worrying about your body. You are a child. You are going to change so much in the next couple of years, so give yourself some time. Feed yourself for all of the changes your body is going through. You don't need to have slim thighs, bigger breasts, a smaller waist, toned arms, a round butt, abs, or any of the standards the world has used to lie to you. You also should not be comparing yourself TO ANYONE. Not the sophomore you pass by in the hallways, not the actress on the TV, not even your sister. People that are younger than you, your age, or especially if they are older, don't compare yourself to them. You don't understand the difference just a few years can make. I cannot tell you how much I changed from age 13 to 14 years old, both mentally and physically. That's only one year of time. And please do not compare yourself to adults. Even if you aren't 11-18, there is still no reason to compare yourself. Be kind to yourself. Please. You are so much more than your body. I know it doesn't feel that way but I promise.

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."

First of all, that's a load of bullshit. And second there are so many things in this world worth your time more than 'being skinny'. There's the feeling of a full, warm stomach after eating until you are satisfied. There's not being cold all of the time. There's having the energy to play sports, do fun activities, or just walk up the damn stairs. There's not being distracted when you're talking with your friends; or eating your favorite foods with loved ones instead of sitting awkwardly while you try not to think about your stomach rumbling. Enjoy every second you have of this short life. There is so much life to live. I know you are wondering what life but it's there. Choose recovery, choose to live. I swear you will never regret it. If you are full for even one hour, if you are happy for just one moment, it's worth it. If I could hug every one of you I would.

(I'm tagging this under 'thinspo' so that all of the girls that are reading and being brainwashed by these disgusting, an0rexia promoting posts find this and with it some comfort.)

Hi, um, I just wanted to say that I saw a gif you made of zombiecleo, and it made me tear up because it was the first time I had ever seen a drawing of a girl with my body type where people were saying they looked attractive. And I know I don't know you but I wanted to thank you for making the type of art that let me know people think I'm beautiful, since I struggle a lot with my appearance. You're a great artist

Oh my goodness, thank you so much !!!

I cannot truly explain just how much this means to me!! All I’ve ever wanted to do with my art is make people recognise themselves and feel attractive, desirable, and most of all, seen.

A big part of this aspiration is from my own experiences, as other artists’ portrayal of bodies like mine was part of what has made me comfortable in my own skin and confident in my self-perception, so I am beyond happy that my own art has done that for someone else!! It’s particularly lovely to hear this, anon, because that animation was rotoscoped off of my body/acting, so knowing that my depiction of my own body has made someone else feel recognised is so amazing to hear as an artist and, simply, as a person.

All this to say thank you so so so much, you gorgeous anon <333

ZombieCleo, my beloved

I kinda went crazy and did this in one day. I have no animating experience

GIF Version under the cut :DD

um. fat people are allowed to be outside btw. fat people are allowed to wear clothes that do not completely flatter them. fat people are allowed to have their belly showing or wear clothes too small for them. fat people are allowed to exist in whatever they want and we dont have to constantly make ourselves look appealing + attractive. skinny people can wear lazy clothes and be called gorgeous but god forbid a fat person not put 100% into their fucking appearance every single day of their life

I See Your Truth, And In It I See Your Beautiful

Poem by me, the-algid

I want you to look in the mirror, see the truth, and in that truth realize your beautiful.

I get how you can think some of your features aren't pretty, but its laughable how you can let society make you believe you're nothing less than the definition of beauty.

I see your face as you laugh, as you smile, as you frown, as you cry, as you fear, as you love, I see your truth, and I see you're beautiful.
