Day Three of Fatty Journal 💕✨

When I was skinny, my worst fear in the world was being fat. Not because I hated fat people, in fact I really wanted to be one from the time I was a kid.
No, I feared being fat because I worried my value disintegrated with each pound gained. This is what the early 2000s diet culture told me growing up.
Magazines, TV shows, movies, commercials, billboards, friends, family, EVERYTHING told me to be skinny or else. My biggest fear wasn’t really the weight gain, it was disappointing people. I didn’t want to gain weight and lose my “value”, because that means I’d be disappointing other people!
Now, as someone who is fat™️, my biggest fear is still disappointing people… but the only person I fear disappointing is myself. I want to stay true to myself for the rest of my life. To me, that is living to my full hedonistic potential.
