An attack on "Things fat girls shouldn't do"
25 Things Fat People Shouldn't Do is an unabashed middle finger to the preposterous idea that any human who weighs more than the status quo does not deserve to live a full and well rounded (ahem) life. The list of 25 is composed word for word from direct lists of sheer assholery found on the internet. These range from the absurd to the profoundly shameful, and I will be disproving this offensive notion with style. Feel free to join in on the fun, and if you do, link at the bottom so I can share.

I spent wasted a lot of time in my life being ashamed of my body. Outside forces and the media led me to believe that you can be fat or you can be pretty, you can't be both. You can be fat and want to fix it, or you can be skinny and love your body. But being fat and loving your body? Unheard of!
Over the past two years I've been on a fantastic adventure learning to love my body. and I've never been happier!!
One of the things that has made me the most confident in myself is the purchase of my fatkini!
Over my life I have been bombarded with the notion that you have to "achieve a perfect beach body!" I spent a lot of time covering myself up as I went to the pool and beach (and I live in FLORIDA!) of course I finally shook my head and said no no no, this will not do!
I hope that I can inspire at least one person to step outside of what they have always been comfortable in. The weight that lifts off your shoulders is unbelievable!
Here's a few pictures that were snapped of me this weekend, as I was swimming!
Follow your bliss, all the way to the beach!
