All these lovely ladies weigh 154lbs. We all carry weight differently, don’t live your life by an outdated chart. Find a number that looks and feels good.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK. WEIGHT COMES IN DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES.
Glowing With Health
[I'm working on getting this theme sorted out, please bear with me]
Type One Diabetic trying to get my a1C in a good range and get fit and healthy. In recovery from Diabulima (NOT pro-ED). The mix of diabetes and an eating disorder have made getting fit/losing weight VERY challenging (I'll explain more in my "About Me"), but I'm committed to doing my best now! God willing, with His grace, I will succeed.
I'm loving myself and my body, not trying to punish it out of hatred! I want to be glowing with health.
Any encouragement is appreciated, and I'd love to have others to support : ) Please message me, especially if you're a type 1!
See my "Progress" page for stats.
I know jlaw can be problematic, but this speaks to me on a fundamental level lol
Saw this somewhere else and felt the need to post it cause no one else ever really tells you this stuff
My mom never really noticed. She noticed when she was breast feeding my little brother and blood started coming out instead of milk.
My mom said she felt and saw a little lump in the shower. She was lucky enough she found it at stage 2
My mom had a mammogram. The radiologist thought the spots were just regular calcium deposits.
Turns out it was triple negative breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nods. Mastectomy, radiation and chemo saved her life.
This could SAVE a life.

[TW: EATING DISORDERS] “It Ain’t Skinny They Hate” - a slam poem about thin privilege
(this is my first time so I’m sorry if it’s terrible)
(also I know over-apologizing is somewhat of a turn off)
(but shh I’m Canadian it’s in my nature)
Every now and then I get told to
“Eat a sandwich!”
“Where’s your meat?”
“You’re all skin and bones, put some more on your plate!”
I don’t like it, but
it ain’t skinny they hate
I see the crusty-pixelled saved and resaved facebook jpegs
“Real men like curves, only dogs go for bones!”
and no I don’t wanna see it
especially when I got small tits
and wish
I had an ass that didn’t stab people’s laps
when I sit on them, but
it ain’t skinny they hate
and I know skinny isn’t always strong
skinny isn’t immune to pinching itself
glaring at itself
loathing, over-working, and starving itself
and spewing its breakfast in the washroom at school
but it isn’t because they’re running from skinny
it’s because they’re running from fat
and no they’re not always polite
but they could be on the defense
trying to cope with the privileges fat’s denied, and skinny’s afforded
can you blame them?
if you didn’t understand
why why why why
all your life
the body you were born into isn’t regarded as inherently RIGHT
I get told to eat a sandwich
my baby sister gets to grow up
compared to me, who didn’t diet or exercise
but is told that she HAS to diet and exercise
to look like me
that she wasn’t fine and perfect just the way she was
with chubby arms bared in a sundress
dipping cookies
into a glass of milk
on the front porch
like it’s so fucking taboo to have told her
she doesn’t need to improve
that her body was just as okay as mine
and I don’t know what that’s like
to be policed for my size
to be punished by society, including those who love me
for, of all things, my weight
because
it ain’t skinny they hateWell, Farrah made me cry.
When thin people get, omg. This was great.
Beautiful! I love this chick!
Beautiful..
That porcupine one really got to me because of how cute it is, oh my…
