A vent of being fat
Why doesn't anyone talk about the sheer difficulty that comes from being a "fat" girl in a thin-obsessed culture? While us "fatties" are constantly told to love ourselves and our curves and accept ourselves, it doesn't change the fact that the norm of our society is that that thin=beautiful. In movies, the "pretty" girl is always skinny, with protruding collar bones and a flat, often tanned, stomach. As we all know, the world is an extremely varied place, and this air-brushed perfection isn't the reality. Here I've compiled a list of reasons why being "fat" in a thin-obsessed society is so incredibly difficult.
1.) Clothes. Clothes are made for thinner people. Trends are centered around thin people. Crop tops, cut outs, leggings, short skirts. While anyone and everyone can and should rock these looks, its often a fact that heavier girls may feel uncomfortable in these skin-bearing clothes. And in a society where the more taut and tanned skin you show the "sexier" you are, this is a difficult pill to swallow. Being a girl, you want to feel sexy and pretty and wanted, and when all of your friends are wearing clothes that you can't, it hurts.
2.) You think that if you could just be thin, all of your problems would be solved. That boy would like you. You'd have more friends. You'd feel happier. You could be picked up and spun around.
3.) You shy away from things like makeup or nice clothes because if you use them you'll feel more of a pig with some eyeliner and less of a model. Like someone trying to be something they aren't.
These are things I feel, being a heavier girl. I made this post not to "fat shame" anybody, but to maybe make my fellow curvy girls feel less alone.
