Thebog-witch - Monday

I think one of my philosophies on being fat, one that I was told that really changed my life, was the phrase "Everyone already knows you're fat, so you might as well."

The person who said this was mostly referring to wearing clothes, which at a point was one of my biggest insecurities :0 I wore a lot of baggy clothes and layer (granted I was also in a horrible spot in my transition and holding onto some harmful ideas about transness but that's a whole other thing).

But like, shawty had a point. And argument I came up with about "oh I don't want them to know I'm fat" or "I don't want my fatness to be noticed" was so null because... Like babe, they already know. And most decent people didn't gaf. And if they do start giving AF after I become more comfortable, after I wear and say the things I want, they were never decent people to begin with. And I'm not the bitch rebuilder, someone else being a cunt will never be my problem to solve. If people had a problem with me being fat, I'd imply ignore them.

So I started dressing pretty, and wearing the tight clothes I LIKED and showing off. Because I wasn't even ugly 😭 that was the real shame, hiding the innate beauty of my body for no good reason. And idk, I just got so much happier.

And I feel like that philosophy kinda ought to be echoed to a lot of people, in more than just what they wear. The neutrality of the statement that they already know, so why the hell not?

Oh you want another serving of food because you're hungry, but you're fat? Okay, well they already know, so you might as well.

You want to audition for some role, but you're worried because you're not small? Okay, well they already know, so you might as well.

There's someone you wanna shoot your shot with, but you don't know if you should because you're chubby? Bae, I'm sure they already know, soooo say it with me now, you might as well.

And ik this logic isn't gonna work for everyone. There are many factors that contribute to fatphobia, both internal and external. And as much as this way of thinking can help with confidence, I'm cognisant of the fact that they aren't the whole solution to the systemic issue of fat hate.

However, self acceptance and body neutrality can go a long way in making your inner world more full, and lead to those you keep in your outer world, the people you choose, being full, rich, accepting people in turn. After all, we have the rest of our lives to be in these bodies, to change and grow and figure out how to love in them, no reason not to ease some of the pressure in that existence. We might as well, right?

you have to be reasonable. have to see it from their perspective. but you can't be a doormat. nobody else will stand up for you but you. count five things you see. let your emotions happen. but only inside. don't fight them. but also don't be impulsive. don't react, plan. listen to wise mind. practice your coping skills. call a friend. but don't trauma dump. ask for help. but make sure you know exactly what you need. use your words. but don't feel entitled. understand that people have a lot going on. don't form expectations those are just premeditated resentments. but also don't go it alone. keep it together. have a cry. but only at the right times. it's okay to break down sometimes. but girl wash your face. take charge of your life. but make peace with the things you can't control. breathe. not that loud, you're making people uncomfortable. don't make other people responsible for how you feel. but don't keep it all stuffed inside. not seeking help will kill you, you know. but if you keep being so self-centered and selfish you'll drive everyone off. cut off people who don't treat you right. show yourself some self-respect. but don't have main character syndrome. understand that the center of the universe is not you. stop thinking about yourself so much. but go to therapy and work on yourself or nobody's gonna love you. overcome your trauma. but know and accept yourself. stop being so infantile. but stop acting like you're too old to change. take responsibility. stop apologizing so much. you have to guard your own peace. but if you're not worried by what's happening right now there must be something wrong with you.
