Body size is NOT a disease. There are so many things that affect our well being! Chronic stress is a better predictor of whether somebody develops heart disease than weight is. And living in a larger body is STRESSFUL because of the rampant and socially acceptable fatphobia in our society. It’s not fat that kills, it’s fatphobia.

Weight loss is also often extremely dangerous. When we malnourish our bodies it jeopardizes our mental and physical health and can often be fatal. So, if we ACTUALLY valued wellbeing as a society, we wouldn’t be promoting weight loss as the cure-all.

The studies proclaiming the benefits of weight loss and the perils of fatness leave this out - weight loss is NOT sustainable. Also those studies are often written by pharmaceutical corporations selling weight loss drugs (that don’t work) for profit!! 😠THEY ARE GREEDY AND THEY FEED OFF OF FATPHOBIA AND US FEELING SHITTY ABOUT OUR BODIES! 😠

✨Dieting and weight loss goes totally against our brain’s wiring of KEEPING US ALIVE AND FUNCTIONING!✨

Weight cycling (when somebody loses weight bc they’re engaging in ED behaviors, gains it back because weight loss is not something the body can sustain and our survival mechanisms kick in when we attempt to starve ourselves, and then loses weight again bc society tells us that we’re failing as a human if we can’t lose weight and then the cycle repeats) is actually associated with a higher risk of death AND is associated with heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

📢 FATNESS IS NOT DANGEROUS, DIET CULTURE IS. 📢

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: who benefits from the idea that fat people are unhealthy?

ANSWER: the diet industry (mostly run by rich, white, cis hetero men) and literally nobody else

There is nothing wrong with you if you are struggling with an ED/if you want to lose weight. That makes TOTAL sense in a society that values thinness over all else. Knowing this stuff doesn’t necessarily make recovery any easier!

🌿Feeling Disposable -- Why You Shouldn't🤍

When I brought to a friend the other day about feeling disposable and how to feel better from it, they replied with this, "A number of years ago I learned that the reason why every single person was born exactly when, where, and how they were was because the world would not be able to exist for a second longer without them in it. Your presence and energy is important and needed." 🌿📦

This is for the Lesbians...

This is for the lesbians who grew up hating their masculinity or femininity because it felt like a performance or a mask. This is for lesbians who were angry and/or sad when they had to come to terms with not liking men. This is for lesbians who are or were disappointed in themselves for being gay. This is for the lesbians who are POC and don’t feel seen enough. This is for the lesbians who don’t ‘look’ or ‘dress’ lesbian and feel alienated because of it. This for the lesbians who do ‘look’ or ‘dress’ lesbian and feel like they stick out like a sore thumb because of it. This is for POC lesbians who feel unsafe in their surroundings and as a result do not desire to ‘look gay’ for other lesbians to recognize them. This is for lesbians who were traumatized by men or forced themselves in a relationship with one. This is for trans and non-binary lesbians who have their identities constantly questioned and invalidated. This is for lesbians who feel like their womanhood plays a large part in their lesbianism. This is for lesbians who don’t. This is for lesbians who take testosterone, wear chest binders, get top surgery/chest reductions, and/or get masculine haircuts. This is for lesbians with gender dysphoria. This is for lesbians who are jealous of men. This is for lesbians who wanted a childhood where they were free to be themselves. This is for you. I love you. You are amazing, things get better. I know that I am just a stranger behind a screen, but I am proud of you because I am you.

I know I have to be strong one to hold your heart closer to me than my own, I wish I didn't care so much.

Why do I care about things more deeply than everyone else, is this a curse or a blessing?

I dream of being free, flying through the air, absolutely nothing holding me back but then I look down & I see how the world really works so much emotions, so many unseen battles/lost souls. People say that it's not a big deal but I know for a fact that for those who are battling back with all their might for every second/every minute/hour & EVERY night/day. I see YOU, I see YOU & I acknowledge your existence & YOU matter, the powers that be put you here for a reason we may not know it but YOU matter to someone, even if we are not friends yet I care.

You Are Needed.

and, your presence is essential. you are needed-your passion, your heart, your mind, your creativity, your compassion, and your empathy. So, don't sit on the sidelines questioning your place. You belong, here. you are strong. you are here on purpose, for a purpose. So, do your best. lean into wisdom. take with you wise counsel. and, take action - whenever and however you can. That's all that is required of you. then, trust the Goodness of Life to bring the victory. There's a change coming, and, even in the messy - Your Presence Matters.

Please share! Heroine is getting more and more dangerous. The dope coming out of Philadelphia now contains Xylazine (*tranq*) as well as Fentanyl- both drugs are causing overdose after overdose on top of the regular overdoses from the heroine alone. Please share this flyer to warn people. It is beyond time to get clean! Please reach out for help if you are ready to start a new life of sobriety! You can do it! I believe in you! #therealwarondrugs #youmatter #subloxone #methadone #sobriety You got this! https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZO63FOA9e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

no one is like you

how can anyone be like YOU. not a single person is able to act and behave and have the same dreams and desires that YOU have. YOU are so unique and special, and it's time that YOU start to realize that for yourself. nothing can stand in your way except YOU, and I know this sounds like pointing blame on yourself, but it is also to make YOU recognize that YOU hold the power as well to create the opposite of that and get out of your own way. YOU can do this, and it is ok to step out of your way and allow your desires and dreams to come in with ease.
