Made of ivory and gold

[S]hame is not a catalyst for change; it is a paralytic. Anyone who has ever carried extreme personal shame knows this. Shame doesn’t make you stronger, nor does it help you to grow, or to be healthy, or to be sane. It keeps you in one place, very, very still.

What’s Wrong With Fat-Shaming? | xoJane (via machinery)

This is so very true. I hate it when people make nasty comments about fat people and then say ‘but maybe if they realise everyone thinks they’re ugly they’ll lose weight and get healthy!’ No. Fuck you. First of all, it’s not your business if someone is fat, maybe they are completely happy and confident with their body and even if they’re not, if you’d actually want to help them you could maybe try just being supportive if they express any interest in losing weight and not using your misplaced ‘concern’ as an excuse to make fun of someone.

The reason I am successfully losing weight now is because I am feeling confident and quite happy with the way I look. I know that may sound like a paradox, but I am quite sure that’s how it works for many people
