There is no wrong way to have a body.
Excuse me while I throw this down, I’m old and cranky and tired of hearing the idiocy repeated by people who ought to know better.
Real women do not have curves. Real women do not look like just one thing.
Real women have curves, and not. They are tall, and not. They are brown-skinned, and olive-skinned, and not. They have small breasts, and big ones, and no breasts whatsoever.
just a friendly reminder that looks can be deceiving! :)
a girl messaged me about a week ago on dailybooth and said, “if I had your face, my life would be complete.”
and I couldn’t help but think, “well, if I actually looked like that, then my life would probably be complete too.”
but I don’t.
I don’t think you guys realize how much of my appearance (and most girls on the internet’s appearances) is just straightened hair, pretty makeup, and push-up bras.
I don’t like showing myself without makeup because I feel ugly. but I also don’t like taking compliments that I don’t really deserve, so I wanted to show you guys the difference between fresh-out-the-shower sarah, and all-dolled-up sarah.
granted, I don’t do myself up like that every day; I haven’t got the time or the energy. most days I just look like this.
I had an anon earlier who said nobody notices her because she isn’t “tumblr pretty.”
well anon, most girls aren’t. you just have to fake it til you make it.
that is, sadly, how the world works.

the female form.: I have no patience for people who think that health has to 'look' a certain way.
Fuck fitspo.
‘Cut’ abs and muscular legs are not the only way to be healthy.
Do you see this picture? ALL of these women are Olympians, and all of them are healthy.
What about Holley Mangold?
She’s 374lbs. No, you can’t see her abs. But she just got into the…

It would be really nice if there was a television show out there where every single person had shitty teeth. Not perfect, bright white teeth. Shitty, cracked, discolored, missing teeth. Teeth that are rough around the edges, teeth that aren’t…

I’m fairly sure that I’ve seen the entire Avengers movie through Tumblr GIFs. Who needs to go to the theater anymore? Tumblr has me covered. Thanks, Tumblr!

I love to belly dance, though I don’t do it professionally, and I’m not that great. My Wifey is a talented dancer, who introduced me to it, and I’ve been taking a weekly dance class for fun and relaxation for a few years now. When I started this class I came in standard fat girl work out gear, long pants and a giant t-shirt. My dance teacher, a 70+ Turkish retired pro dancer, suggested I tuck up my shirt (above my belly) and tie a scarf under my bulge. I was initially very skeptical, not having worn a bikini or midriff shirt since I was 15, but her only retort was
“Belly dancing is about moving you body and you belly, how can you do if you can’t see it?”
This was not a revelation to me, but it was a difficult first step, and the beginning of an amazing relationship with my bellyfat. Dancing has taught me how to use and move each band of muscle down my abdomen. When I saw myself static, I was always perturbed by my belly, I wore shapers and girdles and “flattering” clothes to hide what I saw as an inconvenience. But in dance my bulging bellyfat was a fantastic instrument - a natural accessory - an integral part of each move. What was once a portion of my body to be hidden, became a celebrated source of pride in my dancing ability and appearance.
Through the years my weight has fluctuated, I used to diet and sometimes I would have great success, but it was always bitter sweet in dance class. Shimmying in a size 10 I have very little body fat left to jiggle, but a shimmy in a size 20 ripples gloriously across every fleshy part of my body, accentuating each curve, enhancing each angle and exaggerating every muscle twitch. As a skinnier dancer I am one in a million, just another hobbyist.
But as a fat dancer I am a GODDESS

No, you can’t deny women their basic rights and pretend it’s about your ‘religious freedom.’ If you don’t like birth control, don’t use it. Religious freedom doesn’t mean you can force others to live by your own beliefs.

Kickass Dad of the Day: When Stuart Chaifetz learned that his 10-year-old son, Akian, was being violent and disruptive in class, he was puzzled. He knew Akian, who has autism, to be mild-mannered and sensitive, and had a hunch that something more was going on. But after several meetings with a team of school officials created to help special-needs students, nothing changed. So Chaifetz did what any concerned parent would do.
On the morning of Friday, February 17, 2012, I wired my son and sent him to school. That night, when I listened to the audio my life changed forever. I heard my son being bullied by his teacher and aide. The six and a half hours of audio I had proved that my son wasn’t hitting the teacher because there was something wrong with him — he was lashing out because he was being mocked, mistreated and humiliated. His outbursts were his way of expressing that he was being emotionally hurt at school.
The New Jersey father has since launched a website full of damning evidence and aFacebook page, and he is petitioning the state to change legislation so that teachers who bully children are immediately fired. The aide has been fired, but the rest of the staff have merely been relocated.
“I seek a full and public apology from all those adults who were in my son’s class for what they did to him,” Chaifetz says. “It is also far past time that these issues are allowed to be hidden from public view.”
