    Fat acceptance debunked

  2. Look… sometimes people get into a selfish rut and become fat, lazy or mean or anything else that is a bad quality in a human being. It happens, its not the end of the world. However, stop feeling sorry for yourself when people acknowledge that you have bad qualities. Live in the real world you fat idiots.

  3. Fat is ugly. Stop lying that it's okay to eat to much and get fat. You are to fat. Keep on going and soon you'll not be able to get out if bed .

  4. My partner is the skinny one loving me. I was skinny when we met and now I'm well fat. I say I'm too fat and he still says no your perfect they are my best friend and I am totally showing this poem

  5. 1.
    I say, "I am fat."
    He says "No, you are beautiful."
    I wonder why I cannot be both.
    He kisses me
    hard.

    2.
    My college theater professor once told me
    that despite my talent,
    I would never be cast as a romantic lead.
    We put on shows that involve flying children and singing animals,
    but apparently no one
    has enough willing suspension of disbelief
    to buy anyone loving a fat girl.

    3.
    On the mornings I do not feel pretty,
    while he is still asleep,
    I sit on the floor and check the pockets of his skinny jeans for motive,
    for a punchline,
    for other girls’ phone numbers.

    4.
    When we hold hands in public,
    I wonder if he notices the stares,
    like he is handling a parade balloon on a crowded sidewalk.
    I wonder if he notices how my hands are made of rope.

    5.
    Dear Cosmo: Fuck you.
    I will not take your sex tips
    on how to please a man
    that you do not think my body will ever be worthy of.

    6.
    He tells me he loves me with the lights on.

    7.
    I can cup his hip bones in the palm of my hands,
    feel his ribs without pressing very hard at all,
    sip wine from his collarbones
    He does not believe me when I tell him he is beautiful.
    Sometimes I fear the day he does is the day he leaves.

    8.
    The cute hipster girl at the coffee shop
    assumes we are just friends
    and flirts across the counter.
    I spend the next two weeks
    replacing my face with hers
    in all of our photographs.
    When I finally admit this
    we spend the whole night taking new pictures.
    He will not let me delete a single one.

    9.
    The phrase, “Big girls need love too,” can go die in a fire.
    Fucking me does not require an asterisk.
    Loving me is not a fetish.
    Finding me beautiful is not a novelty.
    I am not a novelty.

    10.
    I say, "I am fat."
    He says, "No. You are so much more,"
    and kisses me
    hard.

  6. This isn't relevant to this but

    my first thought when she said when I say I am fat he says no you are beautiful

    "I said I fat not ugly"

  7. I love how at the end, he learned. He went from “You’re not fat, you’re beautiful” to “You’re not fat, you’re so much more…” He knows that she is fat, big, thick, whatever you wanna say. He loves her that way. But he knows that she is more than that, no matter what the rest of the world sees.

  8. I was so absolutely in love with the father of my children. He was my everything. And he was somewhere between 350 – 400 lbs.

  9. This feels more like a list of complaints, not any social commentary. I hope she finds love and learns to love herself. ?

  10. Sounds to me like you have way too many insecurities that you need to work on instead of projecting them onto your partner which will in turn, push him away.

  11. this lady died of heart disease from being obese. lmao instead of writing stupid ass poems she shoulda been jogging.

  12. "while he is still asleep…. I check the pockets of his jeans for other girls phone numbers".
    That is so creepy and invasive… sounds like a good way to destroy a perfectly good relationship.

  13. As a guy this is the funniest bullshit I’ve ever heard.
    Better title: Insecure delusions from a woman who doesn’t care about herself.
