I see things like this on the fitspo tag all the time: “to prove them all wrong” or “to see his face when he realizes that you got hot.”
Guys, there are mean people in this world. There will always be those people, no matter what you look like. And there will be guys and girls who will break your heart. F**** them, they’re not worth changing YOUR body over. If you change, change yourself to become the best version of you.
Yoga Pants - Margaret Cho for Miss Representation
Margaret cho is basically one of my favourite people ever. In this video she talks about her own experience with her eating disorder
Can’t stress this enough.
Think you know The Biggest Loser? Did you know they abuse their contestants to the point that they develop serious injuries and eating disorders? You NEED to read this three-part interview with finalist Kai Hibbard. Here’s a little excerpt:
“Heather, on my season, was told by the medical trainer, not one of the personal trainers, … ‘Here’s the deal, both your knees are messed up, and I believe you ripped your calf muscle.’ So he told the trainer that too but when you watch the show, Heather’s arguing with our trainer and saying, ‘Look, I can’t do it.’ And they made it look like it’s because she’s lazy and refuses to work out, when actually she’s been told by the doctors, ‘Do not run, do not do this, you cannot do this.’ And production and her personal trainer wanted her to do it anyway, just for the cameras. And when she refused to do it for the cameras because it would have damaged her body even more (she ended up needing steroid shots in both knees while we were still there by the way) it was edited to make her look like she was lazy and disobedient, basically. So then you’ve got the 22 million Americans that watch it thinking that you’re this horrible, lazy, ungrateful person. And she literally got death threats on the NBC web site. I just have people that tell me stuff like, I’m ugly when I cry, or I’m lazy. She got death threats.”
I highly recommend that everyone read these articles and sign the petition to stop the kid version of the show. Doing this to adults is bad enough, but most kids won’t even be able to attempt to fight back under these circumstances. It could wreck them for life.
I’d like to close with a little shout out to all those who have gotten on my case and sent me hate for calling The Biggest Loser dehumanizing and dangerous. I stand by every word I’ve said. This show needs to be stopped.
I listened to the podcast yesterday actually, and it was very eye opening. I knew they did really horrible stuff, but it breaks my heart that they dehumanize them so much. Every time they “got out of line” for being treated like shit, people on the set would say “you’re so lucky to be here though. There’s 200,000 others who want your spot” to make them quiet. It’s disgusting and so dangerous.
Saw this in a magazine…To everyone who thinks becoming skinny will be the solution to everything. You still have to love yourself first no matter what the number says on the scale.
Remember ladies, nobody cares about your personality.
I keep seeing the first image floating around tumblr, and people are actually believing that it’s real.
Yeah it’s not.
It’s amazing how much can change in a year
I thought I’d do a full body before and after for the first time in ages. Anyways, I don’t have any photos of me in a dress when I weighed 350 pounds— I didn’t wear anything that didn’t cover the ‘necessities’.
The photo on the left is a photo of me right before my prom— in 2011. I’d just found out that day that I’d lost 100 pounds and I was wearing my first dress since my 8th grade graduation.
The photo on the right is a photo of me in early October of this year weighing around 200 pounds. I’d purchased this dress when I was about 15 pounds heavier. I was also feeling really super duper ashamed and self-conscious of my legs. And I was suffering a blow to my weight loss progress— as I had recently gained. Alas, I was trying to stick it to the weight loss man and feel good about myself— so I got a little angsty.
Aw Brynn you’re so cute.
Latest progress in my journey to get a better body instead of being “skinny fat” with no definition. 10 months down and many more to go.
Age: 25
Height 5ft 11
Weight: 179lb unchanged throughout.
I’m really sick of seeing weight loss blogs reblog these pants. I don’t support “thinspiration.” (Partially because the word itself annoys me, but mostly because you shouldn’t focus on “thin.” You should focus on “healthy” and/or “fit.”) I support inspiration, I support motivation, and I support visualization. But if you’re aspiring to be a skeleton, you’re aspiring for a death wish.
Depends on how long you’ve been awake really. It’s not really too late if you plan on going to bed in a while (since it is the weekend). If you’re going to bed right after you may have more trouble sleeping because it can make people more awake.
It’s up to you really. I don’t think it’s too late as long as you aren’t bothering anyone.
WHY ISNT THERE AN EASY WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT
Fuck these bullshit diet products. Seriously. Fuck them.
