couldn’t post this on youtube, wanted to get it out there. 

I got a lot of comments about my “duty” as a fat woman, to alert all of you that being fat is BAD! and that I should warn you all about the dangers of being overweight and apparently because I didn’t mention diabetes, or other fat related illnesses in my video, I’m automatically promoting obesity. NEWS FLASH! This video is about loving your body, it should REALLY go without saying that just because the girl in the video is obese, the message is wide enough to encompass ALL PEOPLE of ALL SIZES and ALL BODY TYPES. 

I’m sorry if you didn’t “get” the point and that seeing someone so openly challenge the idea that you can be beautiful and vibrant and HEALTHY as well as OVERWEIGHT made you mad. I didn’t make this video for you, and all of the fucked up comments ARE being deleted because like I said, YOU DONT MATTER! Don’t try and shame me into feeling like I to tell ANYONE that they’re going to die if they don’t lose weight, doesn’t the media, society and tumblr trolls do that EVERY day? If you ARE overweight I guarantee that you know about it and that someone has encouraged you to lose weight or to make a lifestyle change and if that works/worked for you then Im glad to hear about it. But don’t you try and turn this message into a promotion of something when in it’s simplest form it is a light to the people who have been in the dark suffering and hoping that one day they’ll be able to be treated like a human being instead of ridiculed infinitely like a child.
