Just An FA

My mother hates having her picture taken. I mean, hates it so much that, I think I have MAYBE a dozen photos of her of 62yrs of life. She grew up fat shamed every single day and even now, when she isn’t obese, she still can’t take pics, or look at herself lovingly in the mirror. I use to be the same way, and in all honesty there are a lot of times I don’t like the way I look in pictures or how I look in the mirror. But I remind myself that is normal. We have those moments, when we see ourselves through other people’s or society’s eyes. I never stay in that place for too long. It’s important to bring myself back to center. Remembering my value to ME. I may not alway like the way I look, but I like who I am, and when I recognize that, I can see my beauty. Don’t let outside forces cause you to life a life undocumented because of how others see you. Shout out to the amazing @clknight75 she was the photographer.

It has been a crazy busy day for me today, hope everyone’s weekend is starting off on the right foot. New podcast dropping later tonight!!

Pleasantly Plump hasn’t had a chance to weigh in for quite some time and is nervous to step on the scale. She talks a bit about the different factors that impact her weight and overall size - medications, her short stature, her mobility issues, swelling, etc, before finally working up the courage to step on to the scale. She weighs in and reflects on the results. She also uses this opportunity to fulfill a personal fantasy of hers- weighing her massive belly!
