To me, being body positive means being unapologetic. I’m fat and have been my whole life. Fat people
have been told to feel ashamed of themselves. To be sorry for the space we take up, for how we dress/
do not dress ourselves, how we got fat, for existing. The body positive movement has made a space
for anyone who has ever been made to feel bad about themselves. The media does a fantastic job of
making people feel inadequate. Body positivity demands equality and radical self-love. Until we live in
a society that welcomes and celebrates differences, we must celebrate our own.
