When I look at the word diet, I see the word die. Die-et.

0:00:04.151,0:00:07.825
We've noticed that it's really powerful to see um,

0:00:07.825,0:00:12.591
more than one fat body enjoying each others company in public.

0:00:12.591,0:00:16.222
And, um, I think initally people are too intimidated to say anything

0:00:16.222,0:00:20.784
but occasionally you'll get people who will make comments[br]

0:00:20.784,0:00:25.008
Uh, I just think it's really intimidating for people to see fat bodies together,[br]

0:00:25.008,0:00:26.727
it's really powerful.[br]

0:00:26.727,0:00:31.117
So, it feels good to stop outside the box and wear things [br]

0:00:31.117,0:00:33.858
that's not the norm as a larger woman.

0:00:33.858,0:00:37.098
And get compliments for it because you rock it a certain way.

0:00:47.983,0:00:54.553
Fat style is um, one of the biggest ways I believe you can be politcal as a fat body.[br]

0:00:54.553,0:00:57.477
I get negative feedback quite a bit on the street.

0:00:57.477,0:01:00.468
I was walking home

0:01:00.468,0:01:02.232
and a woman called me a "fat piggy bitch",

0:01:02.232,0:01:04.159
which just seemed, like, ludicrous to me

0:01:04.159,0:01:07.391
because I didn't even irritate her in any way,

0:01:07.391,0:01:09.346
but by purely existing

0:01:09.346,0:01:11.921
she felt it was necessary to take me down.

0:01:11.921,0:01:15.011
Fat acceptance is just accepting your body where it's at, yknow?

0:01:15.011,0:01:17.345
Whether you're bigger or you're smaller,

0:01:17.345,0:01:18.488
just accepting what it is,

0:01:18.488,0:01:21.612
your arms, your double chin, your thighs, you know?

0:01:21.612,0:01:24.289
And just not worrying about, y'know,

0:01:24.289,0:01:25.965
how people may view you,

0:01:25.965,0:01:28.426
or how much calories you're eating,

0:01:28.426,0:01:30.942
just living life and enjoying yourself

0:01:30.942,0:01:32.968
and not limiting yourself.
