1
00:00:00,652 --> 00:00:04,151
When I look at the word diet, I see the word die. Die-et.

2
00:00:04,151 --> 00:00:07,825
We've noticed that it's really powerful to see um,

3
00:00:07,825 --> 00:00:12,591
more than one fat body enjoying each others company in public.

4
00:00:12,591 --> 00:00:16,222
And, um, I think initally people are too intimidated to say anything

5
00:00:16,222 --> 00:00:20,784
but occasionally you'll get people who will make comments


6
00:00:20,784 --> 00:00:25,008
Uh, I just think it's really intimidating for people to see fat bodies together,


7
00:00:25,008 --> 00:00:26,727
it's really powerful.


8
00:00:26,727 --> 00:00:31,117
So, it feels good to stop outside the box and wear things 


9
00:00:31,117 --> 00:00:33,858
that's not the norm as a larger woman.

10
00:00:33,858 --> 00:00:37,098
And get compliments for it because you rock it a certain way.

11
00:00:47,983 --> 00:00:54,553
Fat style is um, one of the biggest ways I believe you can be politcal as a fat body.


12
00:00:54,553 --> 00:00:57,477
I get negative feedback quite a bit on the street.

13
00:00:57,477 --> 00:01:00,468
I was walking home

14
00:01:00,468 --> 00:01:02,232
and a woman called me a "fat piggy bitch",

15
00:01:02,232 --> 00:01:04,159
which just seemed, like, ludicrous to me

16
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:07,391
because I didn't even irritate her in any way,

17
00:01:07,391 --> 00:01:09,346
but by purely existing

18
00:01:09,346 --> 00:01:11,921
she felt it was necessary to take me down.

19
00:01:11,921 --> 00:01:15,011
Fat acceptance is just accepting your body where it's at, yknow?

20
00:01:15,011 --> 00:01:17,345
Whether you're bigger or you're smaller,

21
00:01:17,345 --> 00:01:18,488
just accepting what it is,

22
00:01:18,488 --> 00:01:21,612
your arms, your double chin, your thighs, you know?

23
00:01:21,612 --> 00:01:24,289
And just not worrying about, y'know,

24
00:01:24,289 --> 00:01:25,965
how people may view you,

25
00:01:25,965 --> 00:01:28,426
or how much calories you're eating,

26
00:01:28,426 --> 00:01:30,942
just living life and enjoying yourself

27
00:01:30,942 --> 00:01:32,968
and not limiting yourself.
