00:00:00.652 --> 00:00:04.151
When I look at the word diet, I see the word die. Die-et.

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

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

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

00:00:16.222 --> 00:00:20.784
but occasionally you'll get people who will make comments


00:00:20.784 --> 00:00:25.008
Uh, I just think it's really intimidating for people to see fat bodies together,


00:00:25.008 --> 00:00:26.727
it's really powerful.


00:00:26.727 --> 00:00:31.117
So, it feels good to stop outside the box and wear things 


00:00:31.117 --> 00:00:33.858
that's not the norm as a larger woman.

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

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.


00:00:54.553 --> 00:00:57.477
I get negative feedback quite a bit on the street.

00:00:57.477 --> 00:01:00.468
I was walking home

00:01:00.468 --> 00:01:02.232
and a woman called me a "fat piggy bitch",

00:01:02.232 --> 00:01:04.159
which just seemed, like, ludicrous to me

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.391
because I didn't even irritate her in any way,

00:01:07.391 --> 00:01:09.346
but by purely existing

00:01:09.346 --> 00:01:11.921
she felt it was necessary to take me down.

00:01:11.921 --> 00:01:15.011
Fat acceptance is just accepting your body where it's at, yknow?

00:01:15.011 --> 00:01:17.345
Whether you're bigger or you're smaller,

00:01:17.345 --> 00:01:18.488
just accepting what it is,

00:01:18.488 --> 00:01:21.612
your arms, your double chin, your thighs, you know?

00:01:21.612 --> 00:01:24.289
And just not worrying about, y'know,

00:01:24.289 --> 00:01:25.965
how people may view you,

00:01:25.965 --> 00:01:28.426
or how much calories you're eating,

00:01:28.426 --> 00:01:30.942
just living life and enjoying yourself

00:01:30.942 --> 00:01:32.968
and not limiting yourself.
