I've had my own struggles with weight obsession, but really, really - I've come out alright.
Not to mention, I'm pretty privileged in this area - as I am slender.
Still though, I will choose not to wear an outfit if I feel like it causes me to look heavier than I am. Something in me wanted people to know that I am slim.
There is this picture. It's of some famous musician, a man - wearing an evening gown & holding a purse. It's captioned by quote - he says he's not ashamed to dress as a woman because he doesn't find being a woman a shameful thing.
I appreciate that. A lot.
Then I realized, I don't think it is or should be a shameful thing to be any size or weight. I believe society is wrong to put more value and give more opportunity to individuals who are thinner.
So, I don't care any longer if an outfit makes me look larger. I'm not ashamed to appear heavier, because I don't think being heavier is a shameful thing.
