Wordpress Post - On Pants and Fat Shaming

[ecto_gammat]

New WP post. I believe the title says it all, but if you believe this post deserves a trigger warning, please let me know and I'll add one.

*Hugs* Way to go for telling your mum off. I've never had a problem with my body, but a whole lot of other people apparently have. And I have this weird paranoia that other people think I don't look good - not that I don't look good, just that other people are judging me. Blegh. World needs less people.

Also: fucking thigh seams. I destroy those all the freaking time. You would think that areas of friction would be reinforced in some way.

Amen to the thigh seams. My pants last about a year before holes start wearing, and that should be at least double that >

Mine are getting to about that life, though it was worse back when I was addicted to wearing cargo pants - denim just holds up so much better. Though, a friend who knows too much about clothing once told me that jeans are only designed to last about four months. Balls to that.

[ecto_gammat]

Maybe four months when we were riding horses, rustling cattle, and herding sheep. Jeeze. I always thought denim was designed to be worn repeatedly without washing and still hold up well. I don't know, but I feel like if i google it, I'll end up in a sea of links o___O

Congratulations on not letting your mom shame you about your weight and on being able to tell her off. I'm definitely with you on FA being a learning experience - I still have a lot of difficulty applying said acceptance to myself, but I think I'm doing fairly well in applying it to others. No one deserved to be shamed or discriminated against for their fucking weight

I get so jealous of the fats in that comm. I could never dress that awesome, nor do I think I'd rock the outfit nearly as hard as they do =P

I try not to look into eating disorder references, because they can trigger the hell out of me if I'm in a certain mood. I suppose I'd suggest checking out the NEDA site and ed_recovery (open membership).

Also, icon love ♥

I understand. I probably should have rephrased that better. Sorry. >_< Thank you for the suggestions, though. ♥

I know, right? They always look amaaaazing.

I'm totally trying to live up to that icon. (Which sort of reminds me - did I talk to you about the Amanda Palmer/fat shaming thing that happened a month or so back? Oh lord, that made me rage.)

[ecto_gammat]

It's all gravy ♥

I don't remember anything about it. But then again, I don't pay attention to Amanda Palmer. What happened?
