Thanks I’m glad you like the photo! I was nervous about posting it publicly for so long but when I did it I was met with all this incredible feedback.
While I agree that we need more representation of the true diversity of body types, I don’t know if it would be a cure-all for eating disorders like anorexia because from my readings it’s quite a complex disorder. I think it’s important to be part of a community of people supporting other people and questioning the damaging things we’re taught about which bodies are sexy and acceptable.
Disability e-high five! It’s only been recently that I’ve realised I’m not an able bodied person and it’s been a similar journey to how I came to be ok with my fat body. For me, they’re pretty entwined with each other actually!
Anyhoo, nice to meet you Lili!!
