That just… completely made my day. I’m completely amazed, because a couple of years ago, this would have greatly offended me. I’m glad that I’ve come to a point in my life where I can accept myself as a big girl, and have a sense of humor about it. Thinking about it… if I was ever offered the chance to be a skinny girl, I don’t think I’d go for it. I have always been and always will be a big girl. My bone structure dictates that of me and that’s not something that I can change. It’s taken me almost twenty-two years, but I think I’ve finally accepted that. It makes me happy, because my curves finally make me feel sexy. I want my big hips and my big chest, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. My fitness goals are no longer to be that skinny chick that I’ve always idealized, but to instead be healthy.
This year has already had a lot of promise, and I just… feel this swell of joy because I know that so many good things are still to come.
One of the good things to come is that I finally was able to book my tattoo appointment with Trevor, and I was able to secure my birthday. The tattoo itself is going to take multiple sessions; one for line work and the other for colour/shading. When it’s done, it should span my entire right forearm. I’m really excited, because Trevor is an amazing artist and I know from his excitement about the design, he’s going to do some good work for me. The design I settled on is the “Draco Rosa” from Alchemy Gothic. This is what it looks like:
Not the highest quality image, but I just fell in love with it. Hopefully this will be the first tattoo in a series of many with Trevor… we click and I can converse with him, which was something I didn’t have with Tuesday or Brian. I like to feel comfortable with my artist, not judged.
Heck yeah! Let’s hear it for curvy girls! The whole “lets all be a size zero” thing really makes me want to puke. I’m proud of you for seeing that being healthy is the more important choice.
You’re a beautiful girl anyway, so why are you worried!
Oh my gosh, that parody WAS hilarious — Plus, the tune was catchier than the original, LMAO! I loved the ‘Yum yum yum’ bits the best, I think. XD;
Unfortunately, I can’t really relate with you on the whole accepting your body type as it is thing … I have a history of anorexia nervosa, and while I’ve pretty much managed to recover myself from the disorder, I still have points where I become absolutely terrified when I step on the scale and find out I gained half a pound from the day before.
Trust me, though, I know it’s pathetic. I love the idea of being able to simply accept all different body types, and when it comes to OTHER people’s bodies I’m totally in agreeance … But with myself, I’m pretty much fucked in the head.
Unfortunately it also gets worse in the winter months for me, since I can’t just go ride my bike for twenty minutes if I feel I overate. Bleh.
But anyway, I apologise for rambling, lol.
I think it’s awesome that you’ve finally decided to simply accept you as you!
