My name is Kelsey, I am 20 years old and this blog is dedicated to the promotion of positive body image and health! I love the way I am and I just want every person on this planet to be able to look in the mirror and LOVE what they see. Because we are all beautiful human beings no matter what our shape, size, race, or gender. I just want to inspire people to be good to their bodies and love themselves no matter what. Here I will document my own weight loss/healthful journey.

Always reblog for the fact that people need to realize that your disdain for a body part is completely irrational and totally in your head. Saying something like, “I hate my thighs” is wrong because without your thighs, you wouldn’t be able to stand or walk. Look at the real problem! You may hate the fat on your thighs but still, stop dwelling on such negative body thoughts. Hating any part of your body (fat included) is never going to change anything. Instead, love your body enough to exercise and eat right and I can guarantee you’ll have physical changes that you’ll love but more importantly, mental changes as well. Being healthy goes hand-in-hand with self-love. It’s hard to hate any part of you when you realize the good it’s doing. After all, my thighs may be big and chubby but they can carry me miles. And that’s something I could never hate them for.

Nobody is perfect.No body is perfect. 

Nobody is perfect.

No body is perfect. 

I see this picture of Marilyn and it makes me feel really wonderful. Sometimes I get down on myself when I see pictures of me and I think I look HUGE. When in reality… our bodies are quite similar. And I think she looks amazing. Then I realize how dumb I am getting down on myself…

You can’t compete with this. 

You can’t compete with it because its not real. The person on the left is real. The person on the right is a creation of lighting and photoshop.
The person on the left is beautiful because she is real, unlike her edited counterpart.
Be realistic ladies and understand that what you see in magazines and on tv, isn’t always true.

This is so eye opening. Please look at this, EVERYBODY, and realize HOW INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE. Nobody looks like a model. “Models” don’t exist,

You know what I’m so sick of seeing? “Love your imperfections, be yourself, la la shits and rainbows” and then right next to that or in the same picture someone that would be considered “perfect” by society. and everyone says “love your flaws” but then just contradicting themselves! and i’m guilty of it too. but now its time for me to stop. i’ve complained about my body and my stretch marks but then said love yourself. so i’m going to stop and i’m going to straight up love me and my body. period. i want girls to see that you don’t have to be the ideal thing everyone wants to love yourself. here’s my body, my curves, my stretch marks, and you may think it is absoutley gross or think its the sexiest body, but i’m putting myself out here like this because i’m fed up. here is imperfection. and guess what. i am damn beautiful as is. i don’t need a jean size, a man, or number on the scale to tell me i’m beautiful. so here i am. all 170 pounds of me. stretch marks, big butt and all. please reblog this and spread the word!

p.s. if any girl or boy doesn’t want to be with you simply because they don’t like your body, don’t get discouraged, say FUCK them, you know why, because if they are going to be that shallow in the first place they aren’t even worth your time. you can find someone who loves you as you are, you shouldn’t have to change your body for someone to love you.

(and if you want to say anything about me being in this underwear, it is the EXACT same thing as being in a bikini on the beach.)

Listen to this girl. She has it right. <3 It takes SO MUCH courage to do a post like this and I am so happy for her and proud of her. And isn’t she gorgeous?

PS. FOLLOW HER. 

Amazing. Look at the cellulite on her legs. She has no fear. She is a warrior.

omg i tried on this crop top. and it looked awful because i’m too fat for it :p

Randomly came across this and recognized it as a crop that I have. So, I thought I’d share a fat chick in this crop top with you all. Because, quite frankly, I know it looks really good on both this body, and mine.


kyla you’re too freaking adorable.
