BBW here.....

I struggled with self acceptence for many years, and one day I woke up and realized.

I'm pretty, I'm fat, and I'm proud.

So from one BBW to another I say hello and Happy Hump Day.

I would totally make a remark about the thread getting "so much action", but I don't want to get scolded by a moderator. Well, I guess that depends on which moderator. Maybe I *do* want to get scolded.

Anyway, I posted this link in one of the other threads but I thought those who frequent this one might also enjoy this photographer's work: http://www.fatbottomboudoir.com/.


--Slater, who for some reason always thinks ScandalAndy lives in Oklahoma and could not figure out why she was talking about the earthquake

I love this link........Thank you for posting it......I see a photo session in my future.

OMG Slater, you make me laugh!!! :) Thank you for noticing that i do not, in fact, live in Oklahoma, teehee! I intend to rag on you about this in October!

I'm all for a good scolding, so I will take full credit on interpreting this thread "getting action" in all kinds of naughty ways!

Thank you so much for the link! Do you follow Adipositivity at all? I'm a fan of her work. And if you click on my photo gallery, you'll see I'm already a fan of bbws in photo shoots. They're freaking empowering and, in my case, help me think better about myself. I encourage everyone to try it out!

I'm another Adipositivity fan.

You are beautiful inside and out Abigail, never forget that :rrose:

I think we could make alot of remarks in these threads but sometimes we just have to bite our tongues and chuckle to ourselves ~ I know its hard but sometimes we just gotta do it :)

PSHAW, I SAY!!!

I have been to this thread a couple of times, I am bbw and I still cant accept it.

Can you accept part of it?

I know for me, personally, I still cannot accept my stomach but I've gotten better with everything else. I started with my breasts, luckily they get a lot of attention and i added to that by agreeing to be a shot girl, where they get to be front and center. I was nervous and thought it was too much, but after I got over that, I realized that i had at least one part of me that was super hot. Then i thought, "well, if i have one good part, maybe I have more". From there I started trying to be nicer to myself when looking at my butt. I started looking at other butts and realizing that it's hard to get such a nice round curve! There was something I could do that others couldn't, so I praised myself for it.

Little by little I'm working on accepting the things that others tell me are wrong. it takes time, and lots of repetition, and sometimes you have good and bad days, but you can do it. I know you can. I believe in you.

Lord knows its not my boobs, they are great the way they are... its my stomach everything else is portioned right....

grrrrrrrrl, your stomach is just fine!!! you have awesome boobs and a cute butt! What are you doing worrying about a little belly?

It's good to have a tummy because it gives your butch someplace comfy to put their head while you run your fingers through their hair. :)

I'm sure others have done it before but I would *love* to get into photography to be able to take beautiful pictures of big femmes, butches, FTM's and anyone else bbw who would want to take part in it .......... I think big bodies are simply beautiful and should be shown off at every opportunity :D

I do love the way your mind works lol ;)

I am proud to say here that you are a beautiful woman, all of you, and I know you have a hard time accepting it but honey your *perfect* exactly as you are :rrose:

I know I'm a bigger guy and believe Me, I have quite alot of weight issues too but I'm slowly learning to accept Myself for who I am and its very empowering. Having been made fun of by people about My weight and having dealt with constant teasing during all of My school years it caused Me to close up and build a wall around Me that protected Me against that hurt (which is alot of why I'm so shy and reserved). I'm getting more okay all the time with being big, now all I have to do is get top surgery to get rid of these "man boobs" and I'll officially be all set :D

Yes those boobs are great, and so is the rest of you darlin :)

Okay so I know I just quoted a bunch of things but I HAD to quote this too because, well, damnit I just had to :D

I would rather go for a girl with awesome boobs and a cute butt anyday, all I can say is yummy yummy **drooooooooooooooool**

And I will admit I'm a BIG time sucker for somewhere to lay My head, between a nice comfy set of boobs and a soft stomach I'd say thats being spoiled to Me but I digress **sigh**

hahaha you are only saying that because i dated you lol silly goose

Its the truth honey, yes I am biased but I don't care lol I'm damn proud of the fact that we dated and I know just how beautiful you are so I can brag all I want :D

I'm seriously thinking about going through all y'all's photos to tell you what is awesome about each and every one of you. F'realz, I will. I feel yucky when people get down on themselves because they get so caught up in one thing they don't like that they just shove all the great stuff about themselves off in a corner and that's not fair.

I know its not fair and I try My hardest not to do that, but unfortunately when all you've heard all your life are things like your fat/unworthy etc after awhile you tend to believe it because it becomes second nature. I spent My entire childhood and teenage school years being teased and tormented because of My size, and I often went home crying due to the hell I experienced. And as much as I love My dad, he doesn't help either but unfortunately due to lack of funds I have to live with him for now (thank goodness for My mom and sister keepin Me sane). One day I will believe that I'm not the person everyone makes fun of Me for but it is hard ~ in two weeks once My sister is back in school I'm taking My life back!!!! :-)

Do you still get angry every time someone says something mean to/about you? If you answered yes, then there's still fight left in ya, and still a part that says "NO FLIPPING WAY, YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT ME!". Embrace it, you know inside that they are wrong, and you are worth caring for.
