"My fat body is not a representation of my failures, sins, or mistakes. My fat body is not an indication of my level of health or fitness. My fat body is not up for public discussion, debate or judgment. My fat body is not a signal that I need help or input to make decisions about my health or life. My fat body is the constant companion that helps me do every single thing that I do every second of every day and it deserves respect and admiration."

WEIGHT DOES NOT INDICATE HEALTH
AND MY HEALTH IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS"

Last Wednesday I spoke at SDSU to a group of nutrition students on a social history of fatness. Chris made this vine of me, and you can see the resource document I made here.

#history of fatness
Quote 117
Notes
"My fatness doesn’t exist in a vacuum. People care about my fat body because we have created these invisible structures like capitalism, misogyny, and colonialism that teach us what bodies are good and what bodies are bad. The problem is, they’re wrong. Hundreds of years of human history has gotten it wrong. The reason why people have issues with my body is not because my body is bad. As Glenn Marla says, there is no wrong way to have a body. So instead of getting upset at my body for not fitting into the thin ideal, I let myself get really angry at ubiquitous and yet faceless rich, white men who have created these social structures. That anger often ignites my determination to wear a tank top and proudly display my fat arms and hairy armpits. That’s right rich, white men: look at my body and be afraid."

My response when Virgie Tovar asked me my big secret to my relationship with my body in an article for Everyday Feminism. (via fatsmartandpretty)

Hi Everyone!

The It Gets Fatter Project is a Toronto/Montreal-based body positivity project started by fat people of colour, for fat people of colour! We would really love to send Asam to represent us at the NOLOSE Conference in July that takes place in Portland.

We have received partial funding for registration and lodging, however we need your generous support for us to be able to attend.

Please donate ANYTHING you can! If you an ally and can afford it, this is a great way to support the project. If you donate $20 or more, you will get 3 buttons designed by us!

If we are not able to raise the total amount, your donations will go to other It Gets Fatter endeavours in the future.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

XOXO

It Gets Fatter!
