My mission:
All sizes are beautiful! Don't be ashamed of your number or keep it from living your life and doing what you love. There is no perfect or wrong size. It doesn't determine our worth and nobody has the right to judge someone's health by their size. So let's show the world that every size can be happy and that we are not ashamed!
How to participate:
I would love to see all different sizes represented in this link up. Whether you are a 0 or 32, participate! This is a weekly feature so each link up will be open for one week. You can add your link anytime during the week. All genders, sexes and non-genders are welcome to join in. Use whatever sizing you are most familiar with. You can link up with me every week with a new post or join in every once in a while! The rules are simple. Post a photo of yourself on your blog, feeling confident. Post a full body shot, so head to toe! State your size in your blog post or with a graphic on your photo. No diet talk, weight loss talk, negativity or any type of body shaming allowed. This is about being happy with your size and shape, not because it is socially acceptable, healthy or better than others. Then come back here and add your link using the link tool at the end of this post.

I'm hot and heavy because I fight for my rights as a fat woman. I stood up to my employer when they wanted to charge me a fee for the circumference of my waist. I confront my doctor when they refuse to treat me. I live out loud. My hair is short and fashion rules don't exist. I share my life, experiences, emotions and image with the world so that all fat bodies can be seen as beautiful and good. I don't ever apologize for any of my 300+ pounds or pear shape. My size doesn't stop me from getting tattoos, dying my hair bright purple, doing yoga or laying on the beach in a bikini. I order dessert and and make love because I'm hot and heavy.
Get rid of the hate you have towards your body and proclaim your size!

Wow - somehow I missed your first post on the healthcare thing. That is just hideous! I can't believe that your employers can and will have access to such information and that they will use that to punish you financially.
In the UK we don't tend to pay for healthcare - it's paid for as part of our taxes. There have been similar drives to charge people who smoke or drink or who are overweight as after all "It's their own fault they're ill". Thankfully, the nutjobs don't run the country (at least I hope).
I just can't quite believe the injustice of this. I really can't. Totally speechless.

You are an inspiration!
I love those pants--the buttons rock! Also, your hair is gorgeous, and that sweater just accents how completely gorgeous that shade of purple red is :-)
Amen to that!!!!
I love these posts! In my opinion they get better every week. If I had a blog, I'd link up... But for now, I am a lurker lol I have had a hard time accepting my post-baby body, but your posts (and others) really make me feel like it's ok to be me and look the way that I do. After all, I DID create a life :) Thank you for being so inspirational and for being you! (Makes me wish I knew you IRL)
You look adorable!
I love your pants :]
This is the most perfect and wonderful thing I've read in such a long time
You're such an inspiration, such a brave smart talented beautiful woman, and I'm so glad I follow you
I love your pear pin. I want one. You inspired me to go on ebay, but I couldn't find anything close. I will have to keep my eyes open at the thrift store.
I saw another one at another thrift store too! I will keep an eye out for it and buy it if I see it so I can send it to you.

Oh, that would be awesome! As long as it doesn't cost too much. I could paypal you, but I am an unemployed grad student, so my budget is verrry small. :-)
