Thursday's Ponderous Thoughts

Is Height-Weight Proportionate a thing anymore? I'm curious because I've been called out for my shape-size-stature (all 160 centimeters of me) in recent years. I never heard comments regarding my shape-size-stature back in the days when ... well, more people were HWP. I'm not even sure I understand what Body Positivity means. I am positive I have a body (which is a cumbersome thing, by the way), but I reckon the term means self-acceptance. I do believe you need to love yourself because humans are flimsy creatures and to whom/what they claim loyalty frequently shifts. Just because you refrain from berating yourself, however, doesn't give you license to kill yourself with kindness. Want to make changes in how to navigate this life? You know what to do.

 

Anyway, back to me. I've decided not to feel guilty anymore when I wear my size S clothing. I won't get defensive when called Stick Woman, or when my boss comments on the fact that I "obviously don't eat." I have more important things with which to be concerned. And so do you.
