Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls | Jes Baker

I wish I had read this book 10 years ago. I wish this book had existed 10 years ago. I needed so much of what was in this book. I pretty much needed all of what was in this book. If you don‘t think you‘re pretty enough, skinny enough, big enough, small enough, (fill in the blank) enough... basically if you don‘t think you‘re enough for the world, a lover, yourself (so everyone), this book is for you. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics Everyone should read this book. This book should be required reading. This book is perfection.

GingerAntics Jes Baker is now my spirit animal, and I‘m pretty sure she‘s got a fairly solid world peace plan (hint: it involves more orgasms for everyone). 5y

Where was this 10 years ago?! I seriously needed this 10 years ago. I needed the whole story that came with this. It‘s been a REALLY long 10 years. (Don‘t ask why unless you really want to know. You‘ve been warned.)

Just on her love of burritos alone, I think we could be friends. Now I want a t-shirt that says “I‘m not pregnant. This is my burrito bump.”

This. Yup. I think the worst part of having a panic attack in the middle of Walmart (I swear the one we have access to has a portal to hell in it) is the depression that follows it when the adrenaline rush is over, you‘re taking stalk of the broken stuff, and you‘re thinking, ‘yup, it happened again. I suck as a person. I just failed at life.‘

I needed this. I seriously did. Part of me feels like I‘m not one of the people who gets to claim compassion fatigue because I don‘t “compassion” enough (if that makes sense), and then part of me feels like “yeah my mother had a stroke, I still fecking matter, thank you very much. I didn‘t just stop existing or having an autonomous existence 5 years ago.”

Branwen This is seriously inspiring 💙 5y

GingerAntics @Branwen right? I think we‘re always told “it‘s better do give than receive” and we‘re told to do for others first, especially if we‘re girls. (I‘m always surprised at how girls are told this so much more than boys.) It‘s amazing to really think about it and realise it actually makes NO sense. There is a reason you put your own oxygen mask on in the plane before you help someone else out theirs on. 5y

julesG Just wanted to write about the oxygen mask. Although, just because I know that I am the most important person in my life, doesn't mean that I always take care of myself first. I still have a long road ahead of me. 5y

GingerAntics @julesG you and me both. 😆 It doesn‘t help when most people still don‘t get it and want to tell you to just “have a servants attitude” and everything will be fine. 🙄 5y

Texreader I feel so fortunate I read The Virtue of Selfishness as a teenager and learned how much I can help others by helping myself. I didn‘t always remember that in my life and have had some big missteps along the way. But what an important thing to try to remember 5y

GingerAntics @Texreader there is a whole book on this? I think I may have to read it. 5y

Branwen @GingerAntics Yes, that is so true! It took my YEARS to be able to finally start saying 'no' to people. I just kept giving and giving of myself until I felt like a dry, wrung out sponge. I had just always been taught to always put others ahead of myself it wa 5y

Branwen @GingerAntics *it was completely brainwashing, you know? 5y

GingerAntics @Branwen it is, isn‘t it? It‘s horrible that we tell our little girls to just give and give and give. Boys aren‘t told this nearly as often. Then we all wonder why so many women end up staying in horrible relationships and the men their with don‘t see themselves as part of the issue. 5y

POP QUIZ TIME, KIDS!!! What are these symptoms caused by? (Answer in the comments under the spoilers tag. I promise I didn‘t spoil any part of the book for you.)
#jesbaker #thingsnoonewilltellfatgirls #shockingtruth

GingerAntics While this is frequently the cited list symptoms of being fat, this is actually the list of symptoms of yo-yo dieting. Overweight people who have not yo-yo dieted are shockingly free of these symptoms. Unfortunately, most overweight people have yo-yo dieted because society and doctors tell them to. Here's another dirty little secret: only 5-10% of dieters kept the weight off at the 3 year mark (this is also true for weight loss surgery). 5y
