We presented our brand new “Queer Desirability & Fatness” workshop at the first National Gay-Straight Alliance Summit in Toronto and the response was overwhelming!! Doing workshops like these with youth just shows us how incredibly necessary and important it is to create spaces for folks to talk about body shame, self-love and fatphobia in a safe and supportive environment.
If you would like to book It Gets Fatter to present a workshop in your school, community centre, or non-profit organization, email us at itgetsfatterproject@gmail.com

Summer in the desert is much easier when you love flaunting your body.

It’s really weird having to come to terms with your fatness. When you live in a world where you’re only being shown one body type. Your own body seems foreign to you, your mind shapes your own vision of yourself into something you believe is more acceptable. In my mind, I’m at least 4 dress sizes smaller, but I walk past a shop window, see a picture taken of me and I’m forced to see myself, the actual way I look. Every time this happens, I have to realise all over again that I’m far bigger than I think, less acceptable than my mind brings me to believe. Body dysmorphia happens both ways, it’s not always a thin person seeing themselves as a bigger person, the opposite happens too. A fat person can see themselves as thinner because this is what we’re meant to look like, and if we feel no different to everyone else, surely we look the same too? This is why normalizing normal bodies is such an important thing to do, we need to see other people that look like us so we can associate our size with ourselves. Without that, we live in some kind of limbo between feeling like a ‘normal’ person, but our reflections show what everything else it telling us, which is that we are quite the opposite.

hi! im Fachda 21 years old going 22 this month :p from indonesia. this is my first submition :) My body isn’t even close to the perfect bodies. My boobs are too small but My body are too big.I have stretch marks and ugly scar. i take some time to realize that what you might see as negative about your body is actually a turn on for many guys. Don’t be so self conscious about certain parts of your body. You are a lot harder on yourself then anyone will ever be, and that no one is going to focus on it like you will. And realize that you’re not going to be attractive to every single guy in the world, because every guy is different. Even the most beautiful girl in the world isn’t going to be attractive to every guy. You don’t need to be attractive to every single guy, you just need to be attractive to one good one… Be proud,be confident,be YOU.That’s the greatest thing you could ever accomplish
