Why do you get to decide who is fat or not?


Because Fat Frodo offered me the One Fat Ring and now I am a Fat Queen, beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night, Fat as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain. All shall love me and despair.

OR, alternatively, we have to have some parameters for submission to make sure we are not inundated with pictures of skinny people slouching down, grabbing their stomachs, and calling themselves fat.

How could I make a submission of a picture?


Go to fuckyeahfatpositive.tumblr.com. Click “submit” at the top of the page. Click “Submit a text post.” A drop down box will appear; click on “Submit a photo.” Then choose a file from your computer. Add a caption if you want. Make sure to check the box that says you’ve agreed to terms of submission. Pick any tags you want to put on the post, then submit!

(TW: size discussion) I am thinking of submitting a picture because I meet your minimum guidelines (US 12) but I'm pretty sure I'm not considered fat because my doctor says I'm only about 20% body fat. Suggestions? I don't want to submit and then get comments such as, "Another skinny girl pretending she knows what it's like to be fat."


Are you fat? Yes? Submit. No? Don’t.

Basically, if someone submits a pic, and my first reaction is “omg what is this skinny person doing submitting here?” your pic will not get posted. Otherwise, we do err on the side of inclusivity.

HOWEVER. Just because a person is a US12 doesn’t necessarily mean they are fat. The guidelines are just that: guidelines. If you are fat, then submit. If not, don’t.
