“I’ll stop wearing black if they make a darker colour.” Wore something a bit different today, so thought I’d share. Still in my natural black though.
Hi new followers 👋, there’s a few of you. I never expected the reaction from my previous post - it’s a bit overwhelming, TBH! • But this is me. I’m constantly a work in progress, and I’m starting to show myself a bit more on here because I think fat visibility is needed. Growing up there was no one that looked like me in the public eye and being fat was frowned upon (to put it lightly). I just want to show that fat people exercise, fat people like clothes, and fat people need to be treated just like any other human being - with respect. • This is another photo from the top of Mt Victoria in Wellington - I’d ridden up for the first time. A huge achievement for someone who said 12 months ago they were never going to ride a bike again.
These photos are definitely not what I had in mind. To the point I’ve been going back and forth on whether to post or not. But here I am, posting. I’m shit scared about what some people are going to say. Cause it seems every time I poke my head out just a little, someone’s there to wack me back down. Yanno, like wack-a-mole. • Anyway, I tried yoga for the first time in a long time. Just a little 15 minute video. But after those 15 mins, I actually felt the stress and tension leaving me. Weirdly, I felt my toes even relax 🤷🏽‍♀️ I didn’t know I had been holding so much in lately and now feel so much better. • Swipe to see who decided to join me ➡️
This week hasn’t been too great - I’ve developed a really bad cough and the dr said I likely have a sinus infection (probably from being sick for ages). SO THAT’S FUN. It’s kind of ruined my plans of getting out on my bike this weekend, cause it’s pretty nice here today. Anyway, we did go into town for a bit of brunch and a jaunt, so I decided to wear my new @torrid exercise set (matching sports bra underneath but I’m not ready to show that yet). I basically live in their exercise leggings and have many pairs. These ones even have pockets! Plus lady and the tramp tee!
Achievement unlocked: I rode up Mt Vic today. 🚲 For the last few years, I’ve been a bit more selective about what I put online (I’ve completely stopped blogging) all because I got a wee taste of the concern trolls/keyboard warriors/haters when an article of mine appeared on NZ’s largest news site. I hid. And have kind of been hiding ever since. But I don’t want to anymore. Plus size visibility matters. Fat people exercise. And goddamnit, society needs to change. Fat people are still human beings. And brands need to step up and start listening to the plus size market. I could say a lot more but maybe it needs to go in a blog post 🤔
Walking around outside in a tee, following week it’s three layers just to go outside. Spring, WHY YOU DO THIS?!
If you don’t take a picture of the Sky Tower, did you even go to Auckland?
