These pictures are fantastic (and there's more on the site). Chubby flesh, double chins, visible belly outline, bare arms, they're fantastic because these pictures showcase all the things women work so tirelessly hard to hide ALL OF THE TIME.
My hands are up, I'm one of those women, I can't help it, but as women we're driven to desperation trying to attain and maintain that 'perfect body Mecca'. Constantly looking for miracle fixes to hide all of our 'ugly flaws'. When I first saw these pictures, I'm not going to lie they were difficult to take in without that critical voice in the back of my head going 'Oh my god, look at your fat arms' but the more I look at these pictures the more I feel proud to be the person in them giving a big fuck you to the pressure society places on us to conform to it's 'beautiful' standards.
And there it is, these pictures are another stop on my journey to self acceptance and that road to loving my body, every chubby knee, every wrinkle, every crease, it's all mine, it's all real and it's all beautiful, no matter what society or anybody else wants to think about it...
I don't expect everybody to understand some of the sentiment behind this post, especially some of my friends and readers whom are consumed with hating themselves or obsessed with 'commercial beauty' standards, but I hope you will all take away something from what I say. Beauty isn't just about the biggest cleavages, the fake tans and the size 8 waists, it's about so, so much more...
