Note: There is nothing wrong with being thin but when people accept thin as the only way of being being beautiful is where the problem begins.
be-in-love-with-yourself asked: I did send an email to tumblr-support, and I got this answer: "Hi,thank you for your report. We will be looking into this matter as soon as possible. Danii--Tumblr Support". I'm satisfied :) I reported two blogs which I find extremely toxic and disturbing, so there you go ;-)
Okay, great! Unfortunately I find that tumblr support often needs a kick in the ass to do their job, but hopefully they’ll enforce their rules and get this resolved.
be-in-love-with-yourself asked: Hey, Rizzo. It's recently come to my attention that I have one particular follower who post/reblog a lot of harmful pictures/words et cetera - motivated by hate, self-hate, shame and so on. Clearly this person is what you call a pro-ana supporter. And as you may know I absolutely LOATHE thinspiration, pro-ana, pro-mia, pro-ed and such horrible toxic. I perfectly know that I can block this user, but actually I want to report him/her to tumblr or ban this blog. Do you know how I can do that?
When you block a user, there is an option to report them for either spam or harassment, so technically you could choose harassment - but it’s more effective to send an email to support@tumblr.com with the blog’s url and an explanation of how they’re violating tumblr’s terms of service.
This was a lot more difficult before Tumblr enforced an anti-pro-ana policy, but now that pro-ana/mia material is against Tumblr’s terms, you can report any pro-ana blog that you see in the same way.
1. Look in the mirror and say “Bitch, I’m fabulous.”
2. Don bikini.

Anonymous asked: lol I direct every insecure person to your blog because you have helped me become the most body-positive person I have ever met. ;]
That is so awesome! I’m really glad I can be of help. <3
1. Get naked and take a good long look at your body. Trace your stretch marks, feel your hip bones poking out, place your hand over your tummy and take a fistful of yourself in. Appreciate your scars and pimples, your uneven,large,or nonexistent breasts. Take pride in your un/shaven, un/cut, fantastically odd private bits. Hold up a mirror to yourself and study your body. Love it.
2. Be Ugly, reclaim words that are used to put you down and shut you up and scream right back at these fascist beauty standard reinforcing scumbags. Give them the finger and tell them to kiss your fat/skinny/somewhere in between ass ‘cause you ain’t got time to waste with their body hating bullshit. and remember, you don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Validate yourself by accepting yourself.
3. Wear clothes that don’t fit, that are too big or too small and show all your “problem areas” that cosmo insists you hide and walk down the street like the fucking fabulous queen you are. Sashay the hate away.
4. Do what YOU want with YOUR body. Shave or don’t, wear makeup or don’t, whatever choice you make is yours to make, and anyone who shames you for your decision can keep it moving. This also means respecting the choices of others, even if they differ from your own.
5. Surround yourself with loving and supportive people. Rid of the toxic bullshit in your life if possible, and immerse yourself in a community that embraces body positivity and diversity.

Columbia University is conducting a study and will provide free treatment for girls ages 12-18 who are suffering from bulimia. Here is the website: http://teenbulimiastudy.org/
If your insurance won’t cover treatment, take advantage of this. I don’t know the details about how many people will be given free treatment and selected for the study, but it won’t hurt to apply for it.
iamperfecttome asked: OMG ITS YOU HIII. It's been one year since I got my ED (how gross) so I celebrated my recovery by having a baby! (a FOOD baby of ice cream, fudge, pizza, and shizznizzzz). I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT OKAY BYE. (And thank you for running this blog, it does more than you know)
Wow, that is so great! I’m so happy to hear that your recovery is strong! There you have it, guys - recovery is possible, and it’s awesome!
Thanks for this message - I wish you all the luck in the world!
Anonymous asked: You are such a wonderful person.
Awh, thank you!
I’ve always wondered why are people soooo concerned about how other (random) people look.

Anonymous asked: Can I just say your blog has really helped me? I've always been 'over-weight' (Seeing as when, I was 12 I weighed about 192 lbs). Everyone in my school was completely thin and all so I felt left out.I was pretty much on the verge of becoming an anorexic because of bullying and teasing. By the time I turned 13 I found Tumblr and tumblrs like this, and it made my cry how others actually thought I could be beautiful the way I am. So, thank you very much! <3
I am SO glad to hear this! It means a lot to me to know that my blog (and the whole body acceptance movement) has helped you! You are so welcome, and please remember that you are beautiful no matter what!
Finally, a makeup advertisement addressing the fact that makeup is an ARTFORM, and isn’t only used to “hide your flaws”.
YES! I love this!
