The Real Chubby Tummies Of Lit

Been thinking about this thread this week...

I recently joined an FB group for 'curvy' people and made a post that would be consistent with what you have seen from me here, in terms of my attitude toward my body. Positive by choice.

Without dissing the mod who contacted me(who was warm, understanding and supportive) or the group itself, I was asked to edit my post for use of the word 'overweight,' for being offensive/triggering to some of the members in what was meant to be a 'safe' environment.

And it got me to thinking...

I get the need for a place devoid of criticism. I get the need for a shelter from the storm. But I hope that at some point, the members would also see how being able to look at the truth is crucial to the process of personal growth and healing. I mean, my choice to accept and love my body is meaningless if I can't acknowledge the fact that I'm overweight. My choice loses its power.

Safety and comfort are great at countering the aches and pains that come with living, but they're not meant to hinder growth. That little experience made me so grateful for the grounded people in this thread, and our ability to have really thoughtful, constructive conversations without shying away from what may be difficult or even painful truths.

I appreciate you guys. 💜💜💜
Wild_Honey I had the man tummy, I has Covid, lost it thank god, not recommending Covid , but I understand the tummy.
 
I am so glad to see you at the forefront of this revival ⚘
I do enjoy a good revival, my dragon friend. 😘

There wasn't a question being posed, but I am assuming good intentions.

Thanks for shariness your yumminess (guess that is a word now, or it should be for you).
I'm not an expert, but I think yumminess is definitely a word. Lit's not telling me that it's misspelled.

Sorry. Was trying to be funny. Good intentions of course. Just a way of saying you look great!
