Diary of a Fat Teenager

My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I’m an Eighteen-year-old happy Fat Girl who loves to talk, write, read, and draw, and feels the need to share those loves with the world. I just transferred to my new college and am really loving it here! I am obsessed with Japan, Japanese Culture, Geisha, Flappers, drawing, reading books, and watching movies. I love modeling and taking pictures. I like to blog about Feminist & Fat issues, my thoughts on news and events that happen around me (or that i hear/read about), new drawings of mine, new pictures of mine, and anything that I feel like. I’m definitely all for Body Acceptance (no matter what your size), Health at Every Size (trying to get better at this myself), and Fat Acceptance. I hope any points I make in this blog come out right, I havn't been doing this long, not to mention that i'm only 18 (what do i know about the 'real world') and don't have a clue what I am doing lol. Wish me luck!

“I actually wanted to be different now. I wanted to be myself and love the person I am. I wanted to influence others, and inspire them to love themselves exactly as they are and to be as happy with themselves and I was with myself- because no one deserves to hate their bodies and suffer within themselves. Life is too short to spend hating the connection you have with the world.” - From my essay "The Angel of Influence" that I wrote for English class
