In honor of International No Diet Day, More of Me to Love is sponsoring the “I’m So Fab!” Pledge.
Every person should love and be proud of her or his body without qualification: whether tall or short, brunette or blond, tan or fair-skinned, thin or fat. No matter what you’re thinking about your body, More of Me to Love challenges you to say it excitedly.
Our culture, filled with hurtful and unnecessary self-hatred as it is, has not embraced the pride that should - and for some liberated individuals in the Fat Acceptance movement does - go along with being who they are. “I’m so short and it’s awesome,” you could exclaim, or “I’m so brunette that it’s great,” or “I’m so fat and I love it.” Be proud of your looks, your body, your size and yourself. You are beautiful.
We want to put an end to all self-criticism and so to get you started, in honor of International No Diet Day, we’re sponsoring the “I’m So Fab” pledge. Whenever you’re thinking something negative about yourself or whenever you’re about to say something about yourself in a negative way - whatever it is - stop and say the words, “I’m So Fab!” instead. Say those words every single between now and International No Diet Day for no reason whatsoever. The real challenge is to keep saying them after May 6th!
When you come to believe that you are So Fab for who you are then you will come to know that you are So Fab for all those reasons that used to make you think otherwise. One day we hope to hear you declare with pride, “I’m So Fat, I’m So Beautiful, and I Love It!”
