Jacob Riis Beach hosts the day of body positivity and fun, in the city at the heart of the fat acceptance movement

Fat Beach Day events are springing up across the US in an effort to fight back against fat-phobia, reclaim safe spaces for the community and honor plus-size culture. Today, one of these celebrations is being held to coincide with Pride month at Jacob Riis Beach in New York, a location deeply ensconced in the city’s activism space.

    If your job is so physically demanding as to make it impossible to stand, cut, and stir things, then why the fuck are you working out on top of that? Not to mention how much harder it should be to get fat in the first place…

    You can eat ultra processed meals at that point, just don’t have four potions of them per meal and you won’t gain weight.

      You seem to think mental weariness isn’t a problem when it’s a huge problem. Maybe your job doesn’t wear your out psychologically. Many people can’t say the same.
