You look fantastic! Empowerment FTW!!

Pale, chubby girls of the world UNITE!!!

I totally feel you on the shorts-fear! The weird thing is I see women larger than me wearing shorts whenever it’s warm and don’t think anything of it, but have this irrational feeling that because I’m not built like a supermodel, some kind of short-warden will give me a ‘not hot enough for shorts’ ticket and send me…

You look a) fantastic and b) like someone I would want to befriend. GO SHORTS. And CATS.

So, as a guy, I never really understood the need for women to lie to people to make them feel better, because frankly, giving false hope to someone is a terrible practice that doesn’t do anyone a favour in the long run.

It’s a shame that you’ve waited so long to buy shorts because you look freaking adorable in them. Your legs are a very nice shape. Be proud! Go! Enjoy yourself!

*high five* TEAM SHORTS AND CATTOO! I got my first bikini three years ago and I was so happy I could love my body enough to DGAF while I walked on the beach. It was such an awesome moment of liberation that I wish I had been in a place to give that to 8th grade me. <3 Yay for you and your continued self-acceptance,…

I haven’t worn shorts or a swimsuit for twenty years and am living vicariously through you.

Is this a tattoo of your cat or just a random cat tattoo? It looks awesome by the way. I’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo of my dog and I’m trying to work myself up to doing it!

You look Maarrvelous!

Embrace your paleness! I used to be pale but my Anglo-Irish aversion-to-sunshine genes (and alcohol usage and hypertension) kicked in so I always look like I just got back from three years in the Sahara or something. It’s not a bad look, but it is a perpetually sunburned look.

You look happy and confident and cute as hell! I havent worn shorts (in public) in years and you may have inspired me!

Oh I hadn’t thought of getting high-waisted, thank you! I will give em a try :)

Looks amazing! Maybe I will try buying shorts too, I haven’t worn them in forever for the same reason, so you fucking rock and I love you for sharing this.

Fellow chubby girl here... I am inspired by you and now I want to go but some shorts!

Gosh, it’s funny the insecurities we have! I would be so uncomfortable in shorts, so self conscious. Apparently you were, and I can’t see why! You look incredible in shorts!

You look really cute and happy! Good for you!

I want a cat tattoo, too! Actually I have a few tats I still want, I’m mostly trying to choose locations for them.

I never stopped wearing shorts but I always wore ones with long inseams. I saw the picture Chrissy Teagan posted recently showing stretch marks on her inner thighs and somehow it clicked in my head. The marks on my legs don't matter and they are nothing to feel shame for. I bought shorts that are real shorts for the…

Totally cute.
