Size Acceptance and/or Support Websites Getting sick and tired of people's assumptions? People on both the thick and thin side of life have many assumptions made about them. They're unfair, nasty, and usually untrue! Have you been called slutty, stupid, lazy, bitchy, mean, sloppy, lazy, ignorant, judgemental, shallow, egotistical, selfish, not a REAL woman/man...? Which of these words are used for thin or thick people? Spiteful words, hateful words, and they ALL have to stop. Let's stop attacking each other and strive for a better goal, together. Links are in no particular order. If you'd like to suggest a positive website about Size Acceptance and/or Support, please email me and I'll add it to the top of the list when I get the chance. *Please make sure the websites are permanent and won't disappear in a week. CurvyGirls - LiveJournal group for naturally curvy women. We are a body positive community, created to celebrate naturally curvy women. We are not here to put down those who are thicker than most, nor are we here to scoff at those who are naturally thin. We are here to encourage each other in the truth -- that most women are naturally curvy, if they eat right and are moderately active. Women come in all shapes and sizes, and 90% of our shapes are curvy. Let's stop fighting our body type and revel in our natural curviness. We firmly believe that there is no such thing as an ideal size -- curvy beauty can be a size 4 or a size 14 or a size 24. Each person is different, and a healthy curvy weight is different for each person's unique structure. We are an ALL HEALTHY SIZES community -- delighted to include plus, minus, and middle sizes. ;-) NaturallyThin - LiveJournal group for naturally thin women.

We do not in any way shape or form condone or promote anorexia or bulimia. Please keep anything of that ilk OUT of our community. Thanks. We are also NOT a weight loss community.
