Part of body positivity is that the body as is is not an “after photo” (especially not a “before photo” for that matter) and that yes, you may well get on that weight loss horse for many reasons, but in the meantime wouldn’t it be nice to dress as you choose; fashion as inclusivity, rather than as those limited larger styles dictate(cold shoulder, butterflies

). Not put your life on hold “until”.
Fashion not as something to beat larger bodies with - the carrot of “occupy less space and you to could look sharp” but more, yep let’s all have access to this groovy, urban, sharply tailored, avant garde <insert look>> range.
I get it.
if it were as easy as “just lose weight” there’d be no problem and no diet industry right?
Edit: just finished Louise’s stories and seen she used the butterflies and cold shoulder example too. It’s prevalent because it‘s true.
