After looking extensively for some fat acceptance quotes that I can feature on the top of my blog, I have come up empty handed. If you happen to have any quotes that are body image, FA or even feminism related please let me know!

   "I learned to love myself, because I sleep with myself every night and I wake up with myself every morning, and if I don’t like myself, there’s no reason to even live the life. I love the way I look. I’m fine with it. And if my body changes, I’ll be fine with that." - Gabourey Sidibe
   
   "I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose." - Margaret Cho

   The following quote is one I found on Marty Hale-Evans website http://www.martynet.org/size.html and it instantly became my most dearest quote it says exactly what I feel in my heart.
   
   "I support the radically simple idea that people should not be discriminated against, made fun of, restricted, or oppressed because of the size and shape of their bodies. Moreover, I believe that everyone has a right to dignity, respect, and self-love, and that jokes that denigrate fat people are just as offensive as those that denigrate women or ethnic groups."

   "It remains a radical act to be fat and happy in America...Being publicly fat and happy is hard; being publicly, shamelessly, unshakably fat and happy is an act of both will and bravery."
