Themes in this poem: Liberation, Intersectionality: Blackness & Fatness, Health At Every Size®, Body/Fat Acceptance, Body Trust®, ED Recovery & Diet Culture Recovery
 
This poem started as an affirmation after much recovery work from disordered living and eating and after starting my Body Trust® practice. This poem-turned-eBook is an example of how our words can speak from our spirits, even before our minds and bodies fully embody that thang, Honey Child. Mmhmm. Today I embrace and accept my Abundant Fatness, which refers not only to my larger than average body, but also my abundance in faith, spirit and life overall. I encourage you to lean into doing the same, at least starting with self acceptance.  So WRITE your words or CREATE a vision board (both can be done digitally as well) to begin affirming what you believe and what you want to be true.
