Bethan (a Fierce Fatty Academy Member) shared her experience…

“There's a little kid who asked me the other month and it was really awkward. This kid asked me when my baby was due while his parents just sat there. 

I'm quite small at the top and then my stomach goes out. 

It was so awkward and it just went silent. I felt like I was standing there naked and I almost cried. 

We were driving back. It was an hour-long drive and I just cried the entire way home. 

Even though it's just a kid, it still hurts. I've got a lot of pressure and I just automatically hate it [my belly].

It's not good to carry that around with me, but I think because it's held so much sadness, I guess. 

It's not good for me to carry it around.”

Victoria’s advice…

“The word fat and the reason why activists have reclaimed that word is that it was so powerfully painful and by reclaiming it we get to decide the meaning of it. 

It takes the power away and exactly like you say it's very difficult for people to call themselves fat or even like my business name, Fierce Fatty. 

A lot of people would say they don't want to be associated with the word “fatty.”

Fat is just a neutral descriptor and it doesn't mean that I'm bad or lazy or whatever it is that society has put on that thing. 

Your belly could be a representation of sad things or bad things or all of that type of stuff. 

Is there a way for you to reclaim your belly and turn it into something that is neutral? 

Turn it into something that is a positive thing or a really cool thing about you and that is something unique about you?”
