Originally uploaded by nicciwashere
just finished fat girl # fourteen!
fat girl is a 1/4 size zine dealing with body positive imagery and writing, specifically where fat is concerned. FG is a 1/4 size, 20pp zine. this zine is photocopied in black and white on text weight paper. it is hand sewn with a japanese stab binding, and a heavy weight thread.
FG#14 includes a personal essay by Patricia Amos about medications and weight gain, struggling with body image, and her own self acceptance, art by Ang West, art by Nicci (of course!) and some short pieces by Nicci such as body love, food love, and dispelling the 'if'.
Excerpt: "Representations of beauty differ depending on time and culture. What is considered beautiful and desireable changes. Define your own beauty. Defend it. Love your face; love your body."

Oh my gosh, that is so truth, and so hard to do.
I tell ou have someone in myself every single day I have to love my body the way it is. And every single say I regret the food taking every bite.
It'a so hard when you have someone in your own house that tells you to reduce calories and go for a tun and stop eating. it's exausting. And your blog... it gives me hope. Everything you said, maybe I wano't always be so fat and so uncomfortable with my own curves.
Thank you again, from Argentina :)
