Aesthetically I love my whole body really. My favourites are my boobs, belly, face, legs. Right now I'm really enjoying my legs. They are getting very thick and super curvy. Love them.

Also, I really love my body because she's put up with all of the diets, punishments, hate and what not yet has kept me alive, maintained my health, and still looks fabulous. Very grateful to my lovely body, she treats me well!

The majority of my friends outside of FF are thin, the only couple of fat friends I have are from work/uni.

I think there could be a lot of reasons, including age, location, socio-economic background, race and the dominating culture and it's values.

For example, the majority of my friends are from school, an all girls selective grammar school in south London/Kent, they are around 20, female, are mainly white or asian and are all middle class. I think that the interrelation of these factors probably increases the probability of them being thin.

I think it's also important to acknowledge the fact that lots of fat people are made to feel shit about their bodies which could result in them becoming very insular or preferring to socialise with people who are also 'different', perhaps feeling safer in a space where social norms are not adhered to e.g. lgbt, other fat friends, 'nerdy' or 'alternative' people.

Even though I'm very happy with my body, I try to surround myself with people that I trust will not be negative about my body, mainly because I can't be bothered with it. Though you may be an FA, is fat acceptance demonstrated throughout your social group? Since I've become fat I've noticed some of my friends fat phobic and/or body-shaming attitudes and displays of thin privilege (that is completely normalised and otherwise goes unnoticed) and it has made me question whether I would have become friends with them if I had always been this weight.

Just a few ideas... I don't mean to generalise or offend, but I do believe there are underlying reasons in most cases rather than it just being purely coincidence!

Nothing is able to fully demonstrate a person's attitude to their own body. I'm very proud of my body, but I still have reservations as to what I do with it on the internet, surely most people do?

Just because a person wishes to keep their identity hidden on the internet, it doesn't mean that they aren't happy, confident or proud of themselves in reality. You cannot reduce somebody's whole outlook of themselves to what kind of pictures they post on here. You can hide your face from ff but you can't hide your fat body from the real world, and in reality it takes a lot more than posting some half naked pictures online to fully appreciate and love your own body.

Here are some more from Halloween, sorry they get progressively worse throughout the night!
