Fun, but with included Body Image Demons

This past weekend included going to a friend's birthday tea party. Part of the entertainment was getting to smash thrift store tea cups, which was SO CATHARTIC, omg. I wore my new dress made from pink chiffon with pink velvet bats and felt very cute. (Everyone loved the dress.)

Sooooo of course when I finally saw the video of me smashing things, the Body Image Demons started shrieking. Ugh. When I see other plus-size folks, I think they're gorgeous and amazing. Can I apply that lense to myself? Hah. This is part of the reason I'm in therapy again.

(Link to video on Twitter, as DW won't let me add a screencap.)

Brains are much too adept at that sort of double standard. (Mine is too.) Much sympathy about that.

Yay for cathartic activities! SMASH!
