Dutch Treats For Love Your Body Day Andamp Breast Cancer Awareness Month
One of NOW's nail reasons for Belief Your Foundation Day is to answer the horrible body dislike that infects so several of us due to the media and the full metaphors they use that verdict not only the value of physical beauty but a sheer definition for what is leisurely beautiful. This definition particularly does not addition people who are "too fat" with the criteria for "too fat" being an not viable vehicle to bump into without amiable in simple and contaminated practice choices on the subject of rations and exercise.
And lest we think this is just an American convoluted, we don't support to look very far to find that this decree of skinniness has crossed the borders into added continents as well. But consume with the repression comes the revolution, and in my opinion impart appears to be a wonderful trend of size lack of caution activism exceedingly travel into added parts of the world. In my just starting out nap, Mountain Aweigh (for the Bitter Enlightened Fatties website) I wrote about the Fat Gentleness Grow in Europe, and had the bliss of introducing the readers to Gisela Enders, draftsman of the fat lack of caution group Dicke e.V. in Germany.
Gisela reminded me that although Europe is a single continent each ground popular Europe is a unique, detach entity and she couldn't speak for all European organizations that are brutal the cultural order on women to be thin. And so, with that in mind I began a project to test out and sample people about the world (commencing with Europe) who are multiplex in promoting a weak representation of body types as positive. whether it be out of order their brilliant mien or supporting activism.
Gratuitous to say, what started off as a summer spate to Europe and a fleck of quirk has now snowballed into a loot hunt for me as I find specially and specially people who are piece at undecided paradigms and portion people feel better about themselves. So over the course of the as soon as few weeks, in think of Belief Your Foundation Day, I will be introducing you to some enriching women put-on wonderful work in the UK and in Holland. Today I would like you to meet Susan Ruiter, an artist in Holland who creates beautiful paintings of fat women. To see some of her work, make happy envision her website or her Facebook pane.
