Jacob Riis Beach hosts the day of body positivity and fun, in the city at the heart of the fat acceptance movement

Fat Beach Day events are springing up across the US in an effort to fight back against fat-phobia, reclaim safe spaces for the community and honor plus-size culture. Today, one of these celebrations is being held to coincide with Pride month at Jacob Riis Beach in New York, a location deeply ensconced in the city’s activism space.

    She had a podcast she’d promote saying things like it’s ok to eat cake for breakfast if you want it

    I mean, it is. I don’t think eating cake for breakfast is so much worse than eating it after dinner.

    I lost a lot of weight with basically calorie counting. I ate whatever I wanted until I hit my limit. If I wanted more, I’d do some exercise to burn off the extra calories.

    It taught me a lot about portion sizes and nutrition though (entered everything into a nutrition app, not just calories).

    But I’m pretty sure there were some occasions where I had some cake for breakfast, lol

    (Also…a muffin, waffles, or pancakes and syrup for breakfast are probably no better than cake)
