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.

      If you think it is easy to have the mental and physical fortitude to cook, you are not working a job that grinds you into the dirt like so many others.

          No, the biggest problem is, as I keep saying, the lack of energy. You can plan to do whatever you want before work. By the time work is over, you won’t have the energy to do it. That’s why I at my last job I got up at 5:30 am to exercise, because as tired as I was, I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it after work no matter what sort of exercise I was planning to do.
