This is a great discussion topic and something I think about all the time. I think as a fat woman we are expected to perform “beauty” much more, when I was skinny I would happily go out with wet hair no makeup in a t-shirt and sweatpants, I wouldn’t dare do any of that now I’m fat, lest I be perceived as gross and lazy... or, actually, grosser and lazier 😓 A few years ago I grew out my grey hair (about 50% grey) and at the same time got fat for various reasons. I only kept the grey hair for about a year. I was only 39 and I just felt like, I can’t be OLD and FAT, after a lifetime of being the beauty standard (white thin conventionally attractive), it was just too much of a mindf*ck, so now I’m back dying my hair blonde. So that’s my perspective. I am loving reading the other replies. Thanks for opening up this conversation
