Fat: it's a state of being, a physical characteristic, a part of our bodies (and brains!)
Feminism: a movement to produce real equality for people of all genders and sexes, races and abilities, both mental and physical or emotional and spiritual. Real equality, real world equality, not just words on paper that say you can't discriminate against a person. (My own definition) The term 'patriarchy' should be replaced with 'kyriarchy', as kyriarchy is an overarching system of oppression, not just a male dominated and perpetuated one.
Body Acceptance: Attempting to learn how to love and accept our own bodies despite the media, our families, our friends, our doctors and everyone else, telling us not too, that we need to change, or we're gonna DIE.
Self-Ownership: Exactly what it sounds like. Your body is yours to do with as you wish, as you choose. It's a scary thought, for some. Noone but you is responsible for how or what you eat, when, how much, etc. Noone but you is responsible for how often or not you work out/be active/get exersize. Noone but you can say if you'll get a tattoo, peircing, abortion, dye your hair, have sex, climb a mountain or train for a marathon. Your body is YOURS. A gift or a curse?
