17 Body-Positive Stock Photos for Parties and Celebrations
As I write this, the year is winding down, and soon it will be New Year’s — eternal occasion for celebration and champagne.
But not only are there lots of opportunities for parties throughout every year, gatherings are especially important for people in marginalized groups, including plus-size or fat people.
Being in community with other people who have the same life experiences we do draws us together, gives us confidence and hope, lets us share our stories and be infused with the collective wisdom of our groups.
“The images we see—or don’t see—matter. They tell us what’s possible.”

“There is certainly no shortage of ‘perfect’ bodies to look at on the internet, TV, magazines, billboards, and advertising. We *know* what society’s depiction of the ideal body is, thank you very much, and we don’t need to see if anymore — not if we’re focused on loving ourselves just as we are. Instead, we need to see more bodies like *ours.* More realistic bodies — ones that haven’t been airbrushed, photoshopped, starved, surgically altered, or exercised into nothing but skin and muscle.”

“Up until I started powerlifting 3 years ago, I would be covered up head to toe because I was ashamed of my “fat” body. I was told most of my young adult life to cover up because no one wanted to see my fat. I love this body. Every stretch mark and fat roll included. This powerbelly can do incredible things like squatting and deadlifting 500+ pounds.”
