I can't ever say that i've been a thin girl. Even in the 5th grade, I weighed a140lbs. My main size throught highschool was a size 16-18, and once I graduated I was considerably less active. No more dance team, nomore marching band, and I have a lot more time on my hands to eat and snack, and my freshman year in college, I met my fiance. I was even less active and a whole lot more stressed due to certain things happening in life. Then in 2005, I was a size 16-18, I got pregnant, and lost the baby at 23 weeks, 2 days. After this, I went into a greater depression, alongside just having moved to a city 100 plus miles away from my family, never having been away from home or my mother for more than 3 weeks vacation.
Over the years, I have gotten use to being a big girl, even proud of my voluptuousness, but still when I looked at my naked self in the mirror, I was disgusted at what I saw. Now, as brought up in this post, http://community.livejournal.com/100pounds2lose/5322479.html?style=mine, my fiance has given me (as of a couple of months ago) an ultimatum to lose about 100lbs before our August 14, 2010 wedding. I knew being overweight was bad for my health, and blood pressure/cholesterol issues as well as heart problems run well within my family. Now I have a support group of a lot of ladies at a community called [info]100pounds2lose who have given me not only good advice, but hope that I can do lose the weight to the best of my abilities, and that my fiance saying that he wanted me to lose the weight because of my health and because he was "tired of my gut flapping around." That hurt to hear, and every time he talks about my weight, it brings me to tears and I feel so unloved its unbelivable, but maybe it's just what I need to get going...maybe. At this point, I want to do this for me, but for him even more. I want him to be happy with me, not just me with myself...I'm stuck and so topsy turvy on this. Since I just got a new job, I guess the first thing i'll do is join a gym, and find a weight loss plan.

EW.com: Fat is not disgusting [08 May 2009|01:45pm]

tsukata
Jean Bentley does a really good EW blog on the use of the word "disgusting" when talking about fat people.

Excerpt:
There are plenty of things that are disgusting: maggots, the sticky floor at the movie theater, brussels sprouts. But fat people are not disgusting. What is disgusting is that someone's entire worth as a person can be assessed by a number on a scale, and that that idea is being promoted by people who have struggled with weight themselves. The word ''disgusting'' in relation to someone's validity as a human being (even your own) just doesn't sit well with me, and I'm somewhat disgusted to hear it being thrown around that way in popular media.

You can check out the video here:  www.budurl.com/bpdt.  It's not perfect but for having just a month of practice we were really happy.
 
Enjoy!

Question... [02 Mar 2009|07:00pm]

theravensclaw
Hellow my gorgeous chubby friends. I'm a proud chubby chick who is on a mission to get fit. (no this is not a weightloss post and i hope it doesn't seem like that) and I was wondering if anyone knew of any size positive fitness LJ groups. Every group I find seems obsessed with size 0 or has heaps of pro ana/mia posts. I just wanna get some tips and support to get my insides feeling as good as my outside makes me feel :) Any suggestions?

Hooray for pretty underwear! [01 Mar 2009|08:24pm]

rebekah_3
Hi there - long time lurker, but this is the first time I've posted. I'm in my early thirties and have been on the heavy side since high school - not overly heavy just stocky and have recently gotten really heavy when I hit thirty. I am very lucky because I am quite tall, so I tend to wear my weight well. There are times though when I have to remind myself that I don't have to look like a stick in order to be beautiful - that is why I am so very grateful for everyone in this community - you all keep me grounded. Anyway - I needed a pick me up after being in the hospital with a pancreatic problem and realized that all I had been buying lately was really boring run of the mill underwear - so my best friend and I (who is also a plus sized beauty) went to the LB and I dropped $150.00 on awesomely gorgeous undies. It made me so happy to put on a matching lilac lace bra and boy short today - yay! We need more things like that to give us a boost. Yes I'm just wearing a soft sweater and jeans today, but underneath I feel like a goddess.

Anyway - this is probably all TMI, but I wanted to say thank you to everyone who posts on here - you are beautiful - and I wanted to remind you all that we are all goddesses underneath it all.

Cheers loves!

Home Made Half Jacket [20 Feb 2009|09:28am]

erozar
Photos... )


I made this last year and forgot to show it off like I wanted. It a Half Jacket I made, from the pattern to the construction. People never comment on it unless I say something or they spot the FMA patch of ED on my arm and they say something about that. Next stop is my coat, which I have to get the money to buy the fabric.

Oh, this jacket stops just under the bust line and has a hood that comes over a little too far. You can pull it over your head and sit back and watch people with out them knowing you are staring at them. It was a fluke but a good one.

Question: can you be fat and fit? [07 Feb 2009|04:20pm]

themadmyth
Answer:  Watch these thick thighs power a bike, bitches.

Hola!

I am a 22 year old self proclaimed hippie chick from Portland, OR, working on rocking that shit.  I like to ride my bike around town, camp and hike.  I paint and write at times.  I am starting to get into fashion design a little bit (but I need to learn how to sew better!).  Currently, I am working on a pair of suede moccasin boots.  I also love to cook.  I find it relaxing, when I'm not burning myself.

I work as a glorified stock girl (read:  work horse with benefits) at a hospital.  I am going back to school next year to become a licensed social worker.

Anyway, I am here, and thick, and healthy, and feeling a little fierce.  I've been shy about my size for way too long, and, let's face it, I tend to think girls with some meat on their bones are prettier anyway.  We're supposed to have curves and be soft.  And I have to say one thing:  This world would, without a doubt, be such a better place without fucking diet ads.  I don't need some stupid thing popping up on the side of my screen, telling me I can go from "FLAB to FAB!!!!"

What a crock.  I AM fabulous.
See? )

Need Online Dating Advice [27 Jan 2009|10:08pm]

heyjude224
So I don't know how related this is to the community accept that I am a chubby chic looking for dating advice. And I feel more comfortable asking you ladies then even some of my own friends. I have tried online dating in the past but due to my own insecurities and shyness about myself I never met any of the guys. I haven't been in a relationship in a very very very long time because it ended so badly that I hated myself so much I couldn't get myself back in the right frame of mind. About two months ago I decided to join a dating site and talk to most of the guys (within reason) making no judgement. I just wanted to get to know people who wanted to take things slow and get to know each other. It just so happens I have been talking to a couple of guys who simaltaneously wanted to meet. I ended up setting up two dates within the same week. I didn't think that was wrong, I mean like I said I haven't dated in a really long time and I am not sure proper protical. I had both dates and hit it off with both guys D and R ( I will refer to them as). I didn't want to kiss either of them on the first date and I made it clear to them before I met them I wanted to become friends first. R kissed me at the end of the date, D did not. Well I ended up giving both of them my number and I have talked to both on the phone and have already been on a second date with D. Last night while talking to R I felt I needed to tell him I am going on dates with other guys, I thought I was just being honest, and that didn't mean I didnt like him, infact we scheduled a date for this coming sunday. I have not told D yet, but I don't know why.

Tonight I get home check my email on the dating site we met on and R sends me this long email about how when he dates he only dates one girl and that our intimacy will only go so far knowing he can't be sure what I am doing. Am I wrong to be offended. I mean I was so proud of myself for finally putting myself out there and dating after such a long time, I mean I am scared out of my mind. And I am the farthest thing from a wild child and have no desire to be "intimate" with either of them, I am still trying to get to know them.

My scared fat girl self feels like running back and hiding again but the other part of me wants to yell. I need any advice and shared experiences other chubby chicks in this community have on online dating. I mean what is expected of you.

again sorry if this isn't exactly on topic for this community.

Looking for a video and I am striking out! [14 Jan 2009|11:11pm]

leiamanda
There was an awesome music video that I saw a pretty long time ago. It was this fairly skinny guy singing about how awesome fat ladies are... can't remember the words. I remember vividly that there were a LOT of fat women dancing in the video, and 4 in particular in very shin,y colorful dresses. I really want to see it as a pick me up and I've been ALLLLL over google and just cannot find it!! It's not fat bottomed girls by queen, which is also a really great song, but not the one I'm looking for.

If you know the video and could either link it or tell me the name of the song/artist, I'd really appreciate it.
