can't go a day without hearing about the so-called 'obesity epidemic' or how everyone's fat on the news. so i'm really not buying the 'not in demand' argument for not selling plus size clothes in store.

^^^BAM. Do I agree with the things they eat? Not particularly. But you know what, even with all their antics, they're a strong family who really LOVES each other, and as was said before, the mother's putting the money from the show in trust funds, you don't see them moving into a mansion or really changing their lifestyle…

yeah not only that, but they price gouge something fierce. i was looking at their bathing suits--you could get a cute patterned bikini top for $15. go into the plus size section? there's only one bikini top to choose from, it's black, it's ugly, it's boring--it's $40. i think the whole ~it costs more because of the extra…

vanity sizing is the worst. also trying to use the same pattern they use to make a size 6 shirt to make a size 24 shirt. fat womens bodies are built differently. you can't just make a shirt wider and expect it to fit.

i don't know, i take more issue with stores like old navy, who sell plus size clothes but ONLY online. love the message of 'sure we'll take your money but we don't want to see you in our stores, fatty.'

basically i wanted to be a mermaid.

I took it for a full month and a half and all I got was a sebaceous cyst. Biotin increases production of sebum, which causes acne, breakouts, and well, like me, sebaceous cysts. The past two weeks I've been using a product called Rejuvacote. I've found it's worked wonders on my nails so far! I've always had thin, chippy,…

This is one of those posts where I feel like this picture is relevant: Look, being a fat girl can be hard. I've been through it all, being ignored in favor of my friends, having strangers come up to me to give me diet advice/tell me to get surgery, men who wouldn't be seen in public with me or tell their friends about me,…

I find this slightly funny seeing as OP is the same dude who posted a thread asking about 'risque chat sites' on MFP.

I feel the need to respond to this again, because it's a very important subject to my heart. Over the years I have dealt with clinical depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, social anxiety, and a plethora of other conditions. Some days are better than others. As I said before, I also…

For those who don't understand just how truly crippling depression can be, take a look at this blog post. It's a perfect explanation, and even manages to be funny while talking about such a serious subject: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2013/05/depression-part-two.html

If you have to ask, you've obviously never been clinically depressed. Meds don't work for everyone. Therapy doesn't work for everyone. Just saying 'chin up' doesn't work for ANYONE. I work at a psych hospital, and have a long history of mental illness. Mental illness is just as serious and pernicious as any physical…

Phone calls from blocked/unknown numbers. I always assume it's someone calling me to tell me someone I love is hurt/died or that something bad happened. It TERRIFIES me.

I'll contribute to the revived thread! If we're gonna talk Buffyverse, I LOVE Drusilla, especially with Spike, and the way she and Darla play off each other in Angel.

this is going to be nitpicky but oh well. she's not 23. the article states that at the time she was at the clinic with her therapist, she was 23. it doesn't state her current age.

sorry. false equivalency. anorexia is a psychological disease, not a body type. you can't be anorexic and healthy, whereas you CAN be fat and healthy. as this woman clearly says in her article, according to all the tests that don't have to do with her weight, she is healthy. the point is, we're not speculating on her…

this article is the best thing i've read all day. thanks! (and to answer your question: not disgusting at all.)

Only just found out that the Hoff is the new spokesperson for Cumberland Farms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwcXwAyt40U Best song or best song?

threads like this make me sad. waiting until you're x lbs to allow yourself to do something is such a sad thought to me. i'm fat and i do the things i want to do NOW. I want to wear a bikini? i wear one. i want to travel? i go. this article is relevant: http://kateharding.net/2007/11/27/the-fantasy-of-being-thin/

I love when people act surprised when this kind of thing happens, because, as a fat person, this happens to me ALL. THE TIME. People are, by and large, awful. That's pretty much all there is to it.

wat

It's 95 and super humid today, gonna be even hotter tomorrow. No A/C at my house. Pretty much want to die.

Logic? What's that? Let's not only discriminate against fat kids based on BMI, which is a crap measure of health and fitness anyway, but let's also prevent them from having an experience which includes all kinds of activities that are, gasp, exercise, and would do nothing but improve their health!

i think all you have to do is look at my picture to get that question answered haha. i used to be THAT fat girl. 'cover the arms, no one wants to see those! cover the belly, no one wants to see that! cover the legs ew they look like tree trunks! but hey this top makes my cleavage look BANGING!' now my motto? f***…

yeah i'm fat and i'm already hot, so maybe just. . .don't hate on fat people because you should have better things to do with your life than hating someone because of how their body looks?

there's the one guy who sent me an okcupid message that said, and i quote 'wen u walk dues ur hart want to blow up?' totally used to being insulted about my weight, but i mean--oh yeah, did i mention the guy who sent this was 49? ahahahaha.

it makes me so sad that this is still a debate. the answer is 'don't like it, don't look', which is the same response i employ for fat girls in bikinis (biased? me? no way) and people who wear crocs.

I don't get the hate. She's completely on her own, literally completely surrounded by enemies, every time she thinks she makes a friend she ends up being wrong, every time she thinks she's going to be getting a break, it ends up ruined. She's doing the best she can just to keep her head above water and survive. She's super…

I guess it's really easy to ONLY compile all the negative comments from the top picture and ONLY the positive comments from the bottom image to make a specific point. If you think there weren't just as many negative comments on the picture of the fat girl as there were on the top picture, you're sorely mistaken. Body…
