Vanity sizes over the last decade
12 years ago I was a size 5/6 at about 130lbs. My goal this time is about 135. At the rate that the sizes are dropping I will be a size 4 at that weight. I remember being a super tight 10 at 155lbs back in 1994. I am a 10 now at 162 and it isn't even tight. My frame is still the same. When did vanity sizes start to come…

that was two days ago from a close friend who never knew me thin. i am 178 and 5'7". also had the nerve to tell me i was losing too fast and he thinks i am starving myself. then he proceeded to give me advice on how to tone up and lose fat in my breasts. lol. he was obviously drunk.

judged for being fat
has anyone else come across being judged for being fat? strangers in group settings who dont seem terribly interested in befriending you or finding it impossible to get a job that you are qualified for all because of the way you look? i have found it so hard to find work the last few years being 100 lbs overweight. i am a…
