shakethecobwebs:
I can’t count the times my mom has said something like “She’s too fat to be wearing that skirt.” Or “You think you like your big boobs now, but when you’re old they’ll be at your knees!”
She constantly makes remarks about my body and clothing. She’s told me on a few occasions that she doesn’t…

fatties go to the gym too
behindthefairyflossmachine:
so something has been grinding my gears for a while now.
Fat girls that say theyre proud of their bodies and yet want to loose weight. I do not want to hear a hit list of ‘healthy’ foods you need to eat and do not need to know what excersize machine you went on at the gym and for how long.
I want to hear about fats that are keeping active without the added pressure...

museumouth:
I was talking to one of my new roommates the other day about how my mom nags me about my weight…and Kristin (roommate) looked at me for a second and said “but…you’re not even fat”.
Personally, I identify as fat because a) by looks, I’m definitely not skinny b) I’ve been to the doctor and been told in different terms that I’m fat [they use that whole “BMI” bullshit, but this is what...

Body hair reflections.
I’ve been shaving my pits and my legs since I was about 11.
A lot of it had to do with my mom, really. It’s not her fault and I don’t blame her for doing damage or anything, because it wasn’t damage so much as just passing on a desire to follow societal norms without considering why or where they came from. Or maybe she did, I don’t know, but I do know she...

My mother just poked my tummy and told me to hold it in with a disdainful tone.
I explained to her that it was my tummy and I could wear it however I damn well pleased.
TUMMY POWER!

Why Diets Don’t Work
Before you set your cap on following yet another weight loss regime, consider that 90 percent of dieters who lose weight regain all or part of it within five years. Obviously, “dieting” is not the answer to slimming down permanently. Find out why and what the alternative is… [X]

At first a diet can give you a sense of...

What.
WHAT.
A fucking diet book for six year old girls.
WHAT!?
^^^ I’ve seen six year olds that probably weigh the same as me. if they’re really overweight, I don’t understand what’s wrong with this
Do a little reading and educate yourself on the subject - I bet you’ll see where the problem lies.
This sort of bullshit...

My mom says "Looks like you lost weight!"
I was curious so I weighed myself for the first time in months.
Looked down at my feet, read “220”, shrugged and walked away.
Gained 5 pounds.
There’s a part of me that still twinges - I will admit to that.
I think of it as a kink I’m working out.
Pretty sure it’s all just going to my tits anyway, which is fine by me.

$300 for being 300 pounds?
fattydiary:
The other week, I started work like any normal day. I actually was having a cheerful morning. Woke up on time and got there early so I headed to the kitchen to get coffee, like I do every single morning. Unfortunately, I was about to see something that would ruin my day and week. I noticed a sign on the break room table asking for everybody to read it. “This will affect you!”, it...
“Right now, I’m 5’7” 171lbs. And I can eat like a fucking 16 year old boy, I’m...”
– welcome.
Amen to that.

The Hairpin featured this site where you can view pictures of women of the same height and weight as you, but it seems relatively new and there aren’t all that many pictures. I figured Tumblr would be a good place to look for contributions.
This is a good idea.

boyzandgirlz-deactivated2012020 asked: I'm just curious as to what your personal opinion - if any - on Weight Watchers is. I'm thinking about signing up for their online program because I really do need to drop a few pounds to help get back in shape! (I have a serious thyroid condition. :/ )
I'd also love to hear anyone else's opinions, thoughts and feedback!
