I got a full tuition scholarship to college. Not my first choice college. Honestly, I refused to even apply to my dream school (Columbia) because I knew I couldn’t afford it and it would break my heart to turn down an offer. Just like it did when I had to turn down U. Chicago, and U. Penn, and half a dozen other schools I couldn’t afford. But I got a...

We finally got an icon!
So, after all you beautiful people voted, picture 1 won by a small margin.
Thank you to Adipositivity for letting us use their photo!
If you’re choice didn’t win fret not! We will switch up the icons every few months or so.
If you have a photo you would like to be the icon/avatar (I still don’t quite know what it’s called) for this space please submit!
Also, this space...

Have you thought of ever rotatating the pic that represents this blog? There are so many beautiful people of color and size. It seems you could have a different pic each month or every two months

Vote for our avatar!
We are just as tired of seeing the default icon as you are! Substantia over at Adipositvity has graciously agreed to let us use one of her photos! A couple weeks ago we posted for submission and received none. So all the great photos over at Adipositivity, we picked these that best reflect the space. There were a few others but we wanted to pick some without frontal nudity to make sure this space...

New co-moderator
Hi folks!
Just wanted to introduce myself. The lovely founders of this tumblr have invited me to join them in moderating this tumblr.
I am excited to be part of the site and the wonderful discussions that happen that take place and part of a movement towards visibility and reclamation of our bodies, our space, our intersectionality.
In solidarity.

This is our 100th post! We want this space to be run almost entirely by readers! So please submit a photo, video, article, or anything else you deem relevant! This blog thrives off of participation!
Anyone who's ordered from ASOS?
I see some size 14 stuff.. Does it lend itself to a bit of stretch? I’m a “size 16/18” and contemplating a couple things but a bit hesitant with the sizing.

Fat Girl Eating
Awesome shot of me, a fat serene looking brunette, shoveling food in my face while staring off blissfully into the distance. My arm is moving so quickly that there’s an action blur! Laid out in front of me is a feast of nacatamales, pupusas, and beans. The wall behind me is pink and white.
I’m 5’7, I weigh 235 lbs., and as far as I can tell, I’m the only Belizean on...

So Far We Are: Covert Missions →
classycoochie:
There is a new employee at my job who has made two major remarks that have revealed so much about her. I went into work wearing a loud print dress synched at the waist with a thin belt. For most people this should not be a big deal, however, being a fat girl I guess that’s enough to make people compliment me. Anyways, this was literally her first or second day and the first day...
