THE FAT GIRL GUIDE
By Clarissa Nadine @ClarissaNadine_
‘The Fat Girl Guide’ is a guide to being an insecure fat girl. Enjoy!
How to be an insecure fat girl: I wrote this guide as I believe there is an assumption that being fat is all about over eating and not enough exercise, that is a major factor for some. however, I have decided to highlight a portion of the mental turmoil that plus size babes go through.
Growing up, myself and many other plus size girls and boys are forced to follow these rules. We’re never told or taught them, we most likely always learn them by being in a traumatizing situation that will leave a permanent & embarrassing scar on us forever. these scars leave room for insecurities and a dash of low confidence. thankfully, I have outgrown a majority of these toxic traits, but I know many others have not. so enjoy my semi tell all guide of a former insecure fat girl. (when I say former I don’t mean literally, i’m definitely still a BBW. lets just get that straight!)
Don’t eat in public.
People can see your fat. However, they don’t need to know why. if you love to scoff on cakes or love a ‘mighty bucket for one’ from good ol’ KFC don’t let them know that. Just imagine how embarrassing it would be if people saw you enjoying the culprit to your fatness. #NotCute
Always have a large bag.
Now this tip ties in with tip number one. when you walk into a shop that contains food, you're most likely going to pick up something, whether it's big or small. however, no one needs to see it or know what it is. Your bag is no longer your bag but your shame carrier, BON APPETIT!
DON’T YOU DARE EAT IN PUBLIC!
Whether it's an apple or double beef burger what you are not going to do is eat it on the street in plain public view! Eating somewhere other than your home or restaurant is a big NONO, you don’t need that embarrassment and your fellow fatties would also appreciate if you didn’t subconsciously shame them by doing so either.
How to dress.
I'll keep this one cute and sweet. Don’t wear stripes, don’t wear short sleeves, (no one needs to see your bingo wings.) Please don’t embarrass yourself by wearing skin tight, You’re fat. you’ll end up looking like a well suctioned bread of rolls. Pull your jeans over your love handles, don't wear ripped jeans, make sure you constantly pull your top out of your stomach rolls, avoid white in all types of clothing. DO NOT wear grey leggings, BLACK is your best friend! Glad we’ve established that, now go shop till you drop. X
Theme Parks.
Just don’t do it. Truth is, you can't fit. Sure, go along for the donuts and the hot chocolate sauce to go with, but please don’t go thinking you're actually going to enjoy a go on a roller coaster. better yet don’t even go for the donuts. Just avoid that awkward situation altogether, who wants to spend the whole day watching their friends go from ride to ride whilst you stand there with a fake smile telling yourself it's okay. SUREE, there's a tester seat but are you, a plus size babe, REALLY going to test it out in front of everyone to see? What happens when you’re too fat for the seat specifically made for you and your big bones? Exactly, just forget it and go cinema instead. At least if you can't fit in the cinema seat the lights eventually go off and no one will be able to see. #TruthHurts
Gaps.
Say excuse me and say it again. if the gap made for you is not the equivalent to the space you really need don’t you dare attempt to make your way through it. Wait the necessary millisecond then make your move. Just so were clear, getting stuck in a space when you're fat just proves how fat you are. In other words, be spatially aware.
WORKING OUT.
First of all, when trying to get fit and healthy never do it for your own health or happiness it needs to be for something superficial. Like, a boy, dress, event or family gathering. what you're gonna do is join the gym, eat right, work out for six months straight then when it's time for your goal to be activated you won't feel embarrassed or out of place, SIMPLE! Find a gym that’s 24 hours and only go after 3am because that’s when no one is there, therefore, no one to witnesses that your form is off and that you can only do 40 seconds on the treadmill. You’re gonna do this for 4 weeks then stop once your jeans get a bit loose. LOL did you really think you were gonna do the whole six months?
PARTIES.
You're fat not ugly so go out, party and have fun! when you get there just know that guys will purposely push their friends into you. People will stare, and the only male attention will be from the 45 year old dad that will chat you up because you’re fat and probably have low self-esteem. #DamnCheek
“FAT” DON’T REACT.
When that friend complains that they’ve had a large meal and suddenly feel fat don’t say anything. You’re already the fat friend don’t be “the fat friend your other friends can’t speak freely around’ that’s boring. your friend feels fat because they had a double cheese burger and a small chip, let them have that moment. They will never know what it truly feels to be ‘fat’ but their bloated stomach is telling them that’s what they are so ignore it and move on.
THE JOKER.
So, you cant eat in public, go to theme parks, or buy every clothing item you want. thats a lot, butt it doesn’t stop there. not many people will feel comfortable around you at first so it's now your obligation to make them feel comfortable, you will do this by being funny. once that is accomplished you will then be the funny fat girl. if you’re not funny, or likable, im sorry I don’t know what there is for you to fall back on. #SorryNotSorry
And that ladies and gentlemen is how to successfully be an insecure fat girl.

THE HAPPY FRIEND
By Clarissa Nadine (@ClarissaNadine_)
The Happy friend is the one who is happy, always in a good mood and lovable. what happens when the happy friend is no longer okay but doesn’t want to say because of the happy persona they’re known for? A lot of self proclaimed happy friends suffer from anxiety, depression or both, however, wont speak out as they don’t want to ruin the dynamic they may have created or to prove a point. as I could relate I wanted to see if there were others out there like me. fortunately there are, I came across a guy called William who was happy to answer a few questions I had.
William, 26, London
How long have you suffered from anxiety and depression?
About 4 years now, came on when I was at uni!
How would you have described yourself 4 years ago?
Calm, I'd say confident. Social is a good word too.
How would you describe yourself now? Because I reminisce about my old self and remember how I used to be. The way I would have described myself is a couple months ago is way different now.
Yeah, I agree completely. A nervous wreck is the best way I can describe it. I’d say I hide myself away rather than getting into social situations, I've lost my confidence.
Those feelings definitely resonate with me. You mentioned that you started to suffer from anxiety and depression once you started uni. Why do you say that?
I guess it was the stress of being out of my comfort zone. I got lonely and it stemmed from there. Halls were a nightmare for me I was badly bullied by other residents, got moved flat four times in a year.
I’m so sorry to hear that. People can be so cruel, being bullied is what triggered me to have social anxiety. How long would you say it took you to go from the confident, social person to the “nervous wreck”?
They can. It did for me too. It’s difficult for me say. I began to pull myself out of situations, stop going to uni groups, even start missing lectures over a period of 3-4 months
Did you ever try to hide that you were anxious or depressed from your family and friends? I know with me I didn’t really understand my own feelings so I didn’t tell anyone how I was feeling, instead I tried to keep up my happy persona. How would you say you handled it?
I did. My parents still don’t know, neither did my close friends. I feel like I have to be two people and really force myself to be happy and smiley when I'm around them. To be honest I don’t go back to my parents much anymore, it’s too much effort.
what do you think causes that extra pressure to seem as though you’re okay? As you’ve been suffering for a while did you not think it would be easier to be Honest with your parents? I personally just felt embarrassed. I went from being this fun, full of life person to someone that wouldn’t contact any of my friends or family for days.
I don’t want to let them down. They thought I'd fail moving away, that I wouldn’t cope. I’m not sure why. And stubborn competitive part of me wants to prove them wrong, and doesn’t want them to think I can't cope, if that makes sense? Embarrassment is part of it too. I find when I'm at my worst I just shut down and kind of’ like hibernate
Would you say the fact that you wanted to prove your parents wrong was a part of the driving force behind you not showing your real emotions?
Quite possibly. I’m also frightened of people finding out, I guess. I guess I don’t want to show weakness.
I don’t think you’re weak. 4 years later and you’re still pushing through even though it’s not easy. So, if you don’t hear it often IM PROUD OF YOU! Looking back do you wish there was anything you would have handled differently, maybe spoken up sooner?
Thank you, that’s so lovely of you! I’m proud of you too, you seem to be doing so well!! Hmm. I wish I'd admitted to myself sooner. Learned it wasn’t wrong to feel as I do.
Thank you I don’t even know what I'm doing half the time but it seems to be working. From your experience what’s one word of advice you would give to someone that is “the happy friend” trying to mask their true feelings.
It seems to be! I'd say admit to yourself how you’re feeling, it takes the pressure off!
And what’s something you would tell the old you?
You have worth, you’re a decent person and someone will love you one day! What about you?
I wouldn’t say “it’s Okay” because that’s what got me in this mess in the first place. I would say cry. Ask for a hug, you’re beautiful and you’re loved.

The plus size community
By Clarissa Nadine (@ClarissaNadine_)
Over the Halloween holidays a beauty and style blogger by the name of Alicia Mitchell (@FatgirlGlamour/@MakeUpIsWhatIDo) went viral on social media for her choice of costume. She decided to pay homage to the beautiful and talented music icon Aaliyah. A vast majority of people on social media agreed she looked fabulous and pulled her outfit off immaculately. however, she was still met with criticism. Seeing all of this unfold made me wonder, what are her views on the plus size community and is the plus size community ever going to be accepted? I decided to message Alicia and find out her views on a few questions I had.
1. What are your Views on the Current State of the Plus Size Community?
I feel That the Plus size community has grown tremendously for the better especially with the body positivity movement more Plus size women are becoming confident and it's showing everywhere Honestly its very refreshing to see. However, I feel that Larger Plus size women need more representation in advertisements and Campaigns
2. Do you think there has been a rise in acceptance towards plus sized individuals from Normal sized Individuals?
I think that people are becoming more accepting of Plus Size individuals, I feel so torn answering this question because I feel we are all human beings and someone’s size should never be the reason why they are not accepted. If a Fat person and a skinny person walk into your store to make a purchase your not going to turn the Fat person away because of his or her size your going to take their money when they make a purchase and not have an issue , So just like Money no matter what condition it's in or what it looks like it's still Money and it still has Value just like each and everyone of us.
3. Do you think the plus size community has become comfortable in their current stance?
The plus size community is constantly changing I feel that we've become more in tuned with Loving our Bodies as well as staying current with the Fashion Trends there has been a big change in Clothing and Style options for Plus size women. I think that people are becoming more aware that Plus size women want to look and feel fabulous and clothing companies are now starting to see it and I think more clothing companies that didn't offer plus size clothing will start doing it because a lot of plus size women are starting to take a stand in loving their bodies. It's a beautiful thing!
4. Do you think there is enough body diversity in the plus size community? For example, a lot of the popular plus sized influencer’s may be bigger than the average person however when it comes to body types, they’re usually curvy and don’t have a bigger belly or love handles to match.
I feel that there is not enough diversity in the plus size industry as a person who loves fashion and always wanted to be a Plus size model, I feel that there is not enough representation for Real Plus size women and when I say that I am speaking for my women that are a size 22 24 26 28 36 38 and larger. A woman that's a size 12 with a flat stomach and a perfect shaped body can't show how a dress will on a woman that's a size 26 with love handles and stomach. I feel that more companies should be realistic to who their consumers are. I feel that more plus size women would be able to relate to a larger woman being shown in advertisements and in Fashion shows and because of the lack of representation for larger women I feel that this creates a division in the plus size community and it's time for a change. We all have curves and everybody should be represented no matter what size or shape they are.
Receiving these answers from Alicia made me realise that our views are very much the same and that the plus size community is thriving however the correct representation is still needed.
“Never let the negative things that people say or do effect you but let the positive things that you do for yourself and for others effect them”. - Quote By: Alicia Mitchell

This is for all the creatives
By Sehaj Rathore
15.11.10
This session taught me a lot about going for your dreams. Even though this was a podcast marketing session I felt like it was a great way to understand how “The Creatives” began and how it started, but doing what you really love drives you to do better.
IDK was the podcast we created.
If I was marketing IDK:
- I would have influencers on my podcast and they would advertise it on their social media
- I would create social media and have regular or even daily interaction with the audience via polls, DM etc
- Go to another creative podcast to promote IDK
- Word of mouth to family and friends

Lynobi Writes #18
Twitter: @lynobis718
This poem is in response to Natalie’s wonderful poem ‘Night Owl’. A friend who has rediscovered her love for poetry. She is the Night Owl to my Early Bird.
Though there are times where I wish I didn’t think so much, I’m grateful that now, I’m starting to find my way not only as a poet but as a evolving human being. I’m slowly starting to find my way, giving myself to the spiritual light, slowly but steadily.
In the early hours of the morning, I don’t feel afraid or alone anymore.
I’ll never take them for granted again.

Night Owl
By Natalie Turner-Sylvester
Another short poem I wrote as I was up late one night, hey what’s new? Anyway, I call myself a night owl 🦉 and some of my best work has been produced in the late hours. I can get lost in my thoughts and I feel that people may be able to relate to this poem entitled: Night Owl, with their own experiences with the night time and their thoughts running away with them.
Education pays off!
by Kenneth William
What did Education taught me whilst I was a student
Gain basic numeracy and literacy knowledge
I disliked literacy so much that it was my weakeness
It was a rollercoaster ride from me to complete my studies
from primary to university
At times I didn’t believe that I’ll make it to university stage
Despite my difficulties in the past
I proved many people wrong
shocked that I did better than they thought
doubted my intelligence
GCSE’s results wasn’t the best but got college to turn it around
I didn’t think that university would be for me
felt that i wouldn’t be bright enough to even stand a chance
Funny enough I did go and spent 3 amazing years but
I don’t believe it’s worth 9k.
Left with a 2:1 and show people who’s laughing now
Not everyone is academic material
however my attitude towards education let my actions speak louder than words
Network,Network,Network.
By Sehaj Rathore
15.11.10
A selected few were chosen to sit a workshop of talks at Turner. The mothership of CNN, Cartoon networks etc. We were given 10 mins talks from various people from various roles and backgrounds.
What I got out of this visit:
- I heard about roles I never knew existed
- You can come from all walks of life and get a job you never studied for
- There are a lot of entry design jobs in Turner
Two members really inspired me;
Sara Grace - Graphic designer
Decided very late on to study graphic design after not doing any art subjects during school. She was determined to make it in the designing world and persisted and done extra things to be able to compete with people who had degrees in design.
Matthew Taylor - HR
I feel like Matthew story was an inspiration in the way his networks really did help him out. He thought he wanted to be in the police force but God had other plans for him. Realising slowly he wanted to do other things and wanted something different out of a job. I have had that moment after graduating but sometimes the usual roots into a job are not the ones that normally get you there.

Content Marketing Masterclass at LinkedIn- Princess Jiboye
09.11.2018
LinkedIn had a masterclass that I attended at their London branch. The masterclass was about Content Marketing and it was a very insightful masterclass.
I learned:
Content marketing is there to help and educate the buyer, a lot of the times this is achieved from story telling. Within content marketing, you do not want to lead from the product, you want to lead to the product which is how financial services build of their buyers.
Context
Question?
So What is the role of a social content? And how do you participate in a meaningful way?
- Context saying at LinkedIn -
“If Content is King and Distribution is Queen, then the Context of your story is the Kingdom”
The Professional Mindset
When someone is on LinkedIn they try to make themselves more productive and successful, they are not there to socialise with their friends. They are their to look for jobs they may be interested in or to follow industry trends and look at topics that are of interest to them.
If you have a buyer that uses LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, the mindset that they are in, a.k.a the context that they are in when they are using these networks is really important when you think about your linkedIn marketing strategy.
LinkedIn did a survey with there research team and they looked at what the most influential sources of content were. 63% said they were looking at peer recommendations and what motivates their members to engage with there content on linkedIn specifically. 43% said that the last piece of content they really enjoyed was a) inspiration or b) get straight to the point. They also looked at the top 5 reasons for content engagement and 60% said that the content they were consuming on LinkedIn was relevant to them, 57% said it was educational or informative. LinkedIn pride themselves around the content that running through their feed because it is relevant. If you’re tailoring your LinkedIn feed to be adaptive to your everyday, it will really benefit your progression whether it is professional or personal.
Nobody’s Perfect
by Kenneth William
I will be lying if I was 100% perfect but this spoken word piece describes the chapter I want through as a child. It taught me about my actions that got me into trouble and how I overcame it.
There is not such thing as a perfect child
We are born to make and learn from our mistakes
If you or anyone been in a situation
where you have been easily led or influenced by others.
Yes believe it or not I was once that kid
I wanted to be that class comedian to try fit in with others
make people laugh wanting to get respect
but one thing that led me into trouble was bad behaviour
i become a victim of an easy target like that redbullseye in darts
that allowed people to make decisions for me
pushover, weakling , hopeless words that defined my character
I had my own difficulties to express my feelings via communication
wouldn't say no without question why not you
these words was not nice , peer pressured to things that could led into serious consequences.
don’t worry it’s not extreme family spots fake friends before you
paid the price, why always me. put my mum through hell.
I was mixed with the wrong crowd, naive mentality needed to fix up
around my teenage years slowly started to change my ways
It’s a blessing in disguise especially to my mum
everyday she prayed that the day I’ll change it will be the best thing
that happened to me
When Time Comes....
by Kenneth William
Short and quick Spoken Word piece I just wrote. It’s been over 2 and a half yrs since I last wrote and showcase one.
You should never give up dreams
Never pursue something you have no passion for
People may see media as a mickey mouse degree
Yeah so what? Should you stop pursuing your goals because of their opinions
If you are serious about media you hustle hard
Media is about who you know not what you know
Without networking it’s tough
It’s about building them connections
So what does creative industries allows us to do
express yourself freely through acting , singing , dancing, spoken word and many more
The hustle is steep but does take a while to get where you want to be
Stars like Kevin Hart grind through his dreams for 10 years by doing stand up comedian
Simon Cowell had struggles during his 30′s as losing everything he owned
What does it tell you ? nothing is permanent until you make the ‘impossible’
there is no age limit to be successful
Whenever talent you got pursue it prepare to take risks
You are not the first or the last because you can make your time to shine at anytime.
