Personal Rant: Trigger Warnings!!

TW: Bulimia, Eating Disorders, Weight Loss

Okay so I’ve been trying to be healthier just for myself. I’ve been mostly eating healthily (I had a bit of a lapse on that but I’m back on the veggie train) and exercising 3 times a week - high intensity interval training. I’ve also been trying to do a short 2km walk on my lunch breaks at work but depending on weather and work load I don’t always get to do it. It’s not to lose weight. If that happens it happens but I’m just trying to feel better internally and I totally am. I drink water almost exclusively (I used to drink a lot of juice and Diet Coke) and that has been such a great change too. I feel good!

But I twisted my knee and like cracked something in my foot. I’m making time to go to the doctor this week but then my mom is like “you know the doctor is going to say you should lose weight”

1. No shit.

2. Doctors are so ridiculous. If I hurt myself WHILE working out maybe they should pay more attention to my words. I wasn’t doing plank jacks for fucking shits and giggles.

3. I’m not necessarily trying to lose weight, if it happens it happens but it’s not like my goal. I’m just trying to eat healthier foods (damn it’s expensive) and get stronger because I didn’t like how out of shape I felt internally.

4. I’m feeling much better since working out.

Anyways my mom then basically suggested I get gastric bypass surgery to help me lose weight because I already eat such a small amount of food (I’m not really a foodie, I’ve never really cared that much for food 🤷🏻‍♀️).

Welllll

That’s brought up all my history of near eating disorders. I’ve teattered on the edge many times but luckily never went over. But I’ve now cried myself to sleep the last few nights and had to stop and list reasons to convince myself that bulemia isn’t the answer. I can’t even tell her that she fucked me up.

And just when my talk space subscription ran out and I’m too poor to see a therapist. So, yeah. I’m super fucked up and like didn’t eat anything on Saturday until dinner time and then just wanted to throw it up anyways.

My entire mom’s side of the family is fat, it’s honestly in our genes. It’s how we were all born. Both my mom and aunt had surgeries (not the typical one) to help lose weight but it didn’t really help them. So it just idk messes with my head.

So really I had no one to talk to. I’ll probably take this down but I really needed to just write out somewhere how fucked up my head has been all weekend. Which hasn’t helped me eat healthily either. I had like 6 pieces of toast and a handful of French fries yesterday. & some goldfish crackers. & my friend gave me a little cookie while we were playing d&d. And a Powerade. Yup.

So yeah.

How do I unfuck my brain.

Since this deals with my fucked up head space and mentions how I have had to pull myself back from eating disorders I have posted trigger warnings.

If you don’t have anything encouraging to say just gtfo and don’t harass people while they’re in a bad mental state.

[ghostlyspirits]

Sorry to interrupt your scrolling Just wanted to remind you that you're beautiful & you're alive for a reason. So smile you little goof nugget, I love you

[miniature-stigmata]

this one’s for all the fat girls who’ve cried in dressing rooms 💗

[drst]

You’re fine. The clothes are made to be easy to manufacture on machines, not for bodies. The clothes suck, not you.

[darthmelyanna]

They’re also manufactured to look attractive on hangers, and very few of us are shaped like hangers. You’re fine.

[moodyehudi-deactivated20180519]

😱😰😭😭😭😭😭😭😭thank u please more of this type of body positivity I need it

[chickenonabicycle]

Legit though! I’m a hobbyist seamstress and these are my experiences when shopping mainstream:

For example, most H&M blouses these days don’t even have boobdarts. Which means they will sit awkwardly on literally anyone with boobs, no matter the size. But on hangers or when folded on display? They look fab as fuck. Because hangers don’t have boobs. And the models chosen to show them on the catwalk are usually chosen for their lack of boobage too (unless it’s for lingerie), other requirements including ridiculous size and weight requirements. As for the average (EU available) clothing shops, the worst offender I’ve encountered yet was Zara. Everything’s way too long and way too flat: clearly aimed to look good on the catwalk models but not intended for normal people. At all.

Also sizes are just numbers. Shopping online has taught me that I’m a European M, an American XS-S, and a Japanese L-XL. And then these sizes even vary from shop to shop in the same country: I’m an XL at Apples but an S at Lola&Liza, for example. They’ve also been reducing the sizes of these numbers throughout the years to make people feel bad about themselves and to sell more weight-loss products. Don’t let a number get you down, it does not define you.

So please don’t feel bad about yourself when shops refuse to cater to your size. The clothes they sell are not aimed at real human beings. They are the ones in the wrong here, not you!

[coffee-at-midnxght]

body posi posts are the ones 

[gaslightgallows]

I needed this after yesterday. :/

[gay-impressionist]

(these are figures for the French clothing industry but I’m sure it’s true in other countries)

Only 0.6% of clothes are available in 46 (again : french size) when 10% of women wear that size. 14% of clothes are available in 34 when only 0.7% of women wear that size.

The most selled size is 42 when the most manufactured is 36.

See the problem? It’s the whole industry that sucks. Not you and your body.

[gaynehollander]

i hope y’all know that the early to mid 2000s was the peak of culture. blue eyeshadow, glossy lips, jojo’s leave (get out), dresses over jeans, body glitter. we could have stopped this whole shabang after that, we already reached the top.

💓 Hello, friends!

I am SO excited to announce that I am launching a Patreon account on May 1st for my photos as well as footage of upcoming burlesque performances. Soft, feminine and qualitative representation of black women of size is so important to me, and I put a great deal of care into the photos I create, to inspire women like me to think of themselves in a different, gentler way.

This photo is preview of the first set I’ll be publishing at the time of launch. While I’ll still post some selfies here, I’ll be posting high quality full photo shoot sets there going forward. Pledging gives you an opportunity to contribute to my creative process and support me if you are so generously inclined. It would make an incredible difference and mean the world to me to have your support!

Reblogging this post would mean a lot as well. 💋

I’ve been saying this.

[homefixin2shavemister]

Friends like this always show their true colors the minute y’all have a minor disagreement.

[fat-glam]

I had a friend who would say something shitty about a fat person and then turn to me and say “not you tho, you know I love you sweetie” I dropped them so fast.

[molotowcocktease]

Ok so it happened. Instagram deactivated my account for being a fat lingerie model. Instagram is my life line. I literally don’t have a job without Instagram. My anxiety is through the roof because this is literally me losing my job and not knowing if and when I’ll get it back. I have a new PR that can attempt to get my account back but his fee is $500. If I’ve ever inspired you or helped you find self love or you’ve jerked off to my content PLEASE send like $5 to my PayPal so I can keep my job. It’s [email protected]

[tomtheripper37]

Fuck Instagram for doing this. If anybody can help this woman, shes awesome and gorgeous and deserves a break for a change as hard as she works.

[theradishroom]

Goddammit Instagram. I follow her account there and it is both lovely and within any reasonable interpretation of their guidelines. This is BS. 😠 

[deadpoet999-0-deactivated202203]

Please help out @molotowcocktease, guys. She works hard at what she does. @instagram you guys have to stop doing this without contacting the owner of the page first.

[iridessence]

This is my roommate and one of my best friends! Please help out if you can, I’m watching this bullshit tear her apart. If you don’t help her for her, help her for me, we live together and her using her instagram to generate interest in her Patreon account is what pays half our rent, so it’s in both our interests.

Yesterday’s full look.

[auroranmaiden]

Girls, romanticize yourselves. You are a queen. You are a warrior. You are an enchantress. You are a mermaid. You are a goddess. You are all of these things and more, you are the stuff of fairytales. 

[evil-paddington]

the judges to Dusty’s space outfit, which very clearly read as space: this doesn’t read as space so you’re in the bottom

the judges to Aquaria’s space outfit, which apart from not reading as space whatsoever was also fucking hideous: you’re a winner baby

[jazzymasocat]

Okay but like the fact the Kameron Michaels didn’t win this fucking challenge BAFFLES ME

[fat-glam]

^^^^^

This was Kameron’s day FOR SURE

[fat-glam]

I usually keep my mouth shut and don’t say anything even if I know the answer. I’ve realized that’s stupid so now when I know an answer I will give it. Or least I’m trying to do that.

Well today at work someone asked what something meant.

I had looked it up when I started working here because I wanted to know.

So I told them.

And they were like “how do you know” and like didn’t believe me. Like okay. Well, you’re 0% fluent in that language and I’m like child level 40% fluent in it. Also I did the research.

But they decided not to go with my answer so why even bother???

Now I just feel grumpy.

[gold-kushkloudz]

[abnormalradical]

Please and thank u

[woyaogaoxing]

I need this

[fat-glam]

Society has conditioned us to always be like “everything is fine” so idk how to even talk about shit

Like I know I should probably see a therapist to help me move through some of this inner turmoil but I know I’ll just be so awkward they’ll be like “what brings you here today” and I’ll be like “oh nothing I’m fine. I’m just going to leave, sorry for wasting your time.”

I want to be able to talk about shit.

I want a therapist because I know my mental health will improve so much if I just had someone to talk to who isn’t going to judge me.

Like I’ve tried journaling but I’m so hard on myself I basically just call myself crazy and close the book to never open it again.

Fuck.

[jehovahhthickness]

It’s wild how people disrespect the shit out of you if they don’t find you attractive.

[ebonyprincessxx]

You know for a long time I found myself realizing how different I was treated compared to the pretty girl, even in high school. It’s funny how Tumblr can really show someone they’re not dealing with something alone… because being the “ugly” not so attractive girl really took a major part in my depression
