#plus size problems

[monstersholygrail]

So I went to this thrifting event in my city over the weekend specifically for plus size people. I was so excited and hoping to find something cool. Only to get there and find a bunch of fucking old lady clothes!!

Seriously, how come some of the only options for plus size people are designs that are like weird florals or that kaleidoscope kind of repetitive design. There were weird frills and fabric bunched up in weird places.

It was a mess! And the only plus size clothes were legit on the floor while other vendors were selling their own stuff on tables. It was insulting. There was nothing there with any real style. I was heartbroken and pissed tf off bc I would love to have more of a fashion sense! Oh well, can try a different thrift store in a few weeks and hope for the best. But companies fr gotta get their shit together and make better plus size clothes…

something something about fatphobia

i've been suffering for months with stomachaches so strong i'm actually scared to eat anything other than plain bread and rice ON TOP of my extremely painful period pains that have been going on for years now.

i changed gynos and doctors so many times because often their answer was just to "lose weight and be more active" (mind you i'm slightly above average, just to say that i'm far from the point where the fat could actually impact my health). while sure, being active surely helps to live a long healthy life, i'm in pain. almost constantly. how could you think i'd be able to be more active if i'm in pain?? so, yeah. i never recived proper treatment.

long story short in these few months i lost a lot of weight due to plain not eating because my fucking stomach reject pretty much anything that has a smidge of flavour on it. everyone keeps telling me how good i look, how proud of me they are, how i look "healthier" when my health has never been lower.

funny thing is, when i was little i used to pray for something like this to happen. i prayed one day i'd become so sick that i'd come out that sickness being skinny and beautiful. congratufuckinglations me, i guess you got what you wanted.

Wish me luck. I will have to shop for pants tomorrow. I desperately need new ones. I had to throw two away today that were ripped at the inside of the thighs.

There is nothing in this world that I despise more than buying pants as a plus size person. And as a person who gets re-traumatised by the return of low-waist loose leg/ balloon leg pants. Just give me some high-waisted jeans with at least a normal to tight leg if it isn’t skinny.

Ugh. I am also not happy about the money I have to spend but I have to.

So in my travels reading fic, I see people classify plus size readers as being able to still fit into Eddie’s shirt and it being big on them.

Let me set the record straight, Eddie Munson is a slight man, (sinewy as Joseph Quinn put it once since he had to lose 25 pounds for the role) any person larger than XL would not fit into his shirt without it being tight.

I want to see more representation for chars (any gender) who have tummy’s that don’t fit ✨cutely✨ into their s/os clothes. To really see them struggle with body issues especially because their partner is so conventionally attractive simply by being thinner.

Sincerely, a fat person with body issues

Okay so recently I found out in the book Fire and Blood that Helaena is described as Plus size. And that was so upsetting to find out. As a plus size woman I kinda took that personally. It was like ooh here's this awesome character we love her except instead of being played by a bigger actress we want her to be played by the smaller prettier one. Idk if this bugs anyone else but. Like Rhaenyra shouldn't even be that skinny either. She's had several kids. It's not realistic. What did she fly to bravoos on syraxs and get some work done?

I haven’t posted for months but here we go//✨

I can never Decide what vibe I want to give off because I constantly get so many ideas for different looks and I try different styles all the time but in the end I always want to look like this and give off these vibes combined to one

But then I remember a broke art student and plus that I’m plus-size so clothes are impossible to find cuz like Vivienne Westwood, I would dream to wear her clothes… her largest size 48 is like 88cm in the waist…. the normal for a size 48 is around 100cm… 🤠 so in the end I just buy cute but basic H&M clothing… cuz I know this is always how I want to look but it’s hard

So I see Louis in June- and I have absolutely no idea what I’m wearing. I feel like it’s a very specific aesthetic, but I’m struggling to find something that fits the vibe I have in my head…

Shout out to people with big round tummies, who have rolls on rolls, those with big double chins, people with lots of arm fat, people who aren't hourglass shaped, people with double tummies, people with lots of cellulite, people with chubby faces, people who aren't the "right" kind of plus size 💖💖💖

we never see ourselves anywhere and I feel like we need to be a little kinder to ourselves for not being "conventially attractive fat people"
