estrangedjane-deactivated201105 asked: In reply to your blog post about coming home from Zumba. They were probably just jealous of your perfect hour-glass figure, and friendly, vivacious personality. Insecure women are the quickest to feel threatened; one insecure woman will usually keep her judgments to herself, but two insecure women will make sure to voice them.
lunadamepan asked: So apparently Tumblr doesn't let you reply twice to posts, so my first comment was replaced by the second one on your Zumba post. It went along the lines of what a bummer that situation must have been and sorry that happened. I know the jarring feeling of going from the awesome spirit of the FA community of tumblr and then not finding it in the real world. All I can control though is how I...

i’m not strictly plus sized but i am a fat babe who wears cute clothes
So I was walking home from Zumba today and I looked like shit - sweaty, red-faced, generally gross. I was wearing my workout clothes though, so it was clear I had just worked out and wasn’t some sweaty, red-faced weirdo. Anyway I noticed a group of three fat girls walking towards me - ever since discovering FA I kind of feel like us fat girls are part of a shared sisterhood, so I generally...

Teacakes for Trashbags: 10 ways to be a body-positive advocate!
1. Be yourself. Whatever size, color, religion, gender, race, or sexual orientation. Don’t make apologies for yourself. Believe in the righteousness of your cause. Believe that hate helps nobody.

darlingkamalika asked: So sorry if this has been answered before- but where do you live, if you don't mind my asking? Country's ok, I don't need your street address or anything :)

I think it is time to stop letting the angry shouty man dictate the conversation and change the parameters of it on a whim - *coughtrolltacticcough* because a lot of people seem to be missing the point.
The thing I dig about Tumblr is that conversations grow and change and expand in scope. What started out as a lot of anger from some people about a very specific picture turned into a...

4 Deathfat Realities (Out of uncountable variant possibilities) 1. Every time I travel by plane, something I do often, I must confront the reality that I may be singled out by one of the flight crew as being too fat for one seat. Oh, I can put the arm rest down, but that doesn’t always matter; these are rules that are applied arbitrarily and it is possible that...
