Anonymous asked: Sometimes, I feel kind of left out of the body acceptance movement because I'm not skinny, but I'm definitely not fat, either.
tslillykat asked: I just want to say that I LOVE ur blog! Its so great to see all of this body pride & positive fat awareness. Thank you. <3
Anonymous asked: I hate when people act like all fat people want to be skinny. I don't feel bad about my weight at all. I feel bad about the way people see it sometimes. Turn on the TV at 3:00 AM, and all you'll see is infomercials for weight loss stuff that doesn't even work. People walk up to you and give you random weight loss advice, just assuming that because you're larger, you MUST want...

Anonymous asked: So its totally cool that people don't find larger men (or women, non-binary folk, etc) attractive. BUT can people stop pretending that society's standards of beauty, advertisements, mass media, etc don't have an effect on what you find attractive. Because there truly is a chance that what you find beautiful has been determined by the aforementioned systems.
Anonymous asked: Bigger guy here- Okay, I wasn't shaming them for not liking bigger guys. I can understand not everyone likes the same thing. What I'm talking about is when they sit and tease me and ask how I can even fit through the door or how I buy my clothes since nothing fits 'whale'. Thats what they do. They don't turn me down because they don't like bigger guys, they turn me...
Anonymous asked: To respond to the bigger guy asking why girls won't date him - not all girls are interested in bigger guys, much like how not all guys are into bigger girls. I'm a big girl, and I've always had a thing for skeletal men. I can't explain it, but I'm more attracted to them. I don't think we should shame anyone for who they find attractive.
Anonymous asked: I don't understand why girls can't love 'bigger' and fatter guys. We're cuddly as hell and we give off insane amounts of heat. Plus, good eats! Now why can't girls be open up to that? I have girls INSULT my girlfriend because they 'feel sorry for dating someone like me'. Someone like what? Someone so sexy that she doesn't know what to do with me??
timelordfreya asked: Not so much an ask, as an outright comment. I love you. I love what you're doing. As a larger lady, I've gone through this entire blog almost crying. Thank you. Thank you so, so much. <3

Anonymous asked: My dad just made a business-style deal with me to buy me a DSLR camera if I'll tag along when my mom goes to the gym three times a week until the end of June. It's not shaming, and I am getting something cool out of it, but the changes are not coming from a place of self-motivation about my health. What are you thoughts on this kind of bribery?

Anonymous asked: I have a foxy fat girlfriend who has virtually no self esteem. I'm always telling her how beautiful and sexy she is, and telling her how much I love every part of her, and giving her tummy rubs (she seems to really love those!), but she still thinks so poorly of herself almost always. I know I can't force anyone to change their ways of thinking, but is there anything else I can do to...
Anonymous asked: Your blog has brought me to both kinds of tears. Also- your dog is fucking adorable. xoxo
Delicious Followers,

Who is your fat role model?
crack3r-jac asked: Few things I just need to say. 1) Thank you for this blog. 2) I wonder if all the mean fat comments while trying on clothes were out of jealousy now. I'm sexy and I know it. *starts dancing like a crazy person* Okay, now that that's over. Please never stop blogging, more people should see this blog. <3

I'm pretty sure I've fixed the theme for Firefox...
Please let us know if you’re still getting weird layout problems!
If you’re using Internet Explorer 9, it’s my understanding that the layout looks awful, but I gather that’s true of 60% of Tumblr themes anyway, because that’s what Internet Explorer is like.

Anonymous asked: This is an excellent blog. I wanted to ask if you recognized the phenomenon where someone who would never fat-shame another person, or for any body type they have, yet seemed to have internalized fat-shaming and feel insecure? I wish I could help my friend. She loves curves on everyone else except herself.
Anonymous asked: I don't mean to sound like a whiner, but your blog setup is really inconvenient. On posts with multiple memes, or if they have dialogue under the meme, they get covered up. I really love reading this blog, but the format makes it difficult.

Anonymous asked: Looking through this blog...I wish I had the courage and positive thinking you gals have.You all sound so amazing & beautiful, I wish I had that confidence and self love. I've struggled to accept my body for years, for as long as I can remember and it's frustrating to admit I've yet to reach that moment in my life where I'm ok with my body. The ppl around me are constantly...

Anonymous asked: (Trigger warning: eating disorders) At my thinnest is when I was most unhealthy. My doctor congratulated me on finally getting healthier and losing weight. I had lost fifty something pounds in a short time span and she thought nothing weird about it because I am fat. I have been pushing through my ed with the help of my friends and the fa community. This blog is just so beautiful.
l-enfant-terrible asked: I'M WRITING LIKE THIS BECAUSE I'M REALLY EXCITED. Ok, let's calm down. I love this blog, it made me feel so pretty and fabulous. I'll make cake and cookies in your honour.

ecrivaine asked: Just wanted to say that I love this blog. I'm a big FA advocate, and the proud pet parent of a French Bulldog who looks a great deal like the one used on the site. It always makes me smile to see these posts on my dash. Thank you!
lizwuzthere asked: I've been pretty overweight all through high school and now into my third year of college and I caught a lot of flak from my parents for "not taking care of myself" but y'know what? I absolutely love my body and changing it is the last thing I want to do! These gorgeous thighs ain't goin' nowhere. <3

"Fat isn't attractive!"
A submission from: http://mrtrolleatsoatmeal.tumblr.com/
I hope I’m not getting annoying with my constant posts but I really love this blog…
I just read that ignorant post about how males are wired to think that thinner is better… that’s simply not true. In fact, almost every culture has thought that fat people are the ideal at one time or another, and some still do....
Anonymous asked: A few days ago, I read something on tumblr. I don't remember what it was, a quote, a picture or something but it said "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." And it's ruined my whole world. I've never been skinny. I've never thought beauty was better than food. What if it is and this whole time, I've just been fucking kidding myself? What if all of us have just...

What is your favorite place to find fat size...
Anonymous asked: I want to be skinnier so I can get nicer, better fitting clothes. Clothes for fat girls are not as easy to buy as clothes for skinny girls and definitely don't always have the right fit, it's a disgrace.
inflateablefilth asked: In the western world fat used to be better because it was associated with richness and nobility. In some nations fat is still considered the best body type. I believe a lot of pacific island nations come under this rule. Spend a few minutes googling history and you work this shit out. The 'male brain' in the west is, unfortunately, as programmed as the rest of us from birth to believe...
Anonymous asked: I just want to say that though your last response to the anon(about being thin because they think it's better) is pretty much true, it's not 100%. I'm trying to be thinner because I feel healthier when I'm thinner.

Anonymous asked: Don't consider this "trolling", because its not. It's pretty much engraved into the male brain that thinER is sexy and that fat is MORE OFTEN THAN NOT unattractive. Be who you wanna be but please, please don't think that people that are trying to be thin are getting sucked into the idea that all women must be skinny.
