Submissions
We are officially caught up with every single submission in our inbox :D They’re all queued up, so if you haven’t seen yours yet, expect it over the next week.
So, that being said, we’re turning submissions back on! Vent away ladies (and gentlemen!). As always, you can submit logged into your username or anonymously and we will post/answer anything you send us, as long as it’s not a repeat or too similar to something we’ve seen before.
We still have about fifty messages/questions that we haven’t answered yet. We don’t want to flood everyone’s dashboard with text posts, so we will be responding to those over the next week as well.
Thanks and happy submitting :)

sometimes i feel like you guys ignore people that are on the smaller side of things.
We address nearly every question and every submission we receive, given that it’s not a repeat. If you’d like to see something else on the blog, feel free to submit or ask :)

Sometimes, when I feel down about the way I look, I like to remember that a few hundred years ago, the women who were considered the true beauties were in the size 20 range by today's standards. I'm a size 22- I'm just extra beautiful <3 And no matter what your size, you're beautiful too.
Hey guys! I just got a job at dress barn, and the name may seem outdated, but oh boy do they have amazingly cute plus sized clothing. Just look for one with a womens side as well! They have awesome spring dresses all the way up to size 24. Plus they are so flattering. Thought this might be helpful to some of you guys :)
i'm so sick of my mom blaming everything on my weight. everything i say that goes wrong, or i have problems with, it's either because: i'm lazy, i don't work out, or i'm overweight. maybe i could happily lose weight if she'd quit hounding me all the time & making me feel like shit.
Have you tried talking to her about your feelings? She may not know the impact her words are having on you. I’m sorry you have to go through this, situations with parents like this are very difficult. Regardless of what she’s saying, you need to figure out what you want to do when it comes to your weight. If you’re happy now, ignore the comments and embrace your size/body. If you want to lose weight, do it for yourself, no one else.

I just went through ALL 53 pages. I'm a plus size girl, 5'6'' and 112lbs of fat. (I went to a gym bc my grandma kept badgering me about working out & they measured me). I've always been overweight, bullied until high school. Idk. Apart of me loves myself, but sometimes I feel really awkward. I do karate & I'm the fattest girl. Idk, I guess that I just needed to tell someone. I feel like I can't tell ppl I know bc they'll tell me to do what makes me happy... & I don't know what that is.. //:
If you’re 5’6” and 112 pounds… I don’t think there’s anyway that you would be considered fat. Please talk to someone, whether it’s a specialist or a parent or an adult you trust and see if you can get some encouragement in loving and accepting your body. We’re always here for you if you’d like to vent or want someone to listen to.
Edit: This may either be a typo or you meant that you have 112 pounds of extra weight… if either of those are the case, work on loving yourself, regardless of what people have to say to you or about you. You’re beautiful and special just the way you are, and I’m not just telling you that to make you happy. Life is too short to worry about being awkward. Everything about you is what makes you who you are.

I am 13 years old and my name is Cassie. I am fat and have been trying to lose weight for two years now but I always give in and gain it all back. It is harder for me because I have really bad asthma from second hand smoking. boys still flirt with me though, but only because I have 36D's. I just want to loose the weight so I can feel loved for real. any advice? [Or questions on my story9even though thats like not even half of it)]
Losing weight won’t make you feel loved. You need to love yourself (regardless of your weight) before you will find someone else who loves you for you. And I know you may not believe me now, but love at 13 is different than love when you get a bit older so give it time and everything will work out exactly how it’s supposed to :)

Confession: I recently lost a tonne of weight, but the problem is... I'll never know how much. I refused to weigh myself before hand in fear of the numbers. I still refuse to weigh myself because I feel like there's still much more to go.
First of all: CONGRATULATIONS! We’re proud of you for working towards goals that you want to reach.
Second of all: Many, many people use this method for weight loss. Instead of looking at it in a fearful way, realize you actually don’t need to look at a scale because that number really doesn’t matter. Weight loss and dieting are all about how YOU feel. How it makes your body feel and how it makes your clothes fit…things like that. The number on the scale is irrelevant. You can track it if you want, but it’s not necessary to look in order to lose weight.
