But where to start? I’m a seasoned dancer with intensive ballet experience since age four. I think I look pretty damn good but I wonder how the attitudes burlesque clubs vary when it comes to plus-size dancers.
I’m in US, about to transition to New York.
I'm in my early 20s and I'm just now realising how unfit I am. I can't stand (or even sit) for too long before I get body aches. Yesterday I went out for a few hours and now I've spent all day in bed exhausted and unable to move. I have literally no stamina at all. I feel constantly lethargic. I know I'm unfit but I thought it wouldn't be this bad with how young I still am. Weight loss isn't even my primary concern, I just want to build up my endurance and be active without feeling like I want to die. I'm not healthy at all. What workouts would help me get my stamina up? Every time i look up fitness for plus size people, it's all about weight loss journeys. That's why I resist it so much. I want to see people who look like me still fit and healthy
I just looked through the photo’s of a wedding I was a bridesmaid in, and I’m spiraling. All the other women in the wedding party looked so gorgeous. Even the candid ones, the ones of them being silly, everything.
It’s like, even though I see myself everyday, I don’t realize how much I loathe the way I look until I see pictures of myself. I feel ashamed and embarrassed. I just want to disappear right now. ☹️
Hey everyone
So I have been searching high and low for a knee compression sleeve, due to knee pain and osteo arthritis, that will fit me without digging into my thigh.
I tried OneCompress because they had a money back guarantee and go to a 4xl, but they don't fit either.
I've measured my thigh circumference and have tried buying sleeves from temu, shein and ebay according to the size chart provided by the seller, but then they arrive and don't fit. It's so frustrating!
Are there any other sellers like OneCompress out there that I don't know about? I'm in Australia, but there's not a lot of options here, so I'm willing to order from overseas if only I could find a brand that caters to my size.
Thanks for any help 💜
Ever since I've gained weight it's gotten worse. When I was 200 pounds I was mid-sized and wasn't harassed by older men as much. Now that I'm 300 pounds older men harass me left and right. They harass me online, in person, at bars, at bus stops, grocery stores, everywhere. I can't seem to escape them. Like for instance I made a post on here a few days ago that blew up and a bunch of older men who were 40-50 years old started messaging me, saying nasty things to me that I had to block them. I'm 24 btw, and I would NEVER date someone who's 20+ years older than me. Maybe if I were in my 40's, sure. But at 24?? Absolutely not. And yesterday I was walking pass by this liquor store and some old man who was walking to get inside of the liquor store walked passed by me and said "hey there sexy young lady," to me. I ran so FAST to get away from him.
I feel like they're preying on me now because they think I am insecure, have less standards, and will sleep with them when I won't. It's just weird and gross that they're fetishizing me so hard now because I gained 100 more pounds.
I know that most women regardless of size get harassed in their 20's. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced what I'm going through.
I broke up with my ex a while ago and i’ve been so scared to make a dating profile. I feel like people will just laugh at me or i won’t get a single match. I keep putting it off thinking “oh i’ll make one when i’m x size” but it never happens and I’m really tired of waiting. I’m a size 2xl womens and am 25.
i’m short so it doesn’t help, im active, love hiking and walk 15-20k steps 5 days a week. I just feel so insecure and get scared. I don’t know, is it stupid? Probably. I just feel like im putting a big chunk of my life on hold cause im bigger. I’ve already applied for college again (branching into nursing from the veterinary field) and have a plan for my life except im missing a partner! It sucks. Idk if i should just bite the bullet or cry.
Hello,
I booked a flight for me and two family members.
This is in the UK (jet2) and it was quite last minute with only 1 week to go.
I didn’t think to prebook seats and checked in straight away and it’s seated us separately, which I thought was fine, but then I’ve just had the fear that 1 of the party may not fit the seat with the armrest down.
I’m kicking myself for not being considerate, and worried 1 that she won’t fit, but 2, what about the person next to her.
Does anyone have any advice?
I feel awful and super anxious about it like I’ve ruined the trip by not prebooking seats together.
This is a super specific question so i’m hoping at least one person in this sub can answer 🤞
going to vegas in a few weeks. staying at the mgm grand. they have a lazy river. you can bring your own tubes or buy from them. from what i see online floaties that advertise being able to support up to 400+ lbs(I’m 300lbs) are about $35. the tubes they sell are also $35. has anyone happened to go there, buy a tube from them and feel comfy? i’m not really a water person, i can’t swim and i have literally never been on a pool floatie. but being bigger i have the fear that i’ll buy from them and then sink lol. going to be spending $35 regardless but could be saving some luggage space if i just buy from them but would definitely feel more secure in the floaties that explicitly say they support plus sizes so any plus size baddies have experience buying and using the floaties for sale at mgm in vegas?
