Faith 21

2009-05-04T14:02:00.002-05:00

have you guys seen the new Forever 21 plus sizes?

some of the clothes are cute, in my opinion

but the problem is

the 2X is only a 15/16

whaaa? you may say

well look for yourself:

yes, these are the sizes for Faith 21, XL, 1X, and 2X

i thought XL and 1X were the same thing but i guess not

so in actuality, 1X= XXL and 2X=XXXL, right?

so that would mean he 2X should actually fit a 17/18

but thats just me thinking correctly

even with this new "plus" line, i still cant shop there

so whats the point of having one if you're still exclusing the bigger girls

the only people you're letting in are the girls who should have been shopping there before

and i can tell by the pictures of the clothing that those are all "slim fits"

you know, "slim fit", the clothes that if you get it in your size, itll still cling to your body, like a size smaller

so pretty much you will see all the areas that clothes should be covering comfortably

so thanks Forever 21, but no thanks

you seriously fail

thanks for giving us hope then letting it slip

pisses me off

and still sign my petition

the link is in the previous post so please sign it

thanks!

Petition!

2009-04-20T20:27:00.002-05:00

Real Post This Time

2009-03-17T17:15:00.003-05:00

hey everyone!
its time for a real post because im actually upset over something
besides being told i HAVE to lose weight now (ugh mothers)
and this post from Shapely Prose
seriously..

ok if a person is dissatified with themselves
of course they're going to either try to change themselves fully
or think suicide
ive been in that place before
i hate myself and feel so low..
just because someone said i dont fit their beauty standards

im sick of people thinking tat in order to help everyone
we should put everyone on a diet and make them lose weight
thats not the way it should be done!!
girls that are a size 6 or size 10 feel fat
they go on diets and think they're worthless
its awful

when i was in junior high
i knew people who were a LOT smaller than i was
and saying they were so fat
and that they couldnt get a boy because of their size
and they were not close to fat
and its sad that 12 and 13 year olds would say that
but today even 7 year old girls think they are less than what they are

something needs to change
and i believe its the media
the media saying you can lose 10 lbs in a week
and you can get the perfect abs and butt in 2
and its just.. it just needs to stop!
we need to stop having all these diet ads with average people turning into supermodels
not only is that damaging to kids, but it damages adults too
thinking they can be perfect or they can find their true love by losing weight

i know im just ranting but
telling fat people to lose weight doesnt only hurt the fat people
but it hurts everyone
the thin, old, young, fat, etc.
EVERYONE
because the standard of beauty is seen as one thing
thin and young
and thats just sad

ill post later guys
hoped you enjoyed the post
and ill try to update as much as possible
thanks for reading <3

Sorry!

2009-03-06T16:49:00.002-06:00

im so sorry about not posting
ive been busy
we had district for choir yesterday
and only 4 people are going to state for solos
the rest of the choir is staying home
how sad is that?
no ensambles are going this year
but thats because an even better school came into our district

but ive been busy with school
i have a term paper due after spring break and the rough draft due Thursday
and then i have a book analysis due after that
so ill be pretty busy until..
the end of April

but how are you all doing?
im pretty stressed out but oh well =P

Valentines Day

2009-02-11T17:20:00.002-06:00

hello everyone
how are you doing?
i have a four day weekend, starting thursday evening
woo!
but its not going to be carefree..
oh no its not
i have to read Raisin in the Sun, the original unfilmed screenplay
and do a 20 entry dialectical journal
do a history timeline
so 100 notecards for my research paper
and its all due next week..
tuesday and friday..
ugh so much work!

but before that time
it will be Valentines Day, which is this Saturday, if any of you forgot
how depressing its going to be
this will be my 17th valentines day alone
ugh..
Single Awareness Day
if you're sad you're single and/or your friends dont care about you
ha... atleast thats what i think

but what im getting at is..
people think fatties cant get dates or anything
because well.. we're fat and fat is unattractive
i mean...
Jessica Simpson is probably not known as sexy anymore
i mean ugh! its bullshit..

but anyway
why am i labeled as "unattractive" and "unwanted"
just because im fat?
i think im pretty good looking, if i say so myself
im a hottie =)
dancing in a mini skirt haha
anyway

if anyone's willing you can be my valentine =)
lol
ive never had one so um yeah
send each other electronic v-cards
haha that sounds wrong..
but yeah

enjoy Valentines day with your lovers and valentines
ill sit down and eat some valentines candy
and buy it after valentines do for a marked down price
haha yay chocolate!

ill post whenever i have freetime
which may not be until...
August.. but anyway
ill post later
forgive the short post
bye bye <3

Obesity a Sin?

2009-02-02T15:57:00.002-06:00

hello all!
sorry for not posting for a long time!
you probably missed me and im sorry

but today we started presentations in theology class
about certain topics and why these are sins

a friend of mine did gluttony and how fast food is a sin
well because its faster and it takes you away from home is a reason
i understand not spending time with family is bad
but... a sin?
i mean.. people DO have jobs
and i mean
when my parents get home its 7:30
they're tired and dont have time to cook
unless we want to eat at 9:00
which is when i go to bed

but as i was saying
that is a sin.. fast food i mean
and you know why else its a sin?
IT MAKES YOU FAT
yes thats right
because if you eat too much fat food
youll get fat
when you get fat you're a glutton
and when you're a glutton
youre obviously obese

according to their presentation
obesity = sinful
so wait
im a sinner because im fat?
i try not to eat fast food
but then again i
A. dont make money to buy food
B. i dont know how to cook
C. im not allowed a job until summer because school is #1 (i know right? parents usually MAKE kids get a job, not MAKE them not get one)

but what do YOU think about this?
should all obese people be labeled as sinful
because you know, all that are obese are gluttons
and all we eat is fast food
you know, because we're just so intent on eating
we dont have time to sit and cook

their answer to this?
plan when to cook
problem with that - things happen
my parents work until closing time at their jobs
unless they sudden teach me how to boil an egg
i dont think we'll be eating steak or anything cooked by me lol

im sorry but
does anyone else see a problem with this whole..
obesity is a sin thing?
im sorry that just bothered the HELL out of me
and ugh.. am i the only one?

Lane Bryant Going Out of Business!?

2009-01-22T16:16:00.003-06:00

according to this article
Lane Bryant, and other sister stores (Fashion Bug, Catherine's) will be going out of business
only a couple hundred now
but they may be lost forever
due to a "drop in sales"
great.. now where am i going to shop?
online is really not a good idea
they either get my orders wrong or its something i dont like

why does it always happen to fatties?
of course, so many people are against plus sizes
i mean it "encourages kids to become fat"

um.. no
its promoting equality

but anyway
i wish there was a way to stop all these closings
i dont need all the plus size stores to go out of business
i need somewhere to shop!
i dont want to be 18, saying "im sorry but.. theres nothing for me at the mall"
i dont need to shop online
i should be shopping at the mall meeting guys

anyone have any ideas?
lol =)

Am I No One?

2009-01-18T12:02:00.002-06:00

you know, theres a lot of people out there who think they're no one
and then they try to push it off on you like
"you cant do it if i cant, or if they cant"
and sadly i know a BUNCH of thos people

im sorry but..
i cant change something just because you cant?
if people actually believed that...
women would have NEVER gotten the right to vote
blacks (please pardon that if it offends you) would have NEVER gotten equal rights
hell - we would probably still be under English rule

but because someone chose to stand up for what they believed in
and not just someone, but a group of people
come together, and it may not even be a day or a week
but even years to get things changed
as long as you're persistant

where am i going with this?
well im saying FA can actually well..
possibly be widespread
if not around the world, atleast in the US
and if not in my lifetime, hopefully for my children
because i DO NOT want them to go through what i went through and still go through today

i dont care how many times i get told to shut up
or how wrong i am
and how i cant do anything
tell me - how do you know i cant change something?
how would you have liked it if.. Martin Luther King Jr. stopped writing speeches
because someone told him, "hey, youll never be equal - give up now"
well he didnt, and im sure many people told him to stop

so in that, im never going to give up
im not going to let this fat hatred go on
im sorry but.. i dont care what you or anyone else says against it
im my own person, and i can believe whatever i want to believe
so how about you leave me alone?
because you have no power over me

thank you
and please hope i get better - im really sick
bye bye <3

Quick Post

2009-01-16T20:18:00.002-06:00

hey everyone
ive been busy
and will be busy with 2 projects this weekend
but i just came back from a 2 day retreat for school so
ive decided to post

Dieting - is it really a lifestyle change?
ok do you really want to diet your whole life?
since its the "only way to be thin and healthy"
do you really want to give up a piece of cake
or a sandwich because its "better if you dont"
do you really want to spend the rest of your life dieting
because youll be happier when you're thinner!?

yes, the doctor says to lose weight
because of the risk of diabetes and heart disease
im not telling you to sit around and eat rice crispies treats all day
(even though those ARE good)
but im saying, so what!?
as long as you eat healthy and like..
exercise in some way.. or dont, it doesnt matter

as long as youre not stressing out
you're not over working your heart
which is why if you're happy, you're healthy
you know?
and i know, diabetes
but if you watch what you eat
and sometimes indulge
im pretty sure you just wont develop it, unless it runs in your family

but COME ON
just because some number says you're overweight or obese doesnt mean you are
just because a doctor says obese is unhealthy
doesnt mean you're not
they just dont... check anymore, do they?
hell, when i go to the doctor i only get my blood pressure tested
and then leave
they dont even check whats wrong unless you have a cough
its makes me SO MAD

and i know "dont blame it on your fat"
and im not
im saying some doctors are just.. lazy
and want to blame it on the first thing they hear or see
you're fat, you're getting old, etc.
well duh - i think i know that
but come on, atleast check and see if i pulled a muscle if my arm is in pain
dont blame it on my fat
god...
sometimes i just want to move out of this country
but i dont know where to go

well ill post next time
what about?
not sure - whatever im mad at at the moment
please comment and email
im really bored and want someone to talk to
thanks <3

Because Fat People Cause Longevity To Go Down

2009-01-07T18:41:00.002-06:00

i swear, Yahoo is all about dieting and ways to lose weight
because thats all that people care about
how fat celebs are and how we need to lose weight
thanks Yahoo- because we're not good enough now

but anyway, i found this article on why Americans longevity has gone down
and childhood obesity due to fast food and sugar is number 2
OH NO!
not sugar and fast food!
because you cant possibly lose weight with those!
god that woukd be insane
take away the sugar! no more fast food!!
damn those french fries (which were not made in France!)
because its their faults we're fat and dying quicker

...may i ask you when was the last time a kid died from being just fat
you know
not from some birth defect or something
hm.. lets see..
that 500lb girl is still alive
so lets see...
ive known.. none
but still
ITS CAUSING OUT LONGEVITY TO GO DOWN!

put those fatties on a treadmill with a donut hanging in from of them
theyll run just to get it
*face palm*
god.. what is it with these people and obesity
obese is just a word
it wa around for years but it didnt mean anything until..
well.. now
because fat is bad
and you possibly cant have a normal life when youre fat
i mean, look at the WLS ads!

maybe its just me
but i think we should all disprove this ads
seriously
who's with me!?

Happy New Year

2009-01-02T13:45:00.004-06:00

so how's your new year going?
mine is ok so far
its going to get worse Sunday
i have choir starting at 3 - probably wont end until after midnight
and i have school the next day!
ugh..

but anyway
aut resolutions - i know they arent like..
my fave but how about everyone make the same one
whoever reads this blog

new years resolution - love yourself
yes some of you may already do but
strive to love yourself more and more
ok?
ill join you guys in this resolution
lets promise now

alright - from now on
no more fat talk
you know "i look so fat in this" "my thighs are huge!"
ok?
no more!
lets say good things about ourselves
small at first, then get larger and larger through the year
like "i love my hair" or "i love how my eyes sparkle"
something small, you know?

startings now - lets promise not to do it again
and heres a song to remind you how we're all beautiful
no matter what we think or whatever anyone says

Kellie Pickler - Dont you know you're beautiful

alright ill post later
bye <3

Resolutions!

2008-12-28T19:24:00.002-06:00

and here is finally the post for New Years Resolutions
but let me tell you what i got for christmas and my birthday
Christmas
Wii Fit and accessories
and this skirt - but i returned it for this top and a purse
Birthday
$10 gift card to Charming Charlie's (which ive already used)
$10 gift card to Starbucks
and Mario Kart Wii (with the Wii wheel)

i also spent most of my money on
bath and body works, makeup brushes, 2 Urban Decay glitter liners...
and i think thats it..
and now i only have $30 left
better use it wisely

but now its the moment we've all been waiting for
New Year Resolutions usually..
fail
we forget about them by March, if not sooner
and then we're like "oh crap"
and you feel like shit
but we still do it
trying to "better ourselves", as if the way we are is just.. unacceptable
either we're too mean, too fat, or too lazy
ever thought, we're meant to be this way?

but in many ways, resolutions help
we may meet new people and gain new friends
or even fall in love
just by taking up something like... sewing or volunteering
some are for the best

but when it comes to "im going to change myself entirely"
like getting plastic surgery or eating so little that a mouse couldnt even survive on that diet
its just, awful
you may not regret it then, but you will down the line
like on How To Look Good Naked (it came on Lifetime i think, such a good show!)
this woman had so many surgeries, yet she still hated herself
and thought she was ugly and fat
and she was no where near my size!

its so sad how we cant love ourselves
and we make these...promises, trying to change ourselves
just to make other people like us

yes i know, the good resolutions like volunteering
but im talking about the others like dieting, working out so hard that you become obsessed
changing yourself not for you, but for others
youll deviate away from these plans
youll miss your old self
the way you ate, the way you had time for others
i mean, how can you do that?
make yourself suffer...
but resolutions never really take a grasp for long

gym memberships go unused
dieting food goes uneaten
"thin clothes" hang in your closet, soon to be thrown away
-its like why!? why do we do this!?
its an awful way to live
pushing yourself down because you're not this way, or that way

oh well! you're you!
and theres no one else out there like you
and thats why people love you
because you're you, and no one else is

does that make sense?
i love you guys, really
dont change, k?
atleast for me and the others out there who love you

ill post later
comment
or email

thanks

Not The New Year Resolutions Post

2008-12-23T12:33:00.002-06:00

ok so i just read this post on Yahoo!
entitled America's Worst Supermarket Foods!
woah!
dont eat what you want! you might get fat!
bullshit..

if i want a Twix, im getting a Twix
and if i want Pillsbury cookies, im eating Pillsbury cookies!
i mean SHUT UP
every person needs to just eat what they want to eat
and not worry about "gaining weight"

a fat person's body will always want to go back to its round shape
a thin person's body will always want to go back to its slender shape
i mean god!
eating one piece of candy or a few sandwiches will not make you fat!
get over it!

eat what you want
dont worry about anything except "will this taste good?"
or "will this make me sick?"
if the answers to those questions are in your favor
EAT IT
dont sit around being
"that looks good, but thres too many carbs/calories/trans fat in it, so i cant eat it"
dont do that to yourself!
becuase one day youll break down
and eat tons of it
and get sick
dont do it

please yourself everyday
....with food..
haha =P
do what you want
live each day as if its your last!
because it may be

dont live life saying "when i lose 20 lbs" or
"in a year.."
no do it now!
please
do it for your sake
live your life as you want everyday
dont live wishing to be something else

so eat what you want
and be happy about it
dont regret it

ill post later
bye <3

Christmas Fooood

2008-12-21T13:18:00.003-06:00

lol has anyone seen Dude, Wheres My Car?
funnest and stupidest movie ever
"Chinese foooooood"
lol anyway!!

as i said, this post of about christmas food
and all the goodies
no this, is not one of those posts where ill say
"drink lots of water in order to eat less"
or "eat slowly so you will fill fuller faster"
even though you should eat slow, as not to choke

but i mean..
eat whatever you want!
the tanned turkey and the glazed ham
or maybe the stuffing or the cranberry sauce
whatever
dont deprive yourself!
the food is amazing!

and dont deny that cake or the gingerbread cookies
i mean, they're yummy!
dont worry about losing weight or anything
i mean..
losing weight by starving does not make you healthy
or..
make you look better
i mean, you look gorgeous now!

get a cute little christmas outfit!
i love this little dress from Torrid
its cute.. right?
but i dont have enough money to buy that and all the makeup i want
and get my nails done..
i would get a pedicure
but i dont want to use ven more money, you know?
ugh i still have to get my eyebrows done too

but anyway
no one is going to see my toes
especially if its cold outside

but back to food!
im making 2 sets of brownies, and a batch of sugar cookies (with frosting)
thatll be yummy, hm?
i was going to buy some peanut butter or gingerbread mix so i can make some of those cookies
but i think thats enough
dont you think?

lol but um..
you know what i want?
the spicy eggplant stuffing my godmother makes
yum yum..
but um..
now im hungry haha

just 3 days until we go to my grandmothers and see the family
and eat all that yummy food
then christmas morning ill open my presents and watch tv *sigh*
then on the 27th
its my 17th birthday!
woo!!

what do i want?
clothes and makeup of course!
and maybe some games for my Wii
or a PS3
ooOOoOOoooooOOo...

but im sorry
my post is getting off topic

the point is
why stay away from the good food people have cooked for you to enjoy?
whats the point of sufferring, watching others enjoy it
and holding yourself back to "become thin"
which is just.. ugh
what is it with the whole thought of being thin!
its just.. ugh!!

there just needs to be more plus sized role models
and more clothing stores in the mall
theres only 2 max
and then Macy's doesnt even carry anything!

ugh.. makes me so mad
but i need to calm down
i need to become a model
not only for me, but for those little girls out there
who are told they're too fat
and that they need to go on a diet, and they're only 7
its so sad..

but um
food is meant to be enjoyed
to be eaten
not to be looked down upon as a evil creature
who will make you fat and ugly
because food isnt evil
and cant do anything but make you full!!!
im sorry but
eat and enjoy
thank you

next post will be on new years resolutions
and what i got for christmas and my birthday
if i post after my birthday or christmas
so yeah
until then
bye <3

Sorry, Even Though You're Gifted, You Gotta Be Held Back

2008-12-16T18:01:00.002-06:00

ok so this totally pissed me off
its not FA related but oh welL!

Montgomery Erasing Gifted Label
im sorry but wait..
so the kids.. they're not called gifted
no more testing to get into a class
now its open doors!?

why am i pissed!?
because this isnt fucking equality!
thats screwing up the system
so let me see

say someone who is just.. on track
they get what they're going.. normal speed
now put them in a class where theres kids
above where other kids are, and where the speed is a lot faster

#1. the whole class has to slow down for that ONE PERSON
(trust me, i know, it happens everyday in one class *cough*algebra*cough*)
#2. the faster kids will be dragged back when they need to be pushed up
#3. the kid may not get it, end up failing because they were not meant for the class

im sorry if that hurts your feelings
but suck it up!
why should i make my kids, who are smarter, suffer in a class where they are relearning what they already know
because they're ahead
should i punish my child for being smart!?
no! i think not!

"Gifted" means you're able to pick things up quickly and successfully
im sorry that "gifted" offends you
its not saying other kids are stupid
its saying they're normal kids
but the "gifted" kids, who work hard and work on a higher level
should not be punished for being smarter

i was a "gifted" student
and yes i am in honors/AP this year
(but def not next year! i want a easy road lol)
and i hated class
because at my school, there was no "gifted" class
i was witht he slow kids, the kids that would take 2 weeks to learn one lesson
i made 100s on every test
it was so easy for me!
because i understood before we got to the lesson
i knew how to add, subtract, multiply and divide before we learned it at school
but i suffered because i was learning what i already knew!

in 6th grade i was teaching myself out of an 8th grade book
why didnt i skip a grade?
--Catholic schools-all they care about is your money
you skip a grade, they lose a years tutition!--
but it was awful

i changed schools in 7th grade
still very easy
getting As in everything
because i was still ahead!
i wasnt challenged!
everything was something i learned years before

i didnt get a challenge until freshman year
with honors
(actually, it wasnt hard, i just refused to study)
but it was challenging... i guess

ok let me talk about sophmore year
honors english, biology, and geometry
i struggled with geometry, and in honors we did trig
it was hard, but it was better than being on a chapter for a month
bored because i understood what i was doing
but i liked the challenge
a new section everyday
it was easier for me to get my brain working

do you all see what im saying?
as a "gifted" child
i was bored out of my mind in regular classes!
i knew everything
i picked things up quickly
i could get my ideas out clearly in a well presented manner
i even did extra credit that wasnt assigned lol
i was a nerd, k?

but as i was saying
its not fair to take what they need away
because not only will your kids feel stupid because of the "smart kid" in their class
but theyll be jealous and theyll be looked upon by their teachers as
"if they can do it, you can too"
do you want that?
let the gifted be with the gifted, and let the others be with others
thats all im saying

you may argue if you wish
and ill be open to your opinions
thank you

Holar.. i mean Hola!

2008-12-15T17:11:00.004-06:00

hello
i know, i lied about not being able to post
but yeah.. i wont post tomorrow because ill be trying to study for a chemistry test
which i will still fail!
but anyway, i need to just, whatever

i was just reading a post at Fat Chicks Rule
and its true what she says in the last lines

So it pretty much comes down to this. Fat men can't get clothes, fat women
have to shop in basements. Stores who don't carry plus sizes will
cater to
a heftier man (usually up to XXL) then a chubby woman (finding an
XL is a
miracle at the Gap.)

so what do you guys think?
i believe its true
ive never been in the GAP
but others stores, such as Hollister and A&F are just like it
possibly..

theres no sizes over a L
except maybe in hoddies
but thats because some people like to wear "big clothes"
whatever!
XLs are not that big, especially in those stores
an XL there, is a medium in like.. Target or something

is it me, or is the women's section at Target uber small?
when i go, theres only 5 things on the rack
the rest is the clearance rack for maternity, ladies, and juniors
yes, you heard me
the women's section is filled with CLEARANCE stuff
thats not even from that section!
it pisses me off!!

im so upset
i can never find clothes for me
i wish i was older, maybe then i can find cute stuff
for my age group
but untill then, oh well

A&F make something in my size, please?
Aeropostale, i used to fit into stuff (barely) from your store in the 8th grade
cant you make something nice for me now?
and American Eagle, i love your stuff!
cant you make your clothes just a tiny bit bigger?
im telling you, if you just make them a little bit bigger, i know people who would buy from you!

i know, "shop online" but i told you
i dont buy unless i know how its going to fit
how it feels, how it looks in person
plus theres not much online either!

i hate Lane Bryant!
theres nothing for a 17 year old girl there!
Torrid.. make your clothes cheaper or something!
make more stuff i can wear shopping or to see grandparents
i dont get invited to parties, nor asked out on dates
so can you possibly.. make something for everyday?
and not just jeans and t-shirts!
but nice dresses and cute little tops
maybe?

am i asking too much?
as a 17 year old girl with no fashion magazines to look at with my size
no more than 2 stores to shop at
no place to buy cheap homecoming/prom dresses
cant shop at Macy's, Dillard's only has older women dresses
plus they're expensive
theres nothing nice in my size at JCPenny, unless i want a black dress
which i dont want at all!
i cant buy regular clothes at Macy's or JCPenny because well.. nothing in my size
well, the women's section, which has old stuff, just like Dillard's

god!
its like you cant be young and fat in this country!
because theres nothing here!
Fashion Bug doesnt carry junior plus in stores!
actually.. all the stores dont carry junior plus in stores, only online
its like god damn!
fucking give us something!!!!
i want to look cute and my age
i dont want to look like a 50 year old woman!
(no offense)
just ugh!!

sorry about being so mad
its just that i wanted something cute to wear for christmas
but you know what?
i cant find anything in my size that i can afford
so screw it!
screw you Macy's, screw you JCPenny, screw you old fucking women clothing Dillard's!
im sick of it!!!

im going to take a breather
the next post will be friday or thursday
and itll be about food and christmas
oh boy!
so can you guys wait until then?
i hope so
so ill post later
bye <3

MADE on MTV

2008-12-06T12:39:00.002-06:00

you know what show is good
yet has disappointing parts?
MADE
you know
"i wanna be MADE!"

never heard of it?
well it comes on MTV
usually on Saturday mornings
it involves a person becoming something they dream about
getting through challenges to "discover" themselves
and be what they want to be
helps them become confident

thats the good part of the show
the bad part is
why does everyone have to work out?
either to get muscles or to lose weight?
wtf!?
this show is suppossed to help kids love and learn about themselves
but why do they have to work out!?

i remember the Plus Size Model episode
this girl wanted to be a plus size model for Torrid in their annual model search
and well of course, she was big enough to be a plus size model
she was maybe.. a size 16/18
and the lady who was training her was prob..
a 26 i dont know..
but she was a plus size model too i think

but anyway!
you know what they did?
they pushed her to work out until she was a size 12
what the fuck!?
and of course, she did get to the finals of the competition
but what does that tell girls trying to become a PSM (plus size model)
that they should be the minimum size you can for a PSM!?
so i should be a size 8, since thats the new size 12

maybe i should go work out to death
and train for 6 weeks
everyday so i can be ready for the competition
you know, lose about.. 70 lbs
*facepalm*
MADE you FAIL!!!
lol not really
its a good show just..
please get rid of the body changing part
cant you let their bodies be.. natural?
do you have to change it, because itll make them "feel better"

a person doesnt need to lose weight or gain muscles to be happy
right?
or maybe im wrong - which i doubt i am
because i know big people who are happy, and thin people who are unhappy
(thin people who want to gain weight)
so i mean..
MADE if i could change only one thing, it would be that
everything else is fine and i love the show, besides that

i want to be on that show
but i know that i would prob have to lose wieght
and then the MADE coach would be like
"do you not want this!?"
and ill be like "i thought PSMs were plus sized! not on the border of normal sized!"
and then they'll be like "but youll feel better!"
and ill be like "im sorry i want to love myself as i am! not as 20 lbs lighter!"
and maybe thatll make them shut up
lol

am i mean?
i prob am but whatever
tell me what you think about the show MADE
in your opinion,do you like it, or not?

well ill post later
i need to like work on my english
but ive been procrastinating
arg!
but ill post later
so have fun
bye

Such A Pretty Face

2008-12-05T16:38:00.002-06:00

sorry i havent posted in a while
ive been stressed, and will be this weekend
but ive made time to post
i just need to think - 2 more weeks and junior year will be half way over
woo!!! lol
its so stressful, i cant wait until next year
but anyway

why do people say it?
you have such a pretty face but..
i hope you know saying but negates the "nice" thing before it
just so you know
but why do theey say "if you lost just a little weight, you would be gorgeous"
ok so, what are you saying?
am i not gorgeous the way i am?
well thanks, now do you mind if i eat my donut now?
lol =P
only glazed for me, or donut holes..
wow i havent had donuts in forever!

but getting back to my point
if you have nothing nice to say about me
or going to compliment me on how i look now
instead of how i would look if i just "made a lifestyle change" *cough*diet*cough*
then DONT SAY IT!

sometimes i catch myself saying "i have such a pretty face"
but then i stop myself before i walk away from the mirror and say "and i have a nice body too"
be like BAM!
im sexy, and i know it!
especially if you do your hair cute
and you're wearing a cute skirt or something
just makes you feel a lot better

and you know what?
i found out JC Penny has a girls plus
yet, no junior plus
i guess teenagers cant be overweight, hm?
only little girls
im sorry but, take note that some teenagers may have a small waist and hips, but large boobs
or maybe small boobs, large hips
or large all around (me)
make clothes for EVERYONE!

but anyway lol
Lane Bryant and Torrid have nothing in stores
i mean, nothing affordable
nor anything i can wear out everyday
Lane Bryant has only business attire
Torrid - party outfits
#1 i dont have a job, nor a business job
#2 i dont get invited to parties
#3 i dont have a guy to take me to nice places
so i need something more for everyday
or for shopping
you know, stuff like that

this is why it makes me think ill be better thinner
but i know i need to stop being negative and love myself

i know what you're thinking
"shop online"
no
#1 no money, nor credit cards im allowed to use
#2 im oddly shaped, so sizes differ
#3 things look different in person than online
#4 i dont know if something will look good on me or not
#5 it takes the fun out of shopping

i know i could use a fitting chart for #2, but it really depends on what type of fabric
if its clingy.. i wont buy it
and if it doesnt stretch, then ill prob have to get a bigger size

i know its hard to say you have a "sexy body" or anything like that
but you just gotta say it and believe
it takes willpower
you can do it!
anyone can do it

im still trying to follow my dream of becoming a model
hopefully a model for Torrid
thatll be fun, right?
im young and exciting and fresh!
i can do it!
i know its a lot of work, but i think this is for me

oh yeah, and before i forget
i have a book suggestion for you all
its call

A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving

its so good
i cried at the end of the last two chapters
it was like, amazing
i love it, like no joke
i have a huge assignment due on Monday for that book
that counts for 2 test grades
so wish me luck!
i need a good grade on this if i want to pass the class
so please pray for me

and ill try to post later
once next week is over, im home free!
but until then , im going to be so stressed out
so wish me luck
14 days until christmas break
alright, post later
bye

The Mall

2008-11-28T19:37:00.002-06:00

gosh ive missed you guys!
i was going to post monday night, but no internet
due to the moving
im so sorry it took so long!
i just got it 5 mins ago

now what i was goin to post about
it that i went to the mall Wednesday
and i go so upset
so many cute clothes and dresses in all the stores
yet, there were only two plus size stores in the mall

it sucks because
i didnt find anything to wear out for christmas at Torrid or Lane Bryant
sometimes it makes you hate yourself
because you're fat
but ts not your fault
love yourself
eat some chocolate =)

i cant wait until christmas
mainly because my birthday is only 2 days later
but um
i really want a nice little dress to wear and everything
but i dont have anything nice like that
it really sucks
it makes me hate the mall
seeing all those thin girls
shopping everywhere!

and i cant believe i bought the new issues of Seventeen and Cosmogirl
its horrible!
theres nothing over a size 13 or a XL
i cant wear a 13!
and i probably never will!

ive been having a lot of dreams about being a model
and meeting a guy
yeah, totally want a boyfriend haha
gosh its so hard to avoid Twilight

makes me think of this guy i think im dating online
do i love him?
yes, theres a chance i do
a 98% chance haha
but um lol
i havent talked to him in months
miss him
Twilight makes me think of him and ya..

anyway..
did you guys hear Macy's is closing in places?
such as.. Texas?
well i knew that from the start
when they got rid of most of the plus sized stuff
and made the women's section 10x smaller
and its nothing but clearance up there!

i remember that before Macy's took over
there was a store named Foley's
Macy's bought Foley's out
and its so sad..
Foley's had a HUGE plus size/women's section
and they had gorgeous plus size after 5 gowns
but you walk into Macy's
look at the sizes
2..4...2..0..00..0..4..
oh!! i found a 6!
nothing's over a 10
or a 12 if you're lucky to find that

its so sad
Foley's, come back
i need a department store where all the plus sized clothing
isnt old womanish looking and isnt expensive!!!
im sick of finding dresses with thick straps
ever heard of plus sized teenagers!?
not every fat person is over 50!!!
god!
Dillard's that means YOU!!!

and JCPenny
not every fat person is trailer trash
and not everyone wants elastic waist pants
and thats all they sell!
and look at the shirts
they all have cats or something stupid design
god! get rid of it!

i havent really been anywhere else..
Neman Marcus, do they even sell clothes?
ive been in there at The Galleria
and all they have are purses, makeup, and some jewlery
maybe im thinking of something else
but god

i wish department stores would get the message
Kohl's - nice juniors department
everything runs small
even in the plus sizes
its all like a size or 2 too small
and i dont believe the sizes dont go up too much

Ross and Marshall's
ive never bought anything from there
mainly because they store is usually messy
with clothes everywhere
and sizes just.. not organized, so its whatever

and Palis Royal and that other store
mostly for older people
you know what i mean
maybe 60+

i want a store for me
someone come up with a department store with nice plus sizes clothes
and possibly a juniors plus section
please!?
if i must, i will
a model/clothing designer
haha would you guys buy my stuff?

well you guys
i gotta get to know the internet once again
so like
ill post later
hope you guys had a wonderful thanksgiving
and maybe you can tell me your stories about what happened
thanks for understanding
and comment me
thanks =)
love robyn <3

104 KRBE, The Roula and Ryan Show- you suck

2008-11-21T16:55:00.003-06:00

today on 104 KRBE, on the Roula and Ryan Show
a morning show on the Top 40 radio station in Houston
they were talking about Chubby Mikey
dont know who that is?
well he is a 500lb male
who is so positive of himself
he has a naked calandar of himself coming out
isnt that amazing?
i hope he sells tons of copies

but why does Roula and Ryan suck?
well because Ryan, of the Roula and Ryan show (which he must repeat every 2 seconds)
said "he has a good looking face, if he would lose some weight, he would be a good looking guy"
ok, im sorry that Mikey isnt thin
im sorry he may be "failing" at life because achieving at life to you is being thin
and working out everyday
im sorry Ryan - im sorry YOU FAIL
dont laugh at others because you know you're not good enough

oh but thats not all they talked and laughed about
because its so funny that a fat guy (if you guys dont mind me saying) wants to do what other guys do
im sorry he may seem like a waste of space to you but
god, thank god someone is able to be real in this world!
thank you Mikey

but ANYWAY!
not only that
Ryan had to talk about working out
and how Eric works out and is gaining muscle weiht
but oh no!
Ryan brings up that if he stops working out
he'll become fat
oh god no! not fat!
Ryan et over yourself
being fat doesnt mean you're lazy or its the end of the world
actually, they have diet talks everyday on air
about how they're gaining weight from eating candy for breakfast
even though they work out atleast 3 times a week
ok you're healthy
being thin does not mean you're healthy!
how many damn times do i have to stress that!?

but thats not all that happened this morning
oh no no!
that would just.. you know..
be right
but before i switched the channel to 93Q
which is the best country station ever haha
i heard what was going to be talked about next
"Tricks for how to eat less during the holiday"
really!? i can trick my body into eating less!?
you mean like, drinking water
and gulping on air!?
omg!
because those just work!
i mean, because starvin yourself thin is just..
OMG AMAZING!
starve and get thin because that's so amazingly healthy!

shove it 104
you lost my loyalty to your station
if i ever listen to you again
its because theres nothing else on on the other hundreds of stations
im sick of your fat hating shit
im sick of your fucking body hating shit
im sick of your dieting tips
im sick of you pushing your fat and body hate on other people
god!

i hope Roula and Ryan get fired
the people who were on before them were so much better!
funny and body positive
i guess because the woman wasnt anywhere near todays ideal of thin
but still
i think Roula and Ryan deserve an email
what do you think?
well i hope they lose their jobs
because thy make me feel like shit on the way to school

learn to love yourselfs
and Ryan, let your daughter live
dont shelter her in a room alone
because you dont want her to have bad influences
god.. get a life

but my rant is over
comment please =)
ill post later
bye loves
robyn <3

Obesity Crisis? Uh.. No..

2008-11-08T09:41:00.002-06:00

ok there was no rugby today
it was yesterday - and i didnt go
i know - thats bad
but afterschool practices start soon..
so im def going to be going to those

but anyway!
i read this at Junkfood Science
and it just pissed me off
im glad someone is out there, trying to correct this
sadly, no one knows about the site
but WTF!?
obesity crisis the new bubonic plague?
my god

how many obese children die a day?
prob more than thinner children, right?
but wait..
isnt that because there are more "overweight" and "obese" chidren than
"normal" or "underweight" ones
so wait.. maybe they're dying from you know..
the flu? cancer? chicken pox?
oh but wait!
that cant happen! the obesity is causing you to get sick!

BULLSHIT
my whole school has the flu, stomach virus, or strep -except me
but oh no -its the fat
yeah.. most of those girls in my school barely are a size 8
how do i know?
they keep switching clothes like its a disease
like "can i wear tat shirt?" or "can i borrow your jeans?"
god...

so all obese kids have a higher chance at getting cancer, hm?
i didnt know cancer could be spread like the cold
gah..
yes i know it cant
but how can food change how the cells just..
its sad to think about =(
i hope cancer stops existing =(

but anyway
if obesity is so life threatening
why are these kids growing into fat, or even thin, adults?
were they just an odd one out there
i really dont see how obese kids are more likely to die from complications
like high cholesterol if they eat right
some kids are just bigger
sorry, but its true

people havent changed - the sizes have
sometimes i just think and im like
"wait.. were the sizes realy smaller back then?"
i actually read something about that
this post at She Dances On The Sand
was by a guest post
and it talks about the stiching sizes and how they've changed over the years
its amazing to see that
it shows how sizes have changed and included less

men used to think a bigger woman meant she was perfect for childbearing
healthy
but whats happened since then?
bigger women are told they shouldnt be having children
not at their size
they're unhealthy and horrible
how has this changed!?

...people take ideas and run with it
then someone takes it and makes it more presentable
and woah - once you get doctors into it
it must be true!
...not exactly..

people will say anything to make a dollar
or even a couple million dollars
remember Atkins?
yeah, i proved my point =P

maybe i should do a post on how womens ideal look has changed..
hm i dont know
maybe one day..
well im going to go get ready for..
whatever im doing today
so ill post later
bye

robyn <3

Hello All!

2008-11-07T17:04:00.002-06:00

hey everyone
you guys need to read this
its so sad
four year old children saying they're fat
saying others are worthless and horrible because of their size
how saddening is that?
and im easily upset too

im just so.. sensitive
especially when people say diets do work
i mean.. yeah if someone says it.. like commercials
i know those are fake
but whn i see a "successful" dieter
or someone who is losing
i just get so sad..
so depressed...
i dont know - but i know better when its some troll
which ive never gotten before on this blog
and may never will if no one reads it =(

but anywho..
um..
i get a lot of info from Junkfood Science
and you guys should read it - seriously
its good..

2008-11-05T17:39:00.002-06:00

Obama won the election and thats great
i dont really agree on his issues (im a very conservative republican)
but um..
my mom is happy
because im half black and yeah..
she's the black side so ya haha
but yeah
thats cool - it gives people hope
i think..

but yeah
for you people who are feminist, you prob hate me because im
anti abortion which is "against a woman's choice"

Homecoming 2008

2008-10-27T17:10:00.003-05:00

hey whats up?
saturday night was the homecoming dance
and it was..
not that great
i mainly just sat there during the whole dance
there was no one to dance with
because i didnt have a date
um..
i dont really have friends..
so that.. wasnt really good
yes i went with a group
with people who had dates -.-
but yeah..

i looked pretty good i guess
wish i could find a dress without black in it, but thats how it goes down for fatties
i guess..
since black is "slimming"
but im sick of black
this lady at this dress shop was trying to sell me a black dress
but i said no
im sick of black
and will always be
dark purple is my color i think
but oh well - fatties dont get colors, right?

pisses me off SO BAD
i want some color
everyone has the right for colors!!!
i want some rubies, some emerald greens (which i wanted my dress to be), yellows, oranges
give me something thats pretty look at
please?
but you know, because im fat
im less than a person - even though im bigger than the average person..
but you know what i mean
im a "2nd class citizen" because im fat

Homecoming Almost Here =)

2008-10-23T17:09:00.003-05:00

hey everyone
i just want to say again, read the blog I AM in shape. Round is a Shape
she commented and i think thats just really sweet
so you guys, (if anyone even reads my blog...) please check it out
thankies =)
(haha i prob sound like a HUGE loser)

but um, in other news
drama at school really dont want to talk about it
its the worse during this week because its Homecoming week
everyone wants to look different, you know..

but what i really wanted to talk about is
my school handing out free t-shirts
yes i know, nothing to complain about tha
but when it only comes in one size - a Large
a Large from Hollister
which is actually a small in normal stores

yes, most of the girls were able to wear it
but tere we some who could not
like me
it couldnt fit it over my shoulders
let alone my boobs
come on now, seriously

Hollister's clothes are like.. for children
they're tiny and the store just..
omg, the smell is overbearing
just walking past it at the mall gives me a horrible headache
i couldnt imagine walking in there
and shopping
and with my fat ass* - i dont have to

but really
why do stores sell these tiny clothes!?
i actually know girls who shop at Abercrombie - the kids store

but anyway - i know, they dont want fatties to shop there
and buy their clothes
and taint the name of the precious brand forever!!!
OH NOES!!!

...no but really...
you're setting up the bigger girls who cannot fit
the girls who cant wear what their friends are wearing
to develop an eating disorder
no im not saying they have to carry larger sizes
but god, can you atleast make the clothes the PROPER size?

when i see a L, i dont want to think
"that looks like it should be on a doll"
and its sad that girls starve themselves to look like that
its awful
i want to give every girl a teddy bear
and say "look, isnt he cute?"
and ya..

teddy bears arent thin
if they were, they would be kinda hard to squeeze and hug, wouldnt they?
im not saying all thin people are anorexic, im really not
im just saying, people need to see theres more to life than being thin
theres more life than wanting to be something you're not
i dont know
maybe my whole idea is stupid
i dont know anymore

but um..
Football Game tomorrow night
so no post tomorrow, im sorry
and then the dance on Saturday night
so ya
ill try to post Sunday
but until then, ill see you guys later
bye bye =)
robyn <3

* no, im not saying that in a bad way =P

Eat This, Not That!

2008-10-21T17:10:00.003-05:00

the book Eat This, Not That! Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-Or More! is probably well known amoung dieters
this books tells you wat to eat if you want to lose weight
commenters say it helps tem see what food are "healthy"
well everything is, if its in "moderation"
what is moderation?
the blog I AM In Shape, ROUND Is A Shape actually addresses this in a post from last month
what is moderation?
does it change depending on body size?
does it change from ow tall or short you are?
or the horrible, incorrect BMI?
whats an extreme?
eating all day? or eating a whole plateful?
what is it?

Well no one knows, not even doctors - ask them next time you're in for a checkup
ask them whats healthy
and what do they mean by moderation?
many will say "eating what you need" or "not excessively"
but whats excessive? whats what i need?
people used to live off of wine and bread!
come on now - i need a number
a CONSTANT
not a VARIABLE (if you're good with math, you get it)
i want to know how much is ok
i want to know!

but ill adress this later
please check out I AM in Shape, ROUND is a Shape
thanks
it is a VERY good blog

now back to the book Eat This, Not That
according to Amazon.com's Product Description
it cant help you control your life!!!
stop getting fat
stop eating what you want - eat what they tell you to eat
because its better for you and you'll lose weight

The sad thing is, theres a kid's version
dont only deny yourself food, but deny your kids what they want
wont they be happy!?
according to te product description, kids are getting fatter
and its the supermarkets and fast foods fault
but YOU can fight it!

not only are we taking fat kids away from home
and putting preschoolers on diets
but we're telling parents they're horrible
and should be giving their kids better foods
because you know - parents are incapable of raising their own children
well.. some arent really the best - but still
theres good parents out there, doing a great job
but being told they're failing because their child isnt "normal"

its a horrible world we live in
and its sad to say im a part of this generation who is afraid of being fat
who is wanting fat people to die because we're horrible
and we eat too much, etc.
i want it to stop
i may be the only person - but dammit im going to fight it
fight as hard as i can, because i know if i dont - no one else will

im sorry if that seems....
stupid but ok
i still would like to TRY to change things
even if they look hopeless
so are you with me, or against me?

Finally Found A Dress..

2008-10-19T09:44:00.002-05:00

I finally found a homecoming dress
one ill keep!
haha
its pink and it has a thin black meshy overlay with black glitter
it also has a pink sash.. well not sash, because its sewn on the dress,
but its pink and it comes to a bow in the front
im sorry i dont have a pic, but Dillard's (where i went) didnt have one

i went to the Galleria, the biggest mall in the city
and yeah - a lot of walking
but we found it =)

i got sore like, before we left the mall
especially since before i was running around, sweating, from rugby
which i LOVE
but um..
yes i did shower and wash my hair - which is in curls now
because i didnt feel like straightening it

but before i went to The Galleria, where i found "the one"
me and my mom went to this Formal Gown store
and well - yeah they had dresses in my size
but they didnt fit me in my boobage
and they were over $400!!!
i dont have that kind of money!
(my new homecoming dress was only $35 =P)
i dont know
and the dresses werent even flattering!
except one - it was gorgeous, but as i said
too small in the boobage and over $400
it was dark red, an in the light it has an orange tint- so pretty =)
and it was a big pickup dress (where the bottom "picks up" in places)
so my mom said maybe for prom next year
so im pretty excited =)

Rugby.. what can i say besides i love it
and people say im pretty good
im sorta pissed about people trying to take over the captains job
but i dont know
i wish they would stop saying "move this way" or "run for the ball!" when we're on defense
when they say move one way, it leaves a huge hole in the middle or an open space on the side
where there's only 2 people
and then when they say run for the ball - again, you're leaving an OPEN SPACE somewhere for them to run and score
keep the damn wall of defense
i dont know, maybe its just me
i just think if we play like that, we'll never beat anyone

haha but um...
gosh i cant wait, homecoming week is this week
its going to be fun
and dont expect a post on friday and saturday..
maybe not on sunday.. i dont know
depends on how tired i am
but um..
rugby is saturday and i cant go because
i have to get a mani/pedi, eyebrows and hair done
and yeah - with my hair, it takes HOURS
so haha i cant go

so everyone have a great week
and have fun =)
bye bye <3

Happy Love Your Body Day 2008

2008-10-15T16:16:00.002-05:00

Its Stop Fat Talk Week
and im sorry i didnt tell you earlier
but it is
and its Love Your Body Day today
so love it
because its the only one you have - and you get no other chance at this life
so LIVE IT UP!
um, the Tri Deltas (or Delta Delta Deltas) have a program
trying to stop fat talk
which is saying "im so fat" or "i need to lose a couple of pounds"
which do need to end, because it makes you and other people feel bad
Watch the video here

no one should be told, even by themselves
that they're not pretty enough, thin enough, or good enough
because everyone is
everyone comes in different sizes
healthy is not set at a size
healthy is not just working out
but it also depends on mental health
you gotta believe in yourself
and love yourself to be healthy

thats all im saying

but you guys are wondering how college night went
oh and gosh - i havent talked how that rugby saturday was
well it was pretty awesome
and i was sore for a while, but it was great!
and college night
i found a nice college
its called Drew University
and ya - totally awesome

but.. i think ill prob rant later
i just wanted to you check out the video
and sign the pledge after
and enforce it
because i am

well ill post later
bye <3

Fat Girls Not Going To College?

2008-10-13T16:37:00.003-05:00

Now, have any of you guys heard about fat girls not going to college?
i have - and i believe it
i know, you guys are prob like "img fat and i want to go to college"
and thats awesome!
because i really couldnt take 4-6 more years of school
like hell no
even 2 years is too much
i dont even want to finish up this year
and im a Junior!
but um..
heres a few links:
Big Girls Don't Go to College?
Does Weight in High School Determine College Plans?
Overweight Kids: College Less Likely

alright, i couldnt find anymore good links because they were all
"send your kids to fat camp!" or "poorer test scores with overweight kids"
like whatever - i wouldnt be in honors classes then

but anyway!
these articles deal with how "overweight" and "obese" kids are less likely to go to school
because they were picked on so badly in highschool and in younger schools
that they have no confidence
and they want a way out
and not going to college is an answer
and thats really sad

yes i know, but what about me
i know, i dont want to go to college
but thats because high school is overly stressful
and if college is harder
lets stay away
before i shoot myself from the stress

but anyway
when you're told you're so fat and worthless from like..
elementary school
it sticks with you
no little thing like "you look pretty" or "you're not fat" can change it
because you were told this and it just cant be changed

lets say..
from the beginning
you were told red is blue
and all through school and college you were told red is blue
until someone comes up and says "red is not blue, red is red" (i know confusing, sorry)
and then you're like "what? no, you're wrong, red is blue"
and then you just dont comprehend it because you were told this from the beginning
what you grow up with is usually what keeps with you
it just doesnt change in a moment
it take months or years to get over it
because its not just like changing your favorite movie or color
its hard and it takes you mind getting used to

im going to let you guys in on something
i still havent gotten into the whole FA things
i still have a lot of fat days
where i think im so fat, and i should get WLS (weight loss surgery)
no matter how dangerous it is
but i know better
and im learning - im trying hard to learn
and you guys are going to be going through this with me so yeah
haha
i need support

but what do you thin about the overweight girls not going to college?
i know how it feels
i wanted to quit school in junior high
because i was picked on SO BAD
ill have to tell you a story one day
even when i was little i got picked on
horribly

but i think everyone should be able to go to college if they really want
or if its like.. something they've dreamed about
no one should be picking on others because of how they look

i know, everyone says fat people are fat because its their fault
but its not our faults
i was born big, grew up big, and im still big
and will be for the rest of my life
and people just have to accept it
and i will talk about and yell at people who tell me im not good enough
because when you talk back, they have no comeback
i mean, who thinks about what you're going to say to something if they confront you?
like never - because confrontations never happen

but i believe its sad that self-confidence is so low
and teasing is so high
that its keeping people from living their lives
and i know how it feels
to be so ashamed of my fat
that i couldnt go out because i looked so bad
but im overcoming it gradually
and im glad im getting over it

live life how i am now
because if i keep waiting for my wish to be thin to come true
ill never get to do anything

so ill prob post more later
but i have to go to a college fair, and i gotta leave at 6
which is 45 mins away haha
so um, ill post later - prob tomorrow
so until then
mwah
love ya
robyn <3

Thanks For Trying Seventeen, But You FAIL....Again

2008-10-12T10:57:00.002-05:00

so i hope this is the last issue i get in the mail

i had to email them again

because they're leaving out the plus sized

yes, i know, 14 is a plus size

but it doesnt stop there, or does it?

i guess im an animal now because im over the size 14/16

god im just so sick of Seventeen
im never reading again - not after my subscription

and i told them that
im so sick of their shit!

So this is the November 2008 issue

look at the left of the cover

"Fashion, Beauty, & Body Tricks!"

and look! "Get Hot Abs!!"

WOW!!

because you know, i need to be told how fat i am

that i need tricks so i can lose weight

and wear the sizes that come in the magazine

The Body Peace Issue

So in this issue, Seveteen addresses Body Peace

love yourself

and you know what!?

Designers made clothes for everyone!

except anyone over the size 14

the clothes that the "curvy" girls are wearing are a size 14, or a size 10

mainly because well, where it has the info of the clothes - those are the biggest size

LIKE WTF!?

i dont wear a size 14, and im pretty damn sure im not close to a size 10

im a size 20

add a couple of sizes

like damn..

what about sizes 16,18,20,24,26,28,30 etc

what about those girls?

dont they get a chance to look pretty and feel good about themselves?

i guess not

i guess those girls arent pretty

oh what am i thinking

thats right - because all fat people are ugly and of course, fat wastes of space

god..

Quince 101

i do not celebrate Quinces -mainly because im not Mexican

or anything like that

hell, i didnt even get a sweet 16 - but i did get a car

but anyway

if you're over the size 14 - too bad

theres no dress for you in this little quince guide for you lucky girls turning 15

i guess, if you're FAT you dont deserve to have a party or be celebrated, you know

i mean god!!

they put a damn size 10 as "curvy"

alright, im sorry, i forgot to tell you about the dress that goes up to a 25

its not even a party dress!

its a damn summer dress that you should be going out and getting tanned arms or something

and it looks like the cloth is just sitting on the model

its not even flattering

im sorry girls but - there should be more sizes in the "curvy" range

even the short people get nice dresses in the "short" range

this dress is nice, it goes to a size 30 but oh wait..

buy it online because you cant go anywhere else like with the lower sized dresses

damn,.. better develop anorexia now*

but dont worry - just because all the 16+ dresses are "online only" doesnt mean you cant find a nice dress somewhere else

Get Hot Abs!

OMG! BECAUSE ITS SO POSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE MY ABS!

well its not..

oh look! i can get Carrie Underwood's hot legs!!!

all i have to do is lay on my back and move my legs

WOOOAH!! its not like she was born with thin legs!

ok look..

#1. if you want a girl to try these moves out - on use a size 2 model

#2. if you want to sell the work out clothes - put them in over a L (yes the tank is a XXL, but what about the shorts or sneakers? i dont wear a size 9 shoe)

if i really believed these moves would work for me - i would want to be included

#3. you can go online and get moves created FOR YOU! ...if youre not fat

yes thats right, you can get moves too!!! if you have pretty much no body fat

you can see your muscles and everything

oh boy!!

#4 It's healthier to be a vegetarian

now im not disagreeing - but the way they say "dont eat this youll get fat" is horrible

"done right, vegetarian diets are low in saturated fat and high in vitamins. if you do eat meat, get lean turkey or ham on your sandwich, and pick lean sirloin burgers (look for "95% lean" on the label)"

did they get the memo?

it was proven that saturated fats really dont give you high blood pressure

but of course - i just do tons of research on this stuff

god i guess im so stupid for gathering different facts up

sorry guys

Oh NO! if you go to a Cafe to eat, dont grab for those sugary and startchy bagels!! youll get fat!! OH NOES!!

instead, bring your own food from home, and see how fast youll get kicked out of the restuarant

*face palm*

thanks Seventeen - get me in trouble

i know, why dont you just.. i dont know.. eat what you want?

i guess i shouldnt say that, because you know

you can get fat

One more thing i have to rant on..

ok maybe 2

the curvy model fo the "Trend for You" clothing options

she looks like shit

those clothes so not match - and it looks like she just put something on in the dark

THANKS

because we need to be made fun of in a magazine for having "no fashion sense"

god i would nevr wear this - this shows us bigger girls have NO options at stores in the mall

seriously.

oh, and everything the mocel is wearing - L or XL, except the cami

which is a wtf - but yeah, you know, im just nit picking now

Ashley Tisdale

the girl who hated how she looked so much

that she got a nose job

is this the girl we want little girls looking up to?

if you dont like it, get it fixed?

if i had a daughter, i wouldnt buy her these magazines

mainly because they create false role models

and because they dont like the different

UGH!

so this is my Seventeen SCREW YOU post

there may be another if i get one more magazine, so yeah.. sorry =/

but until then - ill talk to you lovelies later

bye bye <3

* im being sarcastic - please dont <3

Fat Means Unhealthy

2008-10-11T09:57:00.002-05:00

so many people believe if you're fat
you're unhealthy and you eat too much and/or badly
which im here to say is NOT true
i love fruit and veggies
i try to stay away from meat as much as i can
but thats pretty much all my dad cooks
but um..
not saying that meat is bad but yeah
i do eat healthy - i dont just eat garbage all day
i dont eat potato chips, instead i eat these Flat Earth Veggie Chips
they're so good
and they're not greasy or salty - which is why i dont eat potato chips anyway

but you're prob wondering why im writing this
well i have Rugby today
and yeah - many people prob think im too fat and ill slow people down
i may not be a runner, but still, i love being active (no not sexually -.-)

i remember freshman year in health class
we had a day where we had to test to see what ranges we were in
i dont remember any of the ranges except "average" or "normal"
i remember doing the situps and only half of us went, the other half watched until we were done
we had to do as many as we could in a minute
i was the fastest one out there haha
and people were like "woah, look!"
because you know, they've never seen a fat person who actually works out
and then we had the step test
we stepped on a bench as fast as we could in a minute
and we tested out heart rate
i was in the "normal" column when i checked my heart rate
woah, a fattie can have that?
well apperantly, yes

i was a couple of pounds lighter then - i do admit it
but still, i havent really changed
then there was one more test
we had to run laps
which im not good at - i hate running laps
im always the last one
running is fun after i get a little jogging or something in
but if i just go straight to running
yeah, its hard for me
which is why i hate running so much

when i was younger i would get picked first and stuff because i was fast
but i think my fastness ran out haha
but the point im trying to make is
just because im fat, doesnt mean im unhealthy or anything
they're not interchangable
they are totally different

my blood pressure is fine
it does go up because i freak out A LOT when i go to the doctor
but yeah, its fine
i love Kate Harding's Don't You Realize Fat Is Unhealthy?
it makes a lot of sense
and i know, i link there a lot
which means you need to visit
now!

well rugby doesnt start for a while but
i think i should go get ready
so ill post later
love ya
robyn <3

I Skipped The Game

2008-10-09T20:13:00.002-05:00

I didnt go to the game - i had a fever and i had over 2 hours worth of homework to do
so ya
lucky for you guys, i get to post about today

um.. besides missing the biggest game of the year
which is going to be broadcast on tv tomorrow
those skinny jeans...
they're very loose on me, so they dont look liek "skinny jeans" at all
they look like straight legs that are a little too big on me
when i can take the jeans off with unzipping or undoing the button
they're a little too big
but hopefully they're shrink when i wash them

um.. lets see..
my shirt was pretty much red today that i wore
but it was Orange Out day
(our victory color is orange)
and our rival school was red...
so not good =P

lets see what else what else..
have you guys been looking at the side bar?
checking out the links?
i hope so - those links are awesome
read read read

and totally tell people about this blog
please please please
ill love you forever

this weekend i have tons of homework
so if i dont post until Sunday or Monday night..
im sorry
im going to start my history tomorrow night, rugby Saturday
and Sunday finish history homework
so ya
im busy but ill try, k?

well i dont have much to say at the moment
so ill post when i come up with something
alright - bye bye lovelies <3

I Got Some Skinny Jeans =)

2008-10-08T20:06:00.002-05:00

One day I was searching through the Fatosphere and found this link on Being Too Fat For Skinny Jeans.
So you know what i did?
i went to Torrid and bought the first pair of skinny jeans that fit me
let me just say - i look pretty damn sexy
my butt is round, my calves are.. small - but muscular
and even though i have large thighs - im still sexy
meow!
well tomorrow im wearing them to school
we have a spirit day so like -no uniform - oh yeah!
but um..

i went to look for ANOTHER homecoming dress today
me and my mom went to a dress shop
and well.. found nothing
i saw a dress i liked and well...
it would fit me - but not in the chest area
48 chest - wee wow
so yeah... it sucks
my mom is making me hate my red dress now =(
*sigh* oh well, ill wear the white one i originally had
save the money..

but ok, seriously
why dont they make homecoing and prom dresses bigger?
why are all the cute ones in only small sizes?
i would seriously LOVE to have a cute dress like all the other girls
but no,every year
its a long black dress - a simple one
i want something colorful, and short
and FLATTERING
excuse me but maybe i want to show something off besides my ankles?
maybe i want to show more of my arms and chest, and a little of my calves
god forbid my knees
but really, wouldnt you want to look pretty too?
instead of looking like you just chose something because you had NO options?
yeah, thought so

so anyway, tomorrow i have to go to the football game
so friday night, ill probably post again
sorry for the short post but im tired
even though its 8:15
so ill talk to you beauties later
bye bye <3

Aw School Tomorrow =(

2008-10-05T15:42:00.002-05:00

Hey lovelies
i wanted to make another post, because i know i will be busy tomorrow
and will be until atleast wednesday
so i wanted to post something quickly

Lane Bryant is carrying more and more mature clothing
and you know what i mean by mature
clothes that cover your curves and show nothing
so thats really not a good place for girls my age to shop
i wish they would carry something for younger shoppers
but anyway

the main point of this post is about Old Navy
you know, that fun place with everyone in scarves and hats
dancing around
but anyway!!!
if you read Kate Harding's Shapely Prose, she posted a while back about how Old Navy got rid of their plus sizes in stores
well it didnt affect me this much because they did carry some XXLs in some of the clothes (which is what i wear)
but of course, they didnt have many of the cute skirts in my size in stores =(
but ya
i went today to look for some shorts or something to work out in because i do have rugby next weekend
i look around, sweatpants, i guess because its etting colder everywhere else
so i look around, especially in clearance
i looked at skirts too, because im trying to buy something so i look cute
but theres no 18s or XXLs
um ok.. but there are a lot of smalls and mediums
erm ok

i found this cute dress too
it was like.. i dont know what the dresses are called but.. haha yeah
but it was just a straight dress
but there were no XXLs, of course the cute stuff doesnt come in my size
and the XLs are too small in the chest so..
of course i didnt get it
and i cant fit into a size 16 skirt
so i didnt get the denim pleated skirt i wanted

Ok Old Navy
What is it?
do you not like fat people?
is that why your women's plus is "exclusively online"?
i dont want to buy something ive never seen before or tried on
and just buy it, hoping itll fit and itll look good on me!
i want to see it, touch it, and make sure its what i want
im sorry i want to look good
i know im not allowed to because of my size
but GODDD!!!
just give me something =(

im 16 and i cant shop where other girls shop
i cant go everywhere and try on every homecoming dress at stores
trying to find "the one"
my "one" is usually the one that fits me
and i can afford
because the plus sized dresses are so damn expensive!
but you know, some place (such as Macy's) dont even give you anything if you're over the size 14!
im sorry im so fat
but im not going to starve myself to get to a size thats not even reasonable
just give me, a normal teenager, a normal clothes shopping experience

stupid big corporations think they're too good to give clothing to everyone
you know, because we're just "too fat" to walk around in their clothes
give their store a "bad name"
actually i think it would be a good name
EQUALITY - you know, where everyone is treated the same
and you know people tell other people about
"they had it in my size", "they had such cute things in this size", etc.
but no, i have to go around saying

Shopping For Dresses Makes Me Depressed

2008-10-04T20:50:00.003-05:00

Today i went to the mall
and well.. went shopping for a different homecoming dress (i owned one, but its white.. and yeah..)
so i went shopping all around - Dillard's (where i found the purple dress i wanted at first), Camille de Vie (also had the purple dress, and a nice a line princess dress), and Torrid (where i bought my new *red* homecoming dress)
i also went to Macy's

me and my mom looked around in the women's department - no cocktail dresses
so we're just like, alright, maybe they're downstairs with the others
i swear - no dress was over a size 14
actually - if you found that size in a nice dress that wasnt a Mother of the Bride dress, you get like a prize
all that were left were size 6's and 4's and 2's
and Mediums - which, i dont know what size numerically that is
but thats sad - all their merchandise was.. in small sizes

im upset with Dillard's also, all their "dressy" dresses were in black or black with a little white
come on now - give the bigger women some color - and dresses with a figure honestly..
i dont want something cloaking my "curves" and making me look even bigger or even pregnant
but anyway..
Camille de Vie.. not many plus sized dresses
i found 5 - max
the rest were petites
i dont know... maybe its just me
if i just lost weight, you know, just stop eating..
also - no short dresses in the petites or plus size (which was VERY limited)
only the junior sizes (which only went to a Large) were short
yeah.. thanks.. -.-

Torrid - not many homecoming type dresses
there were 3 at the location i went to
pink, red, and black
and i bought the red one so yay
its short
Picture here

but anyway
come on you guys!
there are tons of fat teenage girls out there who need prety dresses
i def need dresses
and im gaining weight!!!
which means i need to get off my ass and do something..
(good thing i have rugby next weekend)
but god.. i want to look just as good as the skinny chicks i go to school with
that means i want more colors, more styles, more everything

im fine if you charge me a little more for these clothes
just make them avaliable!
and put them in stores - dont just put them 0nline
not even fat person is "mature"
and im a walking bilboard for that!
i want younger style clothes avaliable to me when i go to the mall
because i LOVE WALKING around the mall
yes - fat people can love to walk to
i just want a reason to shop

its sad, i live in the 4th largest city in the country
and theres no where i can truly shop around here
no homecoming dresses - and just forget prom dresses - for me
yes im just ranting right now but
this needs to change
i hate finding nothing but black dresses!
good thing i dont get invited to parties or asked out on dates
i would have nothing to wear
thanks to these stupid big corporations shoving the fat people in the dirt
because we're not worth their time and effort!!!

WELL SCREW THEM
if i have to ILL make my own clothes
ill sell my clothes and everything
and ill taking sewing classes and yeah..
start a business
who knows lol
alright i think thats it for tonight
robyn out <3

Sorry, Theres Nothing For You In This Category

2008-10-04T08:56:00.003-05:00

So i went to Seventeen magazine's website
seeing if anything changed

let me just say, not for the best

they do have a Body Peace page

but you know what? its bullshit

mainly because they tell you how to lose weight

or make you question if your friends are making you unhealthy on the website
because you know, pizza is going to make you fat

but anyway
what totally pissed me off is that new Virtual Model crap

body type

alright so i made my model, put in my weight and height and body type and wait..
wtf? i end up looking huge wth a double chin - yeah, just because im big, doesnt mean i have a double chin- especially one so profound
Picture Here
i dont know, maybe im just being too sensitive about this

clothing

so i go to dress up my model and wait.. what?
theres no clothes avaliable?
but when i click on denim, omg i get a choice of 4 pairs!!!!
ok wait.. theres no skirts, pants, shirts, jackets, etc for my model
i guess because of my size? oh thats great - tell the girls to love themselves, but dont have clothes for ALL virtual models
oh yeah, spread that body peace
oh but dont worry, besides jeans, we have tights and scarves
my model may no have a shirt or anything besides jeans to cover her, but i have scarves!!!
that helps so much!!
seriously..

over all model

Seventeen, im sorry but, you fail
not only do you tell girls not to eat this, and to do this to get abs or "toned legs"
but you dont cater clothing - not even made up VIRTUAL clothing- for plus sized virtual models
am i knit picking?
yes - but come on!!! this is ridiculous
not only do they forget about the plus sized girls in the real world, but online too
what does this say about the company!!!???

Real girls, Real issues - thats the point of the magazine, right?
WELL PUT SOME REAL GIRL CLOTHIN IN THERE
i want more plus sized girls, more plus sized clothes
and less dieting and losing weight tips
for god's sake - start the body peace revolution
dont just put a link on your website about it
actually act it

Seventeen - you are fake, and ill never buy, or possibly read it again
unless i need something to rant on
thank you very much

School and Whatnot

2008-10-03T17:11:00.002-05:00

hey everyone, sorry i havent posted in a few days
i was going to post more quotes on wednesday but i got lazy
sorry
and i would have done it today, but i left my book at school

but in that class, we were talking more about more human dignity
everyone is born with it, and no one can take it away
it works for fat acceptance because it shows everyone is equal
if dignity cannot be diminished, and everyone has an equal amount
why are people treated as less?

well anyway..
im sick of the thin girls always saying "oh my god, im so fat"
yeah.. because 125 lbs is really fat
it offends me because well, im a lot heavier - 100 lbs heavier
and when someone who is under a size 8 - or even a size 12 says they're fat
it makes me feel like a cow because im a lot bigger and heavier

i want to find a way to make these girls shut up
why do they think they're fat!?
theres no way a irl my height would be healthy at 100 lbs
which is what these girls want
they really hate themselves because they're "so fat"

ugh!!!
i think im going to like.. write a book
or flyers and put them in peoples lockers
so theyll know
i dont know..

but right now, i want to talk about Quick Weight Loss centers
first off, its the most recent diet ive been on
which was.. freshman year i believe
well i lost the food book due to the leakage in the house
but let me just say i couldnt eat any sugar
no carrots,well.. pretty much no veggies that arents green
no fruit after 6 PM
no more than 3 pieces of fruit (no grapes or anything sugary)
no candy - they gave you bars and drinks.. well, you bought that stuff from them
you had to constantly drink water
because when you think you're hungry, you actually were just thirsty
you could not eat beef more than twice a week

i know, this may not be much to some dieters
but think of all the foods you cannot eat
because theres a lot of sugar
i dont know but this was a killer for me
i love chocolate, and i couldnt have any
no bagels or cereal or cookies
but um yeah... haha

anyway..
i think this is about it
i do not have much to say im sorry
but ill prob have more later, like i usually do

check the links out on the sidebar
and till then, ill post later
bye bye loves <3

2008-09-29T17:44:00.002-05:00

hello everyone
just thought id post
i did have school today - and will be until my next break (in November)
but anyway, today in Theology
(religion class that i have to take all 4 years of high school, because i go to a Catholic school)
i found 2 little sections that has much to do with this
yes it is a Catholic religion class - but im agnostic at the moment
but dont worry, this applies to everyone

"Other people are okay; so are you. Just because people do things that we
don't care for does not neccessarily make them bad people. People do pretty much
what they want to do. But they still deserve respect. So do you!" (Pennock, Michael. Your Life in Christ : Foundations of Catholic Morality. New York: Ave Maria P, 2001. 31.)

now.. think about that quote...
what are you thinking?
i was thinking - if a person does not want to diet, do not look down on them
why?
well because every human DESERVES respect, no matter what!
just because YOU dont like what someone else is doing
does not mean they're stupid or horrible, its just what they want to do

"You dont have to control everything. Little good comes from getting upset
about things we can't change. Besides, it is impossible to control
everything
anyhow. We all must learn to deal with reality as it is,
not as we would
like it to be. And we must learnto accept other
people and even
ourselves, with all out limitations." (Pennock, Michael. Your Life in Christ : Foundations of Catholic Morality. New York: Ave Maria P, 2001. 31.)

(emphasis mine)
hm..? what do you think?
maybe that.. we should accept ourselves as who we are
instead of trying to change
especially for the worst

yes, dieting helps you lose weight - for a year
then here comes the weight again
not because you're weak - trust me, you're not
your body needs things - and if you take it away
it cant function correctly
it may gain weight because its holding on to something
you body "ate" the fat because it contained something it neede

whatever you think - do not think you're the blame for your fat
your body does what it does
if you cant lose, or if you cant keep it off
just.. be happy with who you are
and live life as you are now
not what you think youll be in three months if you go on a diet
enjoy life now!

dont make fun of others
no one should be harrassed because they're eating this
or they're not doing that
stop it - everyone should be respected
everyone has feelings, everyone has tough times
everyone has insecurities
even though you may not believe it
just treat others as you want to be treated
golden rule right?

im sorry this is a short post
if you have any questions or.. anything
anything you want me to talk about or post about
leave a comment or email me at prettycurvygirl@hotmail.com
thanks you guys
and remember to love yourselves =)

if i dont post for a while, please dont be mad - i have tons of stuff to do for school
thankies!

Hungry Girl - EAT SOMETHING DAMMIT!

2008-09-27T18:35:00.006-05:00

you know what im sick of?
Hungry Girl on Yahoo
thanks - because we need to be told, dont eat that, eat this
youll gain TONS of weight!
like things to stay away from in vending machines - which also appeared in the October issue of CosmoGirl!
hm.. im guessing people dont have time to go out
so they use vending machines - which you should stay away from because OH NOES!
the fatness is coming!!!
im sorry but Hungry Girl - shut up -.-
i dont need to know what not to eat, and what to eat instead
im through with diets! and thats that!

This dress is really cute
problem?
its black!!!
i know that black is slimming
but im sick of every damn dress in plus sizes is BLACK
cant i get some color?
i dont look that great in black - makes me look pale and...sad...
you know what does look good on me?
a dark blue (like royal blue) or dark purple (like a plum purple)
but no - thats too much to ask for
some color - any color!
just get rid of all the black!
so if you own a store that has nothing but black dresses
or has all the nice party dresses in black
please add some color
and i will email Torrid about it
and maybe other places too

thanks for reading my ranting
till next time
robyn <3

About Me

2008-09-26T11:08:00.002-05:00

hey everyone
im taking a break from ranting today to talk about me - robyn =)
um where should i start?
well im robyn
im 16 and im a size 18
haha just thought you would like to know
no im not tall, im a shortie, so when i pack on weight, you see it
but oh well =P
um, im just starting this whole FA thing - actually just started this summer
because i couldnt help but see things in magazines what wasnt me
and i wanted to change so bad
i would be on the treadmill for 2 hours

but i read this thread on a messageboard that was so fat hate
it made me want to just, die because
i wasnt thin, and all these people hated fat people
they wanted them to go die, and just starve themselves because well..
they were taking up space and they were worthless
which is not true!
no one is worthless, especially if you do have a little extra to love =P

but i spent one day - 3 hours on the treadmill
i had such a big panic attack - seriously
i pretty much going to pass out because like..
i wouldnt eat or anything
but um..
ok - i lost like no weight from 3 months on the treadmill
but i got healthier
and i do eat healthier now
veggies are good =)

anyway, you're prob wondering how i got to know FA
well that fat hatred thread was about that movie Wall-E
and im not mad about them using fat lazy people
because i know not everyone that is fat is lazy
so it didnt offend me
but it talked about fat acceptnce
so i searched it and found blogs
and it made me feel.. great

ive dieted pretty much my whole life
because i always had to fit into this
get nice clothes
i got made fun of
my mom told me to lose weight
and she still tries
but i just need to like.. take it out of my life, seriously
the media and crap does enough to make fat people feel awful
so ya

Im totally against The Biggest Loser
because all those people do is work out and eat as little as possible
and i cant.. take it
my mom wants to go on the show with me but im like no
because im not going to lose all that - get sick and become obsessed
to gain it back because i have school
because i get stressed
and then i end up becoming anorexic because i cant control it
im already psycho - dont make it worse lol

i have been big since i was a baby
ive never been thin
i grew boobs in like, the 2nd grade
and i wore junior sizes
so i was never small
i never had small boobs either
but thats besides the point

Yes i may wear a 18 or 2X, but it doesnt mean im lazy and stupid
im fun and outgoing
i love to go places and walk around
its fun - seeing things and feeling the air
amazing
but due to school - i dont have time
i have 3 things due in one class at one time
isnt that awful?
but im trying

um.. theres prob more im leaving out but, i cant think of it so
ill write more later
and please spread the word about this blog
please and thank you =)

Who Is FA For? What About DIETS?

2008-09-25T09:28:00.002-05:00

Well hello - nice to see you here =)
hey you guys i have a request, if you read this, can you tell others about this blog
please?
i get the feeling no one reads it, and i would love to start getting feedback
especially about the post i posted a couple of days ago
asking what you think a woman should look like.

but anywho,this post is going to discuss who FA is for, well who i believe its for
for whom
haha i never got the difference between who and whom
but um.. i believe FA (fat acceptance) is for .. anyone
anyone who believe everyone should be respected for how they look
i mean.. ok, thats like size acceptance

haha i dont know,i just believe anyone can be involved in it
its for.. anyone who has been picked on because they were too big, even though you're not
because you didnt fit the standards of "pretty"
its like,i totally know how you feel
ive been picked on for forever
haha people thought i was a boy when i was a tiny baby
theres no doubt that i am a girl

but anyway - you are beautiful
everyone is
dont let some idiot with his head shoved up their ass tell you any different

why is thin always attributed to "healthy" and "beautiful"?
why is that?
i never understood
those people who starve themselves to get thin are NOT healthy
they're refusing food - all the nutrients they need to be thin
which is attributed to healthy

woah woah woah
did you just get that?
keeping yourself from food is not
A. mentally healthy
B. physically healthy

you know that thing called the food pyramid?
you know if you take something out - the pyramid collaspes
or if something gets smaller - it cant sustain the weight and
CRASH!
there goes the whole stable nutrition guide

Diets - they tell you to stay away from this or that
telling you to subtract some or a whole group of food from the pyramid
which makes it topple over and makes you unhealthy
no matter how much water you drink or how much you exercise
taking something out of a normal diet without replacing it with something that givesyou the same nutrients and things you need
makes your body sick

you may lose weight, but your body may suffer in a certain way
such as your brain may become unable to concentrate on work
because its lacking its nutrients such as Choline - which can be found in oatmeal and potatoes - which is usually what diets tell you not to eat because of the carbs
but you can also find them in cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, lettuce, brussel sprouts, and kale.
but how many people like brussel sprouts? seriously..
but if thats not enough, what are some other things that the body needs?

well obviously carbohydrates because its the way that the body gets its energy
what if you cut out most of the calories your body needs?
you'll become tired, of course
and if you're tired, your brain's tired
and how much work can someone on a diet do?
especially if all they'rethinking about is
"i cant eat this today, too many calories..too many carbs..ill just eat a salad with no dressing.."
is that healthy!? thinking about every detail, breaking down everything in your food
so you wont eat "too many calories"?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
seriously, if your body doesnt get what it needs, it will break down
you will get sick

if you take out some vegetables and any breads or cereals
you'll be getting rid of what you really need - Folate
which makes red blood cells
but dont you need red blood cells?
WELL NO DAMN DUH!
what do you think is in blood?
red food coloring?
red blood cells have hemoglobin which picks up oxygen
well if you are deficient in red blood cells because you arent eating..
then your body isnt getting enough oxygen..
hm.. do you think you think youll be ok?

ok im sorry about ranting but - come on!
look at what i just posted - and this is just SOME, like 3 things that could happen if you diet
wait until i get to WLS (weight loss surgery)

the diets ive been on:
no carb, no sugar (yeah, i couldnt eat a lot of fruits or vegetables - couldnt have any after 6pm),
low calorie diet
um.. yeah..
you think its healthy for a 10 year old to be on these diets when she's still growing?
um, no

i got this info from the NOVA's website on PBS
haha =P
ill post later
love ya, bye <3

What Is It Called..

2008-09-24T14:46:00.003-05:00

hey, i just thought i would tell you
if you guys havent figured it out yet, this is a FA blog
that means Fat Acceptance
i am pretty young (you gotta say i am still a child..sorta)
and i probably do not understand the whole world out there because well
i havent had a chance to go out there
but um, Fat Acceptance isnt about being stuck on the couch doing nothing all day
because you know, you cant help being fat but like..
actually going out and doing fun things, and acting like a "normal" person would
eat whatever you want without being "oh god, why did i eat that?", and go swiming or go running
or do whatever and dont give a shit about what people say
because you're a human being too - you're no less than ANYONE
now,i also believe in the whole health at every or any size
as long as you're mentally healthy (not nagging yourself about what you eat and pick yourself apart everyday for "notbeing perfect) and physically - which does not - NOT! - mean thin
you can be over 250 lbs and still be healthy
you dont have to break a huge sweat, and go to the gym and lift weights
take a walk or go swimming - thats being healthy
i know right now you're prob like
"WHAT!? FATTY CAN BE HEALTHY TOO!?"
and yes, they can..

dont believe those magazines that says you're not because you wear a size 20 or something
and diets
woah, dont get me started on diets - they DONT work
ive been on tons of diets
mainly because my mom said they would be good for me
actually they're bad foryou
denying yourself food like
bread or fruit
people have eaten these for ages - and they're a MUST if you want to be healthy
dont go on those crash diets where you eat 700 calories a day
what are you eating? rocks?
you must be starved
thats not good for you
youll gain the weight back, because you'll gocrazy
go eat something that wasnt on the diet and ya..
prob gain more
even if you dont do that
your body will become so accustomed its like
omg, im not getting enough, i have to store more and more
because when am i going to get more calories to work!?
so you know what?

yup - all those calories get stored - causing you to gain the weight back
even if you havent dont ANYTHING different
right now some may be "is that why i havent lost?" and others are probably reading this and are like
"stupid fatty, you just dont know what you're talking about"
oh come on - ive been on diets since i was a little child
getting bigger and bigger
i was on a diet in like, the 3rd grade
you know how horrible that is?
my mom said when i was 2 years old, i stood in front of a mirror
saying i had to lose my tummy fat
2 YEARS OLD!!!
thats sad - luckily i am getting better
learning to love myself as i am
because this is me
love it or hate it - because i really dont care what you said

im rubber and you're glue
whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you
everyone loves to make fun of the "weak" ones
you know, the fat, the freckled, the short.. i can go on and on
but if one of the weak ones actually turn and say
"hey shut up - you must be missing something to waste your time on me"
the roles switch - they're the weak ones
thinking "oh shit - lets not mess with them again, i dont want to start a scene"
blah blah blah
just stick up for yourselves, ok?
and even if they arent talking about you, maybe its your friend
just, stick up for them if they wont do it or themselves
no one should be treated lower than another
sticking up is a way to just.. show you care about them

um.. sorry about the long post
no school today again, due to power outage
and ive had time to think
plus ive had a hard time these past couple of days so..
if anyone reads this
i would love if you would comment or something to cheer me up =(
i really need some cheering up right now

but thanks for reading
ill talk to you guys later
love ya
robyn <3

p.s. check out JunkFood Science if you want to know more about the real truth behind dieting and stuff. thanks!

Lets Go To.. Wait, Its Not There Anymore..

2008-09-22T14:20:00.002-05:00

hello
i really want to go shopping but, ya
i think i have school tomorrow, so yeah, cant go
but um, i went to the mall like, a month ago i think and there was this store that carrie plus sizes, i didnt get the name of the store, but
guess what?
it was closing.
i can understand why, theres nothing but small clothing shops in that mall but, the store carried small and plus sized clothes
you would think they would be making tons of money, they had nice stuff, pretty tops and dresses, and i believe they went to a 5X
but anyway
i went to Katy Mills saturday to see a movie, Lakeview Terrace
i went to Steve and Barry's - which carried cheap clothes (like $10 for a nice dress)
and i found out they were closing!
their Sarah Jessica Parker line went up to a 22, even though when i bought a dress, i had to get a 22, when im an 18
but still
cheap clothes and closing
doesnt that suck?

when i find somewhere nice, it always closes
does that happen to you?
i find somewhere that carries my size, but it always closes
but the stores that carry sizes 4 and down and are so hoochie its just.. gross
and nothing is covered
its opened for years and years
am i missing something?
am i the only one that notices this?
i dont know, maybe its just me

but i just wanted to rant
do you guys like the new layout?
i just decided to put thisup because it did have the sidebar with the archives
so you can read old posts
and because it sorta fits the name
but this is only temporary, until i find out how to make my own layout
so ya..

i just wanted to update for you guys
and ya
talk to you beauties later
bye
robyn <3

I Have A Question..

2008-09-21T10:48:00.004-05:00

hello everyone - i have a question on my mind, and i would love it if you all tried to answer in your own opinions
so no one say "thats so stupid" or anything - because it is just an opinion
so the question is:

What are women supposed to look like, or how should they look?

in my opinion - i think anyway they were born to be.
sometimes i just wish that... there was no photoshop, so maybe we could see each other how we really are, but i guess thats too much to ask
why is thin so attractive? may i ask?
i think its because its what we're told whats beautiful - models, pictures, mannequins - and not only are magazines bad, but stores too
all the pictures have thin girls with guys laughing or in some "sexy" pose
but god forbid someone with some tummy is up there in that picture having fun
because its not "beautiful"

well let me tell you something - im sexier than those women or girls on those pictures
anyone agree?
lol ok you may not, but trust me, i know people who think so too
thats why im trying to get some pictures taken, try and find a job modeling
im more of a singer - but my mom has more confidence in me modeling than singing - so whatever

ok can i suggest a song for you guys? If you love country, you'll love this song my Taylor Swift - she's so gorgeous and talented
the song's called Love Story and i could listen to it all day long, so you should check it out
"its a love story, baby just say yes"
ok i had my fun =P

if anyone has any good reccomendations for body positive videos
send them my way - please
and im going to *try* to post more often
im sorry ive been so busy
im taking regular history and its overbearring
so ill try
until the next post
love ya!

I'm Back, Atleast I'm Trying

2008-09-19T09:49:00.004-05:00

Hey everyone, i know i havent been posting and im so sorry
ive just been so stressed from school - i barely have free time or anything
but i still think about this blog and what to write about next
Sadly, i was hit my Hurricane Ike, and me and my family are living in the living room, due to the damage
so um, keep us in your prayers or thoughts or whatever you do!

but anyway, i would love for you guys to check out these videos, they are from 7 women in ProjectLifesize.
Heres the link to their youtube channel
Watch all of them, they're funny and interesting
and if you guys find anything else for me to post, totally tell me
email me at prettycurvygirl@hotmail.com to give me ideas or just to talk
or comment me if theres a comment button under the posts, im totally clueless with that haha

um, so ive been sending.. sorta.. angry emails to CosmoGirl, Seventeen, and JCPenny
JCPenny sent me an automated email, Seventeen sent me an email saying "thanks for your ideas!" and i've gotten nothing from CosmoGirl, who ive emailed TWICE
i guess we know who cares a little - Seventeen actually read what i wrote - but probably thought nothing of it
But if you see any bigger girls, clothes, or less of the counting calories section - that was my and other girls work who told them to stop the madness! =P
but recently i've read Allure September 2008 issue with Carrie Undewood on the cover and TeenVogue October 2008 with Zac Efron on the cover
i dont see why girls love him so - i dont see it
but anyway - Allure - its a pretty goo magazine, i didnt feel as if i was different, even though there were no women my size in it
except the women who lost 20lbs from adding a little exercise into their regime
there were no "lose weight quick!" ads or even columns - it was... great!
i may actually buy another issue - but the thing i do hate though is the airbrushing of Carie Underwood
she looks so fake and like a man in the pictures - its really horrible
especially since she's so gorgeous the way she is now
I love Carrie's music - best stuff ever.. after Taylor Swift haha
now TeenVogue.. its so much better than CosmoGirl and Seventeen
i guess because they're a different company and is owned by Allure, so i mean, its good stuff
nothing about counting calories or trying to lose weight
but there is a article about Orthorexics - people who eat only "healthy" an "safe" foods and count calories like mad
and im glad they speak out against it
yes i know, CosmoGirl was against eating disorders, as said in their October 2008 issue - and said any girl (and guys - but they didnt say that) could have an eating disorder, no matter what their size
but hm.. if you look ahead a few more pages, OH! stay away from these food in vending machines!!
Doritos = death! and 200 calories! *gasp*
i just threw that issue out, except for the section about Mila Kunis - a woman who tried hard to be where she is

Mila Kunis grew up in a poor family and begged her parents to let her act
she lied about her age to get on That 70s Show and at the beginning of the interview it says
"she orders the Breakfast Sampler - two eggs, two strips of bacon, two slices of ham, two sausage links, hash browns, and two buttermilk pancakes (which she swaps for a Belgian waffle slathered in strawberry topping and whipped cream0. Its a meal fit for a football player, not a 5'3" starlet."
WOAH! Excuse me Cosmogirl! Cant a starlet eat?
oh wait.. according to your standards, we should only eat a salad because you know, we cant eat all those calories!
we'll get fat!! OH NOES!!!!!

this is one of the reasons i emailed Cosmogirl - bullshit like that, saying a girl cant eat what she wants because its not "meant for her"
ugh!

i think you should email these magazines - tell them how much they should change and how they need to stop making people feel bad about what they eat and how they look.

and before i go
read Notes from the Fatosphere
it comes from fat acceptance blogs and is updates whenever someone writes something on their blog.
so check it out!
and ill update as soon as i can
thanks loves
ill think about you until then
have a good day!

The Lion and the Mouse

2008-08-03T12:05:00.002-05:00

Hello lovlies
how many of you have heard the story of the Lion and the Mouse?
its one of Aesop's fables
the lion lets a tiny mouse go - and in return, the mouse saves the lion from hunters
how crazy is that?
a mouse helping a lion - never would happen since the guy is so small
and right now you're prob thinking - robyn... what does this have to do with anything?
im saying size shouldnt - and doesnt - matter
anyone big or small can help someone, and can do amazing things
"but im a size 16 - i cant wear that" - tell me, why not?
because people will stop and laugh?
oh honey - if they have time to stop at all - they really have nothing better to do
if they did have a life and had things to do - they would be rushing out of that store or.. rushing to get home
wear a halter top, wear a short skirt - if you like how it looks on you - why should it matter if someone doesnt?
if YOU feel good about it - it doesnt matter how THEY feel about it
you come first - they come... never =P

alright - ive posted 2 videos before - and well, they were great right?
well i found something even better!
theres this woman, Joy Nash who is amazing and when i watched her vids i felt.. gorgeous
so im posting the first video here and posting the links to the other 2
theres 3 videos in the "Fat Rant" series so - i hope you all watch it and enjoy

Fat Rant 2
Fat Rant 3

and there you go girls
i hope you feel better and more confident now
and dont forget to email me ideas for my next post at prettycurvygirl@hotmail.com
till then

Size Zero Model? So Last Year!

2008-07-31T23:30:00.001-05:00

Magazines

2008-07-31T22:01:00.002-05:00

Hey gorgeous =D
how are you guys today?
im going to talk to you guys about magazines - and dont worry, you can still email me your ideas for the next post - this is just a quick update
how many of you girls read CosmoGirl, Seventeen, Teen Vougue or any other teenage girl magazines?
how many plus size models do you see in them every month?
1? yeah - i could one when im lucky to find that many
but do you ever wish there were more bigger models? more clothings for YOU?
yes, you
well you know what?
i emailed CosmoGirl today and told them how i felt and you know what?
it made me feel good, telling them how i felt about their magazine
no i didnt say anything mean, i said i loved their magazine but felt left out with their clothing
and thats what you girls (or maybe guys) should do too
youll feel so much better afterwards - knowing you're making a difference somehow..

now some girls are prob thinking
"well there are big clothes - Large and XL" - well you know what? some girls have a chest or an ass - so XLs are that big - especially if they run small
there are so many girls out there, all beautiful, who are bigger than an XL, and they need beautiful clothes to go with their beautiful bodies
im sorry, but.. bigger girls need pretty and flattering things to wear too
many thinner people will say that clothes are big enough and need to be downsized
thats not fair
should bigger girls change for clothes, NO!
we should not change
why should we change what we've been since we were little? why shouldnt clothing change for us?
Dont let inanimate objects take control of you - because you can cut them up and burn them and they wont scream =D
but im not telling you to burn anything down - im saying you take care of you
dont let clothing or anything else take control of you
but when it comes to clothing running big - it never runs big enough for bigger girls
notice t-shirts curve inward from the neck
excuse me t-shirt maker for girls - the cloth is too thin and out boobs will rip it
thank you =P
so as i was saying
if they saying theres tons of plus size clothing shops - point all of them out at the mall, it wont take long theres only 1 or 2
if they're saying clothes should be made smaller - tell them to grow some boobs and get an ass - because what guys want a girl with nothing to touch?
and thats all ill say for now

remember to contact me with ideas for the next post at:
prettycurvygirl@hotmail.com
ill take any ideas
and leave your name so i can credit you
thanks for your time

Robyn <3

2008-07-27T23:06:00.003-05:00

prettycurvygirl@hotmail.com
and if you leave your name - ill put in in the post
and make sure it has something to do with body image and/or weight
well.. you already knew that from my posts but
just to remind you
thanks for your time
and i hope to get tons of ideas

We Only Carry 3, 5s, and 7s

2008-07-23T21:25:00.003-05:00

Ever walked into a store or looked in a magazine and saw something amazingly cute, but then saw it wasnt in your size? Maybe because you're "too fat" to fit?
Dont go out and starve yourself for a top that may not even be "in style" when you finally are able to fit into it.
I said before, dont go out and change yourself unless you want it for yourself - not for one stupid little thing like clothes - or even a boy.
Many girls are embarrassed of saying they wear "plus sized" clothing, and i understand why - you're saying you're bigger than the "average" girl
the average woman is a size 12-14 - which is now stated as plus sized
girls - dont go out and try to be a size 4 if its unhealthy for you
you're perfect the way you are - promise

Now, as plus sized goes, why is it so expensive?
yes i know, extra fabric, but $60 for a dress? thats way too much
how come a girl - at size 6 - can get a dress equally or even much more prettier than the plus sized dress for $30?
does that make any sense?
no it doesnt!
why should a girl who has a ass or a chest be forced to shop somewhere where clothes are so ugly and ill-fitting, while a girl who has nothing gets to shop where ever and buy whatever she wants
hm?
every girl should be able to look and feel pretty as other girls her age
why should she be treated differently and only have 1 or 2 stores to go into?
Shopping with friends smaller than you is a nightmare
they get to go into every store in the mall, while you get to go into one
and you come out with nothing
is that fair? hell no it isnt
Stores should carry a wider variety of sizes - yes it can be a couple dollars more - but not like $20 more

In conclusion of this post - ill probably continue on more later
Plus size shops - more variety, colors, and cheaper prices
Smaller sized stores - give more variety of sizes
Girls - dont hurt yourselves trying to fit into something that may not be perfect for you

alright well, feel free to contact me
and until next time
stay beautiful =)

Plus Sized Model Doing The Thin Girl Thing =P

But I Want Him To Like Me

2008-07-18T18:33:00.002-05:00

Many girls want to be perfect to get a guy to like them
but if he doesnt like you already, why be fake to get a guy who doesnt appreciate the real you?
i think its stupid, changing yourself for a guy and pretending you're something you're not because you'll have to do things you may not really like to do and for a guy who may leave you in like.. a few weeks anyway
why do it?
no guy is worth it, no matter how perfect he is
trust me on this - i would not lie to you about this.
if someone told you to lose weight because they didnt like you the size you were
would you do it?
i would tell them to fuck off because no one should tell you what you should do with your body
and what if you did starve yourself or something to get "smaller"
that same person would probably find something else to laugh at you for
why? because either they feel horrible about themselves, and they have no lives

are you happy the way you are right now?
if you say no, ask yourself why
and why do you want to change?
if you say for another person
then stop, think of another reason why you want to change
if its for people, and not fully for yourself
then you dont need to change
if a person says something about you
laugh at it - because thats one thing a person will not expect - you to laugh at what they said
mainly because you should know its not true
because they do not know the real you
only you do
so be yourself and dont change for anyone <3

p.s. feel free to contact me if you're feeling low

ill always be here =)

I Really Hate My Weight...

2008-07-18T18:07:00.002-05:00

How many times have you said "i hate my weight" or "i wish i was smaller"?
Well try not to point out the bad things so often, because you're just making yourself feel bad.
Next time you look in the mirror, say something you like about yourself, even if its something small like "i love my eyes" or "i love my freckles" because that helps you feel so much better
Dont lie to yourself about "im so thin" if you dont feel that way, because that makes you feel worse - but dont dwell on it
if you're a little big, exercise or just shrug it off - dont think about it over and over again because youll get this idea stuck in your head and it may not even be true
save yourself tears and just love yourself, dont tell yourself how imperfect you are because no one is perfect - no matter how "perfect" they look on the outside
that model you this is beautiful may have just broken up with her boyfriend or she may have depression or suicide issues
actually everyone is perfect in their own imperfect way
look in the mirror and say "im perfect the way i am" and believe it, because people who say you arent are jealous
and right now you're probably wondering, "people always tell me in fat and make fun of me"
well you know what?
those people have no lives, and really are saying things about you to make themselves feel better
yes, you hear that from everyone, but i mean it
its sad to say i have done it once, and you know what? i feel bad about it now
and i would love to take it back - but that was in grade school - i was a little kid
and i dont remember who i said it to - but i did it
and if a person has to say "omg she's so ugly" or something, they really have nothing to talk about if they have to talk about a beautiful person like that
seriously - i would rather talk about a movie than how another person looks
its so rude
and if you're reading this right now and you're thinking "get off your ass and stop ranting and lose some weight"
well you know what?
GET A LIFE

What Is Beauty?

2008-07-15T12:38:00.000-05:00

If you ask a girl, what does it mean to be beautiful?
Many will say thin, perfect hair, straight teeth, and perfect skin.
Why is this perceived as beautiful?
Maybe because these images are burned into our heads with tv, magazines, and movies.
Hairspray, the original movie and the musical, shows that everyone is beautiful, and you can accomplish anything if you try. The main character, Tracy Turnblad, was not a thin girl, in fact she was big and beautiful. People picked on her but, he still tried to be a dancer - and you know what? she did.
I wish people will stop judging other by their weight. Just because a girl is big doesnt mean she'll eat you or anything. She may be really nice.
Everyone is beautiful in their own way - but everyone is beautiful.
Stop looking in the mirror and picking parts of you that you hate or telling yourself you need to diet or something because you dont because doing so doesnt mean you'll be happy.
Stop saying "i need to lose weight in my arms" and start asking why you want to lose that weight; so a guy will like you?
I know it seems super important, but i the guy cant see how pretty you are without the little centimeter youll lose, then he's not worth your time. Guys seem important when you're a teenager and ya, i know, i am one but.. think about college - a lot of more guys that are not all assholes.
So stop counting calories, stop saying you hate that one part of your body, and stop saying you're fat because fat is just a part of you, everyone has it, but the reality is - it isnt who you are.

Is Bigger Not Better?

2008-07-13T11:47:00.000-05:00

Going around searching sites or browsing forums
you may see occasional topics about some people wanting clothing in bigger sizes
and of course, many of the people commenting think it should not be done
why not?
well because the "bigger framed" girls or guys, or the girls with boobs or hips need to get off their "fat ass" and do something
some of you reading this may agree
Medications do not help with losing weight
such as birth control
its harder to lose weight while taking this
"well maybe if you didnt have sex" - stop right there
some people do not even take this for "sexual" reasons, but for menustral reasons
I know, nothing is going to make certain stores sell bigger sizes
or get magazines put in more plus size clothing or models
But magazines such as "Seventeen" or "CosmoGirl" say that every girl is beautiful
but they disregard plus size clothing
yes 1 or 2 tops may be a XXL, and some jeans go up to a 16 or 14, but that doesnt go for all teenage girls
So are they saying you're beautiful, but you just dont fit into this magazine
I wish everyone would stop looking at each other and saying "ew she's fat" or "ever heard of a diet?"
maybe there will be one day where every girl or guy will feel beautiful, no matter what their size is
but until then, we just need to try to stick up for outselves

Hello

2008-07-10T19:23:00.000-05:00

Hi and welcome to this blog.
Things will be getting started up soon.
You're probably wondering why this blog was made, well, its because im sick and tired of magazines and tv and all this crap saying everyone is beautiful - but when they show fashion and stuff like that - the clothes only go up to a 10.
So what are they trying to say? Yes you're beautiful, but i dont care what you wear?
Whatever they're trying to say, i think they should add more sizes in everything - even though theres not many stores for bigger girls.
Thank you for reading and we'll get this up soon
bye <3
