Unapologetic Fatty

Hey lovely fatties! I just wanted to show off my AMAZING prom get up! My senior prom was May 11th, 2013 and I have to admit, I was super nervous at first. I’m not one for big poofy dresses or prom style anything, but I’m so glad I went. I’ve been down on my luck lately and I’ve been feeling the effects of my depression. For those who don’t know I’ve been in recovery for Binge Eating Disorder and self harm since December. I was beginning to fall off track and my prom night was exactly what I needed to clear my mind. Not only did I look and feel babely, but when I got to prom I got HUNDREDS of compliments along the lines of “you look just like the little mermaid!” and “You’re one of the prettiest girls here!” And although I’m not one who likes to be noticed and be the center of attention, the fact that people KNEW I felt fabulous and how they expressed to me that I looked lovely and at ease with myself gave me a huge booster and it was just what I needed to continue my journey of self love. I’ve come a long way in my 4 years of high school and my graduation ceremony is Sunday May 19th and I think finding the self acceptance community has been the most positive thing to happen to my life and I’m glad I found it when I did, so thanks to this blog and many others I’m becomming the fat babe I know I am! U.S size 14/16 and lovely!! 

majestic even with spots 

i’m beautiful, whut whut

I recently made a video on societys view on weight and the whole “fat does not equal ugly” concept that I think your followers would enjoy.

Can I just say how GREAT it is to see other big girls with tattoos/piercings/weird hair? Can I? It’s great to see other big girls with tattoos, piercings, and weird hair. I get self-conscious about my ink and lip ring sometimes because I’m not the twiggy type of alternative girl, but seeing all of you is really inspiring. Keep rocking it, girls!

Feeling oh so pretty!

Hi.  My name (at least virtually) is Elisabeth.  I’m 5’5” and 250 pounds.  I also have an A-Cup bra-size, which has always been strange for me, since it seems that the main thing that is sexualized about us fat girls is our boobs, which I don’t seem to have an abundance of. 

The dress I’m wearing is from the ASOS maternity line.  It’s the first time I’ve ever tried a maternity dress.  I spent most of my young life loving a very femme practically fairy-tale princess-like fashion ascetic.  Owning an actual dress was my dream, but no clothing shop carried a dress that was made in such a way as to properly fit my tiny chest and my big big big everywhere else.  I’ve been living in China for the last few years, and getting stuff custom made by the tailors here is super easy, so at this point in my life I own more than enough dresses to make up for lost time.

However, finding a retail dress that fit me so much as the one pictured does was a pretty big deal for me.  When it comes right down to it, I don’t care that much that it’s maternity, and I wish the idea had crossed my mind sooner.  I could have been wearing dresses all through out college, instead of jeans that I hated. 

So, anyway, the main point is that I’ll gladly wear maternity clothes and be proud of it.  The label doesn’t mean a thing.  Looking at something and knowing that it fits and makes me happy with my own appearance means everything.
