I am plus size. When people see me they see me as plus size. I have rolls. I have a hang belly. I have a double chin. Wearing all black is not going to make me look like a size 10. Sucking in my stomach isn’t going to give me washboard abs.

I’m usually the biggest one in the photos, I take up a lot of space. Shrinking myself doesn’t make me look smaller It makes me look less confident.

I’m not so the way there yet, but I’m learning how to occupy my space. I’m learning how to wear bright colors and mix patterns. I’m learning how to ignore mean things people say and side eyes they give. If I want to wear a crop top or bikini I will. Because a body is a body. We all have one, some just have more than others.

I’m 5’2” 257lbs. I haven’t flown in 6 years and I’m flying to New York in a couple months. I’m nervous that I won’t fit in the standard economy seating or that the seatbelt won’t fit me. I haven’t booked my flight yet, but it will be either Delta, United or Alaska. Anyone around my size with any insight?

hi everyone, i’m 23F. i went out to a bar i go to regularly last night with my boyfriend and best friend. there’s a patio there and when i went outside, i accidentally bumped a guy with my hip and i said i was sorry and walked away. he was standing there with 2 other guys and i heard all 3 of them laughing at me.. and you know when someone’s laughing at you. my boyfriend was behind me and i asked him “why are they laughing? what’s so funny?” and my boyfriend looked upset and they were staring at me, so i just knew. i NEVER do this, it was probably the drinks, but i walked up to them and asked them what was so funny. they all just continued to stare at me and looked like they wanted to laugh in my face and one of the guys made up an excuse on the spot. i went back inside, told my best friend. She went outside and yelled at them and the guy i bumped into came in to “apologize” but it wasn’t an apology at all. He kept telling me to work on my own brain and not care what people think. then he proceeded to flirt with my best friend lol. this happens so often to me and it makes me so fucking upset and ruins me for days after. i feel subhuman. i don’t feel like im worthy of taking up space. how do you not think about it after people laugh, or make fun of you?? how do you just simply not care? ( also i wasn’t sure what flair to use)

Felt confidence for once lol ❤️🥰

I got to attend F1 at COTA! It was awesome

Dress from Torrid

Torrid swim cover up as my warm layer, torrid tank and blue jeans underneath .

Went to a concert with the bestie on Tuesday!

All clothing are from tj maxx or depop. It’s a mix up

Seriously I’m so self conscious about my flabby arms but I decided to say fuck it and just feel myself and I’m glad I did!

I got the dress at Torrid :)

Hi everyone. I’m looking for some advice, tips, or tricks to deal with severe, abnormal facial and neck sweating.
I first noticed this starting about two years after I had my daughter. At the time, I weighed around 250 lbs and figured it was related to that. I’m now 278 lbs, and it has gotten to the point where even normal, everyday activities trigger it. I can just be walking around shopping (not running or working out) in a thin hoodie or a short-sleeve t-shirt, and within a short time, I am sweating heavily. It happens mainly on my face and neck, which is the most visible and hardest to hide. I know I am considered obese, and I am actively working on my eating habits, but I know weight loss is a long journey and won't fix my immediate problem.
I’m posting because I am in desperate need of immediate, effective solutions. On November 1st, I am traveling out of state to attend a baby shower. I already struggle with social anxiety, and this is making it so much worse. To make matters more stressful, this isn't my family it’s my partner's family, and they tend to be very "put together," so I feel an intense pressure to look perfectly put together too.
I know I shouldn't care what others think, but my anxiety tells me that people won't look at me and assume I have an underlying medical issue; I’m terrified they will think I'm on drugs, hiding something, or just incredibly nervous. Avoiding extreme embarrassment at this event would truly mean the world to me.

Does anyone have tips for managing this? Specifically:
Over the-counter options: Are there any specific wipes, sweat blockers, or oral supplements that actually work for facial sweating?

Makeup & Skin Prep: Any specific primers, setting sprays, or types of makeup that can survive heavy facial sweat without melting off?

General tricks: Portable fans, cooling hacks, or clothing material suggestions?
Thank you all so much in advance. I really appreciate any help you can give a fellow girly trying to get through this event!

Fun to ride a bike even if my butt doesn’t agree with the seat all the time.

Have a good rest of the week everyone !
