You might be a fat person if...My girlfriend and I were watching the roast episode of The Office (with the 'you might be Michael Scott' jokes) and got to thinking of some in the theme of the question title. So, you might be a fat person if: Can't see your feet when you look down...See More »
Does 'getting your 5 a day' count if it isn't fruit and veggies? 🤔 Just asking for... a friend 😅 Good morning! 😁
Taking advantage of a mistakeBuying some groceries today, a staff member waved me over to a checkout that was just opened and said 'here you go mama'. Unless I just misheard, I think I was mistaken for being pregnant and they did that to get me served faster... 🤔 Have you ever...See More »
10,000 calorie challengeSo I'm house-sitting for my step-brother this weekend and looking after his dog, and started planning how to entertain myself. I always thought these Youtube eating challenges looked fun and playing with some calorie calculators online it doesn't...See More »
'You know it's love when...'My girlfriend just came in to the room with her jeans undone and sat beside me and sighed, saying 'you can tell how much I love you by how fat I let you make me' 😆🥰🤭 I'm going to go and get her a cookie 😏😋
Any work-out / fitness people can help me out?I want/need to build up my leg muscles a little, squats are no good because I have knee troubles. Would building quads help strengthen my knee?

I'm so proud of my niece today!I used to be very close to my cousins who are a couple years younger than me (when I visited on vacation before we were mistaken for sisters!) In recent years they have become a little bitchy and rude to me and I know my weight is the reason. My...See More »
New outfit for Thanksgiving I was looking for a new outfit to wear for Thanksgiving and ended up on a maternity site. But is it just me, or does this stuff just look so cute and comfortable that I could actually wear one? The polka dots and leggings in the first and second...See More »

Driving to my Grandmother's houseI am not at work today so going to visit my grandmother and take her out somewhere. It is weird how going out on a weekday has such a different feel to going out on a weekend. It's like seeing behind the curtain somehow. Same as how being in your...See More »
Spider-man trailerI searched spider-man in case this had been mentioned already and it suggested the groups 'spiders and bugs' or 'I am attracted to men'. Neither appeal to me 😂 I really thought about not watching it but I figured it would happen by accident before...See More »
Fat-shaming or self-care?I just got asked to unfollow an account on Twitter because my body was triggering to someone... I try and be mindful of everyone but I'm not sure what to feel about that. I wouldn't have minded being muted and it would have had the same effect.
Mom bod misunderstandingsAt my job today, a colleague from another location saw a photo of me when I was 19-20 and asked if it was 'my daughter' 😅 She obviously saw enough of a likeness to me but I was a lot thinner then. But it did make me wonder how old must she think I...See More »

Do toe nails stop growing once you are an adult?Or slow down, at least? I remember having it done a lot more often as a child but I am sure I only do it once or twice a year now! Or maybe I just go longer without noticing/seeing my toes so it just gets overlooked. Ok, follow up question, how...See More »

Getting stuck on the shelf I'm sure all dieters have that 'one jeans/dress/outfit' that they use as a marker for weight loss. Well in the hallway to our utility room is where my father-in-law has fitted a new shelving unit for us. It would be a tight squeeze at the best of...See More »
