What’s one thing you wish other people would understand about being plus sized?
Post Body

Mine would be that just because I’m bigger doesn’t mean I’m not actively trying to get where I want to be and I’m not lazy.

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THIS IS A COMPLIMENT????? ugh I can’t stand that 😭

[not loaded or deleted]

Yes 👏🏼 I get that a lot and when I say something about it it’s always “well it worked for me” or “it works for some people” so you just do it to everyone???

[not loaded or deleted]

Yes! And the clothes they do have usually aren’t my style either :/

[not loaded or deleted]

Yes yes yes! 🙌🏽 I want to upvote this more than once. I don’t know how many times I get the “just put the fork down” like??? Do you think I just hold a fork and a plate of food everywhere I go?

Someone wants to throw handssss. It’s me. I want to throw hands.

Oh my lord yes! I went to target to get some recently and it had my size so I was like “sweet!” I grab a pack since I felt like it was better money wise, and tell me why when I opened them up they looked like kids underwear???? WHAT IS THIS.

I don’t even get why they need to do that. I posted in another sub about feeling unmotivated and tired and some dude was like “I’d be tired too if I had to carry half my weight around all the time. You’re a super human. If you can even still function.” Like????? What.

[not loaded or deleted]

Ugh yesss. I totally understand. If they’re going to charge us more anyway, at least make it something we like AND is comfortable. I ordered a cute cow print skirt and I got the biggest size they had (3x) and it looks like a small. Like what. I even checked the tag and it says 3X

I can’t stand that. I cosplay a lot for conventions and they usually say it’s my size and I’m super excited and the only thing that usually fits is the jacket. One time the skirt fit around me but my butt was all out. 😭

https://shopfatmermaids.com That’s where I got it 🥰

Exactly! My sister does this and it drives me nuts. Then she’ll go around being like “am I faaaaat?” And when I say yes because I’m annoyed, she’ll get mad. Like ???? She also hates my shirt that says “IDGAF about your diet Susan”

Right??? What works for one person wont work for another 🤦‍♀️

Sometimes I just want to smack people for being rude. Thank you so so much 🥺💕

[not loaded or deleted]

Ah! Great minds think alike! I too have a collection of those 😇

[not loaded or deleted]

Too bad! They have to deal with us and our cuteness ✨

[not loaded or deleted]

Lmaooo. I wish I was there to see that. What a weirdo. Can they not afford their own snacks? Why do people think all plus sized people have some secret snack drawer? Even if we did, we don’t have to give you anything.

[not loaded or deleted]

Yesss👏🏼👏🏼 I’ve dated fit dudes and it was always wild when I would see some thin girl try to flirt with them. I like making things awkward though so I always said either “I’m his mom” or “I’m his sister” then makeout with them 😇

[not loaded or deleted]

I- What do you mean why do you want us to go around naked ???? 🤦‍♀️

[not loaded or deleted]

That’s like me going into H&M and crying because they don’t have bigger sizes. Like girl be for real. 🤦‍♀️

[not loaded or deleted]

I’d fight them. Walmart clothes look like something my grandma would wear. If they want their size and love Walmart so much, they can go there. 😤

[not loaded or deleted]

Ugh. That’s super gross of her. I’m glad you’re away from her now (I hope) I hope surgery goes really well! I would’ve said something to her because ugh. I don’t even know her and she makes me mad lol

[not loaded or deleted]

Oh hell no. I was agreeing with all of this because ugh. But that last one? What in the world? How dare she be so freaking rude? I’m sorry you had to deal with that !

[not loaded or deleted]

Ugh yes! I remember one year for my birthday I went out with family and they gave us a booth and sometimes there’s enough space and sometimes you just know you’re not going to fit. Well my dad loudly says “do you think my daughter can fit in there?! Look at her!” The poor waitress looked like she was going to cry and I wanted to cry. I definitely could have fit there but with everyone staring, I didn’t even attempt it was so awkward.

[not loaded or deleted]

Same! When I was first dating my fiancé, he took me to this place that had wooden chairs and I was SO scared it was going to break. It was also embarrassing having people look at me but who the heck puts wood chairs that look like they’re made out of really really thin bamboo? I also really hate booths :/

[not loaded or deleted]

Exactly! I’m sorry about that :/ I still have family listing all these things I could do and so I don’t visit them anymore. 🙃it’s just frustrating

[not loaded or deleted]

Ugh yes! I’ve had coworkers ask me when I was due and tried to touch my stomach. They stopped after I told the manager but maaaan.

[not loaded or deleted]

I actually got bullied for that a lot in high school. My friends never once said that I stink but I would cry a lot. Years later, one of my bullies tried talking to me and apologizing saying that I never stank she just thought it was funny. 🤦‍♀️
