I Have Always Been Fat, Yet Not Fat Enough

Let me explain.

I Have Always Been Fat, Yet Not Fat Enough

Let me explain because it sounds pretty confusing but it's not.

Ever since I was young I've always had a weight problem. I've always been made fun of for my weight. It used to get to me but now I'm fine.


I can remember being like 10 or something and going to the mall with my family to get new clothes. I was always so excited because I went to a private school so when I got to buy new 'street clothes' it was the way I could express myself.

But I didn't know style if it slapped me in the face. I went to the girls' section and of course, with my lil belly, I had to get the XL clothes to try on. It was never so simple as just finding something I liked and getting it.

I always had to try it on because some things fit better than others. So I had my girls 14/16 camo monkey shirt which came with the cutest necklace. I tried it on and it stuck to every roll I had. But this was an XL, how could it not fit me?? I had the same one in a different color at home.

This has always been an issue for me, but now it's more frustrating because every store and brand within the store for different. I can wear a medium in Pink leggings but an XL in Nike leggings.


One of my favorite places is Target. They have the cutest clothes and I'm obsessed

I love going to Forever 21 and Agaci because they have cute rompers and bodysuits. I try on an XL and it's too small. So I go to the plus size (they have the cutest stuff there) I get a 0x or maybe a 1x. They're way too big.

Wait what? But the XL was too tight.. how does the plus size stuff not fit me?? This isn't possible. I thought I couldn't fit into the regular sizes, so I found some cute stuff in the plus size section and I was super excited. But they're all way too big on me?
This is when I realized I'm in between sizes. But not only sizes, sections.

The point of this is: just stick to target rompers and oversized t-shirts. Get a 2XL shirt.

Nobody can tell if you're fat, skinny(well to a certain extent), pregnant or anything, but they do know that you are comfy af.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
