Tall, plus size ladies?

Are there any tall women here that were born naturally female? It's... interesting to be tall and plus size. I'm just curious what our demographic is on this thread.

This has never happened to me.

It's so heartbreaking to read so many dating horror stories, including my own, so I thought I would share some rare positivity.

I'm 29 years old and I've never been in a relationship and have almost nonexistent experience. I didn't think I would ever find someone, well, someone normal, that would genuinely be interested in me.

Last week, I met a guy at an event that I attended and he asked for my number. Meeting a guy in real life is already pretty unbelievable for me, but it's what I've always wanted to happen so they know what I look like.

He asked me out and we went on our first date on Friday. This was the first real date I'd ever been on. It went really well so we went out again Saturday night and I spent the night at his place. It wasn't intended; I just fell asleep. We didn't have sex but came very close. Things are progressing much faster than either of us expected or are used to.

The whole thing feels like a dream. Someone I met in real life and is age appropriate and is nice and smart and respectful and adorable is actually interested in me. And he made me feel so beautiful. He complimented me and my body. He showed me affection in public. He held my hand and cuddled with me in full view of other people. It's amazing and so sad how these small little things make such a difference. Things that most people probably don't even think about.

Even though we haven't known each other very long and I don't know what will happen, I feel very uncharacteristically optimistic. Not about us working out, but about him actually being honest and real. I don't have that terrible gut feeling that I've had with other guys I've talked to. I actually think it's possible for someone to genuinely like me, and that is a feeling I've been wanting for so long. Even if it doesn't work out, I will still have that and that is all I need.

Unable to understand my body size?

Hello, does anyone else have the problem where they can't really tell how big or small they are?

I am aware I am fat, but I can't tell exactly how fat I am? I see the numbers on the scale and I know what my doctor tells me but sometimes I feel smaller or bigger than I might actually be?

I feel like the world is so weird when it comes to bodies. This isn't meant to be excessively negative or anything it's just frustrating because it makes understanding myself harder.

Good places to sell plus size clothes?

Hi all,

Has anyone had success with selling brand new plus size clothing anywhere?

I have a ton of clothes from Shein, Target, Amazon - many of which are still in their packaging - that I never got around to returning. I just want them to be loved by people who will wear them!

I'm worried if I take them to a regular thrift shop, they'll get tossed.

Does anyone have a site they recommend? Or also, would anyone be interested in seeing some stuff? I have a lot of cute NYE dresses and tons of normal casual clothes that I just want gone haha

Lmk! Thanks

Alone forever??

As a big girl, I’m afraid I’ll never find anyone to love me or want to be with me. While I want to change my habits and lose weight/become healthier, who I am will not change. Why does it matter so much what a person looks like?

Camel toe from hell

I’m 225 and I have a BIG problem. My actual FUPA (Fat Upper P**** Area- not belly which isn’t what a FUPA is)is quite large. To say my girl is fat is maybe an understatement. I want to stop her from eating my pants! I’ve looked online for covers and found some, but I’m pretty sure she’d eat those, too. What do I do?!

Winter clothes help!!!

I hope this is okay if not I will take down :)

I am a plus size woman who has ibs. I am struggling so much finding pants for the cold weather that don’t hurt to wear. I already have a hard time finding pants because I have an apron belly and when my IBS flares I bloat more so the clothes I do have just don’t cut it.

Can I please have some winter clothes recommendations that better fit larger bellies? I can’t wear jeans they just hurt too much.

Thank you!

Outfit for an 80s theme party next week!

I grew up in the 70s and 80s and remember wearing something similar.

Leggings by Old Navy. Shoes by New Balance. Other components are cheap Chinese items from Amazon.

I do wish the shirt was bigger at the bottom. This was sized up 3 sizes even! And the second shirt I tried.
