Losing the weight but not myself.
Perfect example of why I don’t really like Forever 21. They’re lazy about their plus size section. I didn’t even know they had swim wear. I believe they’re slowly expanding. But this…
LOOK AT ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT they place into making rows upon rows of straight sized bathing suits.
And what do they have in the plus size section? A FUCKING COVER UP!
All they have to offer me is something to COVER UP MY BODY (which I barely squeeze into their largest size, mind you. They have such a shitty expanse of sizes). All the straight sized bathing suits are revealing two pieces…and then you have the cover up. The lonesome cover up just sitting in their plus size section.
Dude. Their Plus-size section on their website (and sometimes even in select stores) fucking slays me.
also known as: fat girl in the mall. we’ve got maybe a lane bryant if we’re lucky, and that’s it.
I feel like Dots and Torrid are the only places I can go to find fashionable fat clothes. Lane Bryant is basically like an old lady selection and every other place does shit like this.
literally on f21’s site right now picking through the masses of ugly plus-size tops looking for just one cute one
this is accurate af
DUDE THIS! ugh I can’t find anything there! Fucking Forevershittyone lol

Healthy Mozzarella Sticks!
What you need
- 12 sticks of string cheese in your choice of cheese, go for the low sodium kind if you want to be extra healthy
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp of flour
- 5 tbsp of bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese
- A dollop of olive oil, or cooking spray
Preparation
- Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 24 slices, then freeze the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
- Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese
- To bread the cheese sticks: First dip the frozen cheese stick into the flower, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
- Once all of the 24 sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this will keep cleanup to a minimum, and keep the sticks from sticking!)
- Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. They need to be watched closely so they don’t melt completely!
these are SO good! my boyfriend made them for me the other day :)
Oh my gosh, I need to try these. I LOVE mozzarella sticks.
I don’t know why these are hailed as “healthy.” There’s nothing particularly healthy about them. They’re healthier than regular mozzarella sticks because they’re not soaked in frying oil, but they’re not exactly a light snack either. It’s a less oily cooking method you can use for any homemade version of any fried food.

Hard work does pay off!
Be Your Own Motivation!Hot damn. That’s awesome.
I love all the motivational posts here on Tumblr but we don’t see enough pictures of overweight people exercising. The reality is that we’re not all fit yet but that doesn’t mean that we’re not doing our best to reach our goal. I have so much respect for people who make efforts, no matter what their size or shape is, that I thought I would dedicate them a post.

^ Awesome progress. I saw a young guy like the size of of the before picture working on his abs the other day at the gym. And I was just like in my head, “hellz yeah you werk it! Don’t give up” and he had such a cute face. No doubt he’ll be a stunner when he gets down to a healthier weight :)
Confession: I drooled.
That is one sexy transformation.
