Today’s TMI Tuesday post will be commenter submitted! Either you can ask me all manner of TMI questions and I’ll answer & post them or you can talk about your own TMI stuff in comments. Should be fun! I am open to whatever you’ve got to throw at me or share with the group. Thanks so much for reading. Recording a new and exciting podcast this evening. Should be up on Friday. Cannot wait! Take care of YOU!

If you know me or would simply rather not see me in the (near) all together (aka in my undies, yo!) then please do not scroll down any further. Please do come back tomorrow for your regularly…wait, fuck that! Come back when you want and I’ll update/post when I want and we’ll see if we actually synch up at all. Otherwise, my best to you and yours! <3 Tah!

I have been loving Tumblr.com and lately even more than usual as I haven’t been feeling quite myself. It helps to connect with people in the Fat Acceptance/Fat Pride movement in new and exciting ways. Yes, it’s mostly images, but damn! Some of those images are beyond powerful. Just wow! Awe inspiring stuff, my friends. The wonderful things I get to see! And honestly? When you have writer’s block or are depressed or bored or whatever, if you have some time on your hands, Tumblr is everything you want and more!

There are so many wonderful people on Tumblr, too! But hey, this isn’t some sort of advertisement for Tumblr. I don’t advertise anything, at all, ever…yet (hey ya never know)! But c’mon, Tumblr is the birthplace of BigBoyFashion (now over at chubstr.com, mega-rad!), among many other notables in these parts. I am particularly fond of BigBellyBabes as many fabulous fats have proudly and tentatively displayed their bulges, rolls, folds and the source of much pride, pleasure and joy! I am planning on posting my own belly pic there sometime soon, but for now let me share with you something I posted to another Tumblr blog:

✿ Chubby Bunnies ✿
This is for the lovers of all the chubby bunnies out there. A place where we can feel safe and proud to show off our curves. If you have any problems with occasional nudity or scantily clad women, then this is not the site for you. This is a judgment free zone.

And with that…here it is, my giant ass in fancy pants:

I am a 33 year old, married, fat, small business owner, blogger, activist with plenty o’ booty! I’m 5’4″ and around 300 lbs. I usually wear a size 26/28, depending on the retailer. In the above pic I am wearing a Body By Avenue combo from a few years ago. The front of the top is all lace (pic below if of what I wore with it that day). The bottoms were my first “boy short” style underwear. I rarely wear lingerie at all, but I woke up feeling fabulous and this is what came out of that. I encourage everyone to take photos of yourself in positions or perspectives you don’t often see your own body in. Clothed or not, it is an interesting learning experience and I highly recommend it! You don’t have to publish them after all. But hey, it’s fun to do that, too!

(I was feeling so awesome that day.)

Thanks,

I completely bailed on blogging yesterday and I now see that I shouldn’t have. Sure, I was busy, but I was also hiding. I should have used TMI Tuesday as yet another opportunity to talk about those things that people say are taboo. Boo to that! But I didn’t write anything yesterday because I wasn’t feeling like my usual awesome self. I felt out of control and both over and underwhelmed by all that life has to offer right now. I know this isn’t a unique thing all for me, I know we all suffer from malaise and the doldrums from time to time. I see now that I could and maybe should have turned to you and this blog for support because y’all have been there for me before. Thank you for that.

The thing is though, I just don’t have much to say. As shocking as that is, I can’t say that there is one or many things bothering me. I think that the overwhelmed bit has a lot to do with what’s going on in the world. How those things can make us look on our own lives and what we can do to help others while love and prepare for our own. The underwhelmed feeling comes from the daily grind and how I’m struggling and how exhausted that leaves me every day.

I know I’m not alone. I would rather do more positive posts, and I will, but for now? For today? Let’s dump all of our baggage and worries and stress and concerns in the comments and offer each other a great big fat virtual hug and support one another. So let it out and let’s move on, together!
Thanks,

Well, hello there!

I hope the past weekend didn’t do you in. I survived, in-tact even!

For today’s Tell Me Tuesday I want to talk about things we feel guilty for having/doing.

Today I will be participating in our second annual “Pajama/Video Game/Donut Day” which will include a movie this time around. I do feel guilty for having the luxury, but since I don’t get any sort of true vacation except this one week a year after the holiday, I’m not going to be too hard on myself.

What do you feel guilty about doing/having? Did you receive a holiday gift that makes you feel uncomfortable or question the relationship with the person who gave it to you? Did something happen over the weekend that you just have to tell someone or otherwise get off your chest?

Tell me about it!  =0)

Tell me what I can help you with today!
Tell me something about yourself!
Tell me your darkest secret!
Tell me who you have a crush on!
Tell me the secret to your success!
Tell me about the tough time you’re having!
Tell me about your stupid boss!
Tell me how you have always secretly admired someone!
Don’t keep it to yourself…

Tell Me!

<3
