Real talk, guys. I don’t really get the whole “plus” and “fat” thing sometimes and making fun of people for it. Well, I mean, it’s already dumb to make fun of people anyway? What I mean is… some of you have shared your pictures with me and I look at them and think, “How the hell is she/he considered fat at all?” Like when I think of “fat” I think of myself, honestly. I know I’m fat, I know this, but then I hear about others being made fun of for their weight and when I look at them they are 99.9 percent of the time smaller than me? 

Not to mention that sizes are all screwed up anyway. I wish I shared what I found someone saying about them, but she pretty much commented on how, in her closet, none of the sizes are the same. She can be a 12 one day according to one store, a 16 according to another store, ect. And she’s right! I always say I’m a 28, but sometimes when I go to Lane Bryant I can fit their 24. Sometimes 28 is too loose and sometimes it’s just right. Hell, there’s like two or three dresses my wifey has that I can wear and we are nowhere NEAR the same size, those are like a 20? But they fit me and they fit me well. But how can I possible fit in something that’s 8 sizes smaller than what I normally wear?

And don’t get me started on jeans. I swear I have pairs in the same size all throughout and sometimes it’s tight on my legs, other times it’s loose and I need a belt. What is this science?

And then what is even “plus” like where does it start? I have a guilty pleasure in Top Model and I remember watching seasons and girls were “borderline plus” or “plus” and I think, “What really? That’s plus? Well damn I must be double dip that chip plus or something…” Like half the time I would get it because compared to the other girls, yeah, but other times I was like, “Are you just saying that to be different and stand out because…" 

Not to mention that it feels like the clothing stores that even cater to me never show my size in their ads or magazines and things like that. You carry up to a 28, but none of the models are a 28, at all. Where’s the women who wear my ridiculous bra size? I mean yeah I guess their "plus” according to, you know, them wearing a 16 or something? But come on I know who shops at that store, because when I go looking for my large size in the clearance section (yes clearance shop ftw) it is always the first one gone. There are plenty of 14/16 shirts but 26/28? Forget it. 

So I guess… I mean… I think all of you are beautiful, but it legitimately confuses me when you say you get picked on because a) ugh bullying just stop and b) wait what they think you’re fat really? I mean I know what fat is, and there’s nothing wrong with that I’m not saying that there is, but just… you do get what I’m saying?
