Good for him. That's brave to expose yourself that way. I haven't checked but I hope people weren't complete doucheheads to him.

Fat chicks representing at Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend. I think they're the only dedicated fat troupe to perform at this event in, at least, 20 years. The first being Big Burlesque and the Original Fat Bottom Revue.

19 celebrities respond to body shaming.

No one's safe from harsh criticism but some of these folks responded with eloquence and grace.

'Proud Fat Woman' Lea DeLaria Bares It All In Empowering, Emotional Video

Hating the term "plus size", Melissa McCarthy is coming out with a line of clothing made for everyone from size 4 to 28.

That's right, clothes that are as cute and stylish at size 4, as they are at size 28. I wish her luck, we larger women could use some really pretty clothes that are just like what our smaller sisters can choose from.

Wtg Melissa!

11 celebrity moms shut down fat shamers.

I have to say that Pink's response is my favorite.

Rockinonahigh · 08-27-2015, 12:55 PM

Having being heavy for the last 30years I have just tried to keep it manageable with healthy eating then being as active as my body will allow. That isn't easy when I have injuries that have trashed my back so I just do what I can by having injections in my back to keep most of the pain at bay, a year ago my let knee got into the act, just one more wheel to grind but doable.
Recently my knee doctor and I had a somewhat heated discussion about my weight, my diabetes and in his mind my inactivity. Some where in all this he threw in religion ( not sure where that came from ) he made the mistake of lumping me in with all the other people who are my age (68) and not seeing me as someone who is active ,has a social life ( I play pool three nights a week , play basket ball and work out near daily ). The way I see it is I'm not training for the Olympics but he thinks I should be. I know many people who are near my age and a lot younger that don't do what I do and they don't get this crap about weight. My P.C. say's I'm doing just fine as far as she is conserned , my weight is stable at 260.My goal was to be from 337 to 200 and slowly it will happen , he harps that even 200 isn't enough all I know it's fine with me as I never wanted to be skinny, the leastrI have weighed was 115 when I was in pro rodeo then I never saw myself gaining this much.. life just is what it is. What I went trough to be 115 was a train wreck waiting to happen
(long story). I am what I am take it or leave it, if someone judges me for my weight it is there problem not mine. All I tell them is watch it cause life will catch you if you aren't careful, besides I like me with a little fluff.

Interesting article about a woman who put herself out there publicly and encouraged others to comment, the embedded video is worth a watch.

Her blog post about the experience is here.

I totally hear you. Have you heard of http://www.seatguru.com/findseatmap/findseatmap.php and http://seatexpert.com/? They're most helpful when you're picking a flight but they can be somewhat helpful when picking a seat. There are some articles online about flying while fat, which I found helpful.

Mostly, just have wonderful time. You'll soon forget feeling squished.

I'm not skinny, will never be skinny, don't even want to be skinny. But I like this dress because it has 3/4 length sleeves, has an empire bodice, with the dress flowing beautifully over the hips --- which I have hips that sway. I love the color too.

Actually, if I could have several dresses like this in various colors or pattern print, I'd be thrilled.

Anyway, I love this dress because I think it would look sexy on my body.
