I Have Always Been Fat, Yet Not Fat Enough

Let me explain because it sounds pretty confusing but it's not.

Ever since I was young I've always had a weight problem. I've always been made fun of for my weight. It used to get to me but now I'm fine.


I can remember being like 10 or something and going to the mall with my family to get new clothes. I was always so excited because I went to a private school so when I got to buy new 'street clothes' it was the way I could express myself.

But I didn't know style if it slapped me in the face. I went to the girls' section and of course, with my lil belly, I had to get the XL clothes to try on. It was never so simple as just finding something I liked and getting it.

I always had to try it on because some things fit better than others. So I had my girls 14/16 camo monkey shirt which came with the cutest necklace. I tried it on and it stuck to every roll I had. But this was an XL, how could it not fit me?? I had the same one in a different color at home.

This has always been an issue for me, but now it's more frustrating because every store and brand within the store for different. I can wear a medium in Pink leggings but an XL in Nike leggings.


One of my favorite places is Target. They have the cutest clothes and I'm obsessed

I love going to Forever 21 and Agaci because they have cute rompers and bodysuits. I try on an XL and it's too small. So I go to the plus size (they have the cutest stuff there) I get a 0x or maybe a 1x. They're way too big.

Wait what? But the XL was too tight.. how does the plus size stuff not fit me?? This isn't possible. I thought I couldn't fit into the regular sizes, so I found some cute stuff in the plus size section and I was super excited. But they're all way too big on me?
This is when I realized I'm in between sizes. But not only sizes, sections.

The point of this is: just stick to target rompers and oversized t-shirts. Get a 2XL shirt.

Nobody can tell if you're fat, skinny(well to a certain extent), pregnant or anything, but they do know that you are comfy af.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
