I Have Always Been Fat, Yet Not Fat Enough

Let me explain.

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
