New Years was this week, and I wanted to share what my resolution was from last year (though I actually made the resolution in March rather than January lol ^^; )… But my resolution from last year was not to diet and lose weight and blah blah, but I decided that I was going to do something different. I decided that my resolution was to buy a bikini at the weight I am now, rather than try to lose weight so “i would look good” in a bikini, because obviously fat girls can’t wear them.
Well you know what? I showed them! I did buy that bikini, I actually bought two! I wore them to the pool, and when we went on vacation, and I ROCKED em!
And here is my proof to you all! (This is old stuff to my Deviant watchers, but enjoy nontheless).
ahh! Fear the obese fat girl!! (yes, I am considered obese.. zomg i’m so fat and short!!)
I’m a little more nervous posting these pictures here than on Deviantart, because this environment seems more open.
If any asshole leaves a negative comment, I will delete it without hesitation.
Bottom line? Stop trying to change your bodies to live life, just go live it. If you want to rock a bikini, don’t wait till you’re thin, rock it now!
You did rock that shit, yo! You look amazing. And I’m sure you discovered the same thing I did last year when I wore a bikini — not only does the world not end, but most people *don’t even notice*.
Kudos to you for being young and SMART about this stuff. I think it takes most people much longer to figure out that “beauty” does not amount to size 0.
Psst I happen to prefer the second suit.

I know you say that you’re hesitant to post these, because you’re sick of guys drooling and cawing “ooh, yer hot LOL.”
But… i still can’t think of anything to say besides…
Wow. Beautiful.
Have mercy on us. We’re so used to seeing tanned sticks with protruding ribs in bikinis, so to see a genuine female figure almost smacks of the forbidden.

You’re brave, you’re beautiful and you should hold your head high always!
I agree with Edgeling! The modern day media/marketing machine shows us nothing but THEIR interpretation of beauty!
Refreshing to see something REAL!

You are pretty
) I’m sorry we live in a world that will try to tell you otherwise. But, you’re a teenager and you are inspiring me – a twenty two year old that should know better that to try to fit into a smaller dress size in time for her brother’s graduation. thanks

I’m not gunna lie, tonight i had my mom do measurements on me to help keep track on my dieting progress, and now i feel like a fat cow. im 5`2 and two hundred pounds and after reading your blog i just want to say “Hell Yah!”. The weird thing is though you and i look alot alike, short, “curvy”, dark skin and freaken beautiful. If your known as the fat pretty girl than we are ALOT alike. I’d like to talk to you more so please email me! oh yah im seventeen so dont think im like a 40 year old virgin with no life!

Girl, you look amazing. I think most of us “old” fat chicks (I am 53) will tell you that if we would have accepted our bodies when we were your age, we would be a lot better off. Instead, we listened to the Twiggies of the world, and dieted ourselves up to our current sizes. I can’t believe how unhappy I was at a very curvy 14, and what I wouldn’t give to be that girl again, knowing what I know now! So you just keep on loving your beautiful self just as you are, and dont let the diet Natzi’s get you down!

Girl, you are just plain GORGEOUS!
Your hair is awesome, the bikini looks fantastic on you, and what’s best of all is that you don’t look like a starving child from a third world country! (They make me sad, and models who TRY to look like that make me every sadder- women are supposed to have curves, thankyouverymuch)
Have you ever considered modeling/getting some headshots done? You definitely know how to work it in front of the camera.

Lizzie, holy hell, lady, you rock it out! I can’t believe you’re just 17–sooooo wise beyond your years. You have a hell of a lot of we-wish-we-were-this-smart-at-your-age-rs backing you! I completely applaud you for being a smart, confident, GORGEOUS girl with the world at her feet.

Dearest Liz,
You may not think you feel confident about your body, but if you didn’t, you wouldn’t have posted these pictures of yourself on the internet. I’m glad you’re happy with who you are. I’m a guy, and I also know what it’s like to spend life hating your connection with the world. The only difference with me is that it’s not because of my body; it’s because I suffer from social anxiety. I’m what you call a “complete and total loser.” I’m sure both you and I have plenty of positive inner qualities that are just screaming to get out. It’s kind of like that one Hannah Montana song “Make some noise.”
By the way, I think you’re HOT!!! I would so do you! You see, I have one of the most bizarre attractions towards girls. I actually like FAT girls! I have a fetish for them! I now have your picture on my screen saver. How’s that for a compliment? Never forget, beauty comes in many different shapes and sizes! XOXOXOXOXOXO

You got the bikini’s at Wal-Mart????? I’m so jealous. My parents are kind of strict and have odd rules. One of them is that I can never go to wal-mart. I’m not even joking. I would love to get a bikini, the bathing suit I have now gives me a weird tan circle on my back.
I am not fat…I think “they” (bmi) call me: ‘at risk of becoming overweight’
What is that supposed to mean??? It’s like saying “well, you are fat and you will probably continue on to become overweigh, but we don’t want you to lose weight yet’ What? That’s how hilarious and silly the whole thing is!
Actually, last year at 103 lbs. and the height of 4′ 11” my mom was concerned that I was too fat and needed to lose weight. I don’t really appreciate this, but I don’t know what to do about it. I mean, I think dieting just makes you fatter anyway. Think about it. You say to yourself, oh I can have some cake and ice cream today, because tomorrow I’ll burn it all off when I go for a bike ride. Then tomorrow comes and it’s raining. Pretty much what happened to me. Now, I know that people don’t categorize me as “fat” I still end up doing it.
I am now at least 5 feet tall (i’m hoping I will be an inch or two taller when they measure me for my physical in a few weeks) I weigh 115 lbs. and have stretch marks on my legs (well, my thighs and around my knees to be more specific). Okay, no one probably needed to know that…oh well. If anyone’s interested I can try to figure out how to post a picture of myself, like my school picture or something. I don’t look fat, but I still kind of feel like it. I am almost accepting though, thanks to your blog!
p.s. okay, now I feel stupid worrying about this…*sigh*…I’m only 15….[this is to help prove that just because someone isn't overweight doesn't mean they are happy about the weigh they look]- I am an example of this.
Sorry about all this…..people probably think I’m a psycho now.

Wow.
I’ve recently been pondering the idea of recovering from my ED.
I’ve got a list of pros and cons and everything, and I happened to come accross your blog in amongst a list of ED ones!
GOD I’M HAPPY I DID!
I absoluteley destest every last inch of myself, and i hate that i do, too.
But You, You look friggingggg beautifulllllllll!, and your confidence is amazing.
I wish that I could too one day feel even half as good about myself as you do, yourself. Odd how much 2 girls the same age can differ, eh?
You’re a true inspiration.
“If the definition of beauty gets any smaller, nobody will fit.”
I don’t even want to fit anymore.
Thankyou for posting this,

you have no idea how much this inspired me;

Hello Liz,
and my boobs are bigger. Its almost summer and i was looking at yet another site of stupid, ugly one peice suit when I decided to google that term. Thats when I hit ur awesome blog!!!!
I just recently discovered ur blog and have to say : I LOVE IT!!! I was googling this ” fat girl bikini” cuz my bf has been pestering me to buy a bikini for the summer. I am 22 and have NEVER owned a bikini in my life. My body looks exactly the same as urs but my ass is kinda flatter
I cannot thank u enough for creating this amazing site. U r soooo full of confidence and definitely a role-model for us big and small girls alike. If every1 started to think like u, i swear to god, all the stupid diet scammers would go bankrupt!!
anyways, thats all i can write now. I will check on u later and may I say that u look BEAUTIFUL in that hot-ass bikini. I am defo. gonna rock one this summer. I will have u bf thank u also for giving me this self-confidence!!!
Take care

I bought my first bikini last summer (at the age of 20). I would NEVER have worn it at 18, and I’ve gained 30+ lbs since then! I’m glad to have found someone else who says “F’U society, I wear what I want!” You go girl!
