Pockets on dresses are necessity. The Out to Brunch Dress from @taralynnsboutique is giving me style and practicality and I like that! 💃🏾💜 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #extendedsizes #plussizefashion #ssbbwfashion #apyblog #plusblogger

The plus community is celebrating #anthropologie and their decision to go plus. While it's nice, as often is the case; this inclusion doesn't include extended sizes. Today in my stories I'm sharing the brands that are embracing extended sizes beyond a 4x. Take a look! 👗: @designer_elledove ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #extendedsizes #plussizefashion #ssbbwfashion #resources #plussize #plusblogger #apyblog

#tbt I'm just trying to show up to a body of water with this bawdy and bae (maybe the kids) and soak up some sun!! ** my first thought when I saw this pic was to compare it to my 2014 body. I stopped myself and just enjoyed the fact that I have the privilege of owning a bathing suit that doesn't look whack.** 📷: @royal_visionz ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #plusswimwear #yourconfidenceisshowing #torridfashion #apyblog #ssbbwfashion #extendedsizes #plussizemeplz #fatswimwear

-I gave birth 3 times even though I was told my weight stacked the odds against me. - I endured 8 miscarriages and each time it was implied my weight was a possible cause. Turns out I had thyroid disease. -------------------------------------------------- Knowledge of self is so important; doctors are human and sometimes they get it wrong. Do not be afraid to advocate for yourself. ---------------------------------------------------- 📷: @itsmelphotography 👗: @taralynnsboutique ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #plusblogger #fathealth #health #thyroiddisease #hypothyroidism #hashimotosdisease #chronicillness

Today #ontheblog I'm unpacking my new normal of having a disability and why I was so bothered by the stigma. Check it out! -------------------------------------------------------- "I am a normal person who has a limitation that I didn’t use to have before. If you know me personally, then it’s important that you know, I do not want your sympathy. I will take your empathy, your encouragement, your hugs, your love, your friendship; but do not feel sorry for me. I’ve worked so hard not to feel sorry for myself; don’t you dare waste a drop of pity on me. I am going to be just fine with my disability." ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #apyblog #blogger #plusblogger #disability #disabledfashion #healthchronicles
