Planning a Family Garden Party

Planning a Family Garden Party

Boob or Bust & Simple Be

Boob or Bust & Simple Be

I have always had big boobs. Always. From about the age of ten. It's been a huge burden, something I've been bullied about, teased and sexualised because of from a young age. My bust size has made me self conscious, it's affected my ability and confidence to breast feed and it's made bra shopping an absolute nightmare. I have never liked my boobs. Clothes shopping has always been hard and I've only been measured three times, once during pregnancy, and I think only once was it ... Read more

Being Zero Waste is Hard if you’re Poor

Thorness Bay had everything you need really but it's not a park I want to return ... Read more

The CRUK Advertisement Campaign IS dangerous

As a fat person I am discriminated against. I feel like I have less discrimination than others because I'm not as marginalised as some, I'm a mum that's had two c-sections and I've constantly said how ashamed I am of my body. The truth is if I go to the doctors for ANY reason I will be told I am fat and that will fix my problems. Over the years GP's have dismissed my health, my anxiety, my post-natal depression, my wellbeing, my contraception choices because I am fat. They have refused ... Read more
