Not ovulating yet? Lol. Is that why the nurses told me fifteen times that "breastfeeding is NOT birth control" before I checked out of the hospital with my new baby?

The "Undecided Voters" bit was perfect too. I think I've watched it like four times now.

Yes, of course, they're so intended to reach parents of non-outwardly-fat kids that the only kids in the ads are overweight. Please.

I LOVE Julianne Moore's dress, if it's any consolation. Very unique and the color is beautiful.

Honestly, I still don't think it looked great on her. I would love to see her in a halter or something with some non-weird sleeves. She's so ridiculously beautiful and that isn't used to any advantage on the red carpet. I also want to see her in more color.

The classic fall color gowns are making my mouth water. Gorgeous. I am so tired of fall fashions not being made in anything resembling autumn colors. I hope this heralds the return of pumpkin, butternut squash, cinnamon, dark red, rich greens, deep purples, etc. for many years to come.

That was before the advent of Burner accounts, no starred commenters to referee things, and absolutely zero alternate forms of troll control. : /

No, actually. When they're really little and screaming like that, they can't really even comprehend noises that are softer than their crying.

Truly. And it all falls apart in three washes.

It's gotten better, but it's still rather terrible, especially at Lane Bryant. I can rarely find two actual things that I would buy in the whole store (not counting their fab bras/underwear). When did any plus size woman ever ask for giant metallic motifs on t-shirts, bizarre detailing on jeans, whiskering on…

I just discovered Land's End has plus size stuff. Not sure about the fit yet, though I plan to buy some sweaters that are on sale. I mean, it's not super exciting stuff, but if it's anything like the rest of Land's End it's at least decent-quality materials/craftsmanship. I completely agree with you.

Weirdly enough, everyone is not you.

YES. Thank you. I'm 5' 5" with what I think are proportionate legs...why the FUCK does almost every pair of pants drag on the ground when I try them on?

Thanks. :) I'm pretty "cured" now (as much as one can be) and I have a good support system. Just wanted to point out that not everyone will be "normally" sized even in a perfectly healthy world.

If my son grows up to be sexually active before college and neglects to use a condom, I will powwow with every parent in the fucking school if that's what it takes to make him not act like an idiot.

One thing to consider is that having to dress in shitty, ugly clothes makes you feel worse about yourself, which does not in any way inspire healthy changes in one's life. Also, plus-sized women already suffer from not earning as much as thinner women - they need access to attractive clothing just like any other…

I dunno - don't people like this tend to treat their moms like shit? That's been my own personal experience, anyway.

I dunno, I'd think a C-section would get the job done. I'd think that part would be the least of the worried involved in this particular process.

Losing a uterus will not make you go into early menopause; the ovaries are what count. They produce the necessary hormones.

Your mom needs to mind her own fucking business. I feel sorry for your sister already. Geez.
