Hey, other person on the internet! My specs look almost EXACTLY like yours--5'5, size 16. I’d been putting off dating until I was at a more “acceptable” weight. I finally decided it was bullshit, because my personality wasn’t going to get any thinner, and honestly, it was the best decision I’ve made lately. With one…

Man, i kinda suspected Jameela was a cool person after seeing her on celebrity bake off.
JUST KIDDING GUYS I’VE KNOWN IT SINCE I FIRST SAW HER ON THE GOOD PLACE WHICH I WATCH EVERY EPISODE OF RELIGIOUSLY AND ITS COMING BACK SOON OH MY GOD!
I’m right there with you. I’m trying to get out of that mentality (losing weight =/= more desirable) and actually start dating. I’ve been going to the gym, but any time I miss a day I think about the lack of progress that’s being made to reach “goals” but really I should be focusing on the days I do make an effort to…
I’m about your age and in the SAME boat: never let myself have a dating/romantic relationship with anyone because I was insecure about my body and, honestly, too devoted to my eating disorder (bulimia would be my boyfriend instead). Didn’t matter what I weighed or how I looked, really: I told myself it wasn’t good…
I’ve spent the better part of my life dealing with eating disorders and I relate to sooo much of Jameela Jamil’s experience. Wish I could have heard her message when I was a kid/teen — I’ve spent most of my life in treatment and therapy to untwist my thinking and I’m still working at it. One thing I really appreciate…
The other day I was talking to a friend about how I had been holding myself back from dating. She asked me why and then suggested that I was holding myself back because of my weight. I told her that was true. I said that I felt like I had been waiting for my life to start when I lost 100 pounds and would be more desira…
She’s also been vocal against ableism and in support of providing more accommodations for people! And she’s dating James Blake (not Blunt), who makes great music and is inherently cooler by virtue of dating her.
Jameela Jamil... I don’t want to say she could not get any more awesome, because I’m sure she’s going to (if nothing else, Season Three of ‘The Good Place’ premieres soon). But this is really wonderful stuff and I admire her so much.
Look, I was already in love with Jameela Jamil. If you keep telling me all the ways she is incredible that I didn’t already know about then I’ll have nothing left to surprise me when she finally comes to take me away from all this. Just leave us a little something for ourselves, hm?
Come back when you have curves?? Are they insane? Her body is amazingly curvy.
It’s incredibly frustrating that all these insightful and important things that Jameela said are now reduced to this dumbass story involving the Kardashians. Can we just be done with that family and talk about how awesome Jameela Jamil is on her own?
When Stevie Wonder clowns you in the middle of your sermon, you know you fucked up.
The gospel music brought back a lot of great childhood memories and almost made me want to go back for the music. But the eulogy definitely acted as a reminder as to why I became incredibly disillusioned with the black church and organized religion in general.
Williams wasn't the groper -- Ellis was. So two gentlemen of the cloth fucked up at the funeral.
Even more outrageous is the fact that Scarlett Johansson is playing Towne in his upcoming biopic “Lord of the String.”
Since I can’t actually see anything in the above photo, here is one of my own Brando-esque cat. And by “Brando-esque,” I mean “land whale.” (This pose does him no favors, so I *had* to capture it.)
