P here… and here is an another experiment at wearing something I would not have had the courage to a few years ago.
It was a pain ensuring all the strings went in the right loops. And then I spent much time in front of the mirror on several days - checking all angles, taking pictures and trying to feel my feelings around this display of skin.
Finally I said and walked out of the house with this outfit on…. The compliments and attention were worth it… what was even better was the confidence I felt “in my skin” 🥳 … rocks!
Dress from , brand is Berrylush curve and size 6XL. The name of the dress Plus Size Orange Floral fit and flare.

Ameya here.
This June, the most amazing thing happened! I was in New York for a random unplanned weekend and the most amazing Substantia Jones let me be an !!!! I was nervous AF but I knew I had to do it, and if there's one place in the world where nobody would bat an eyelid, it was Times Square.
I swear I felt like a GODDESS!!!!!! People were smiling and giving me thumbs ups, helping me up and off the ramp and asking for selfies. And here's the result of this incredible photographer's work. I cannot tell you how much this means.
Infuriatingly, Instagram banned the Adipositivity account, but Substantia was a darling enough to let me have a low res file to share here. She's running a really fun contest over on the Adipositivity page, so go check that out too! Link in stories!

P here and I’ve been thinking a lot about how society and cultural conditioning breaks our inherent wisdom as human beings.
For example, you know that what a person is saying feels painful and yet they’re supposedly being kind and “know better” because they’re family or some such and it’s their “job” to “think about your best interest.”
And so you look at the intent and stuff the pain down. But they’re the victims of the same patriarchy and their thinking about one’s best interest is really their coping mechanism to avoid being hurt. So really their being “kind” is projecting trauma and we don’t know any better than to accept it.
And so we grow up feeling so unsafe - as says here - seeing danger where there may not be any.
How do we reclaim our inner wisdom and guides? Have you? What do you think? nita seems to be someone who did and through .oomph is helping others as well. Listen to episode 4 from season 3 and there’s a new one dropping this weekend!

01/07/2022

P here … it’s amazing how society f***s us up. For us fatsos, we need strong, fortified defence mechanisms that we can fall back on in an instant. Because we’re always under attack and we never know where the next missile will launch from.
How exhausting, who wants to be that strong? I mean you’ve got to do it but what a humongous waste of energy and potential. That’s another reason why is essential. Mental health aside there’s huge talent and potential that’s going untapped when we’re spending time dealing with this s**t.
So proud of Joh (.nita) and so motivated by the conversation we’ve had with her where she’s tapped into her potential despite the ridiculous world we live in. And is helping so many others. Check out .oomph

Ok bai ..

P here … a cool top, contrast bra, a swirly skirt, red lipstick and happy hair. My checklist to feeling more fabulous than I usually do 😜
What’s your checklist? On episode 4, we spoke to .nita from .oomph on how the way we feel in our clothes impacts us. Have you heard it? What d’ya think?

P here and sometimes you have just got to be the change you want to see in the world.
We think Srujan , is someone like that and the conversation with him was such a joy.
Also you have to hear what says about trolls. A bite sized insight in this post 😜 (pun intended)

14/06/2022

P here and this is one of my favourite outfits. I picked the material up from Amritsar in 2015 - it’s what is called a Pakistani and I found a creative way out of the situation of there not being enough material for me!
and I decided we would put the material for the kameez on the back and in the sleeves. The plain material of the salwar in front with these pottli buttons down on one side and the result is the dupatta being the center of attention as it should be!
I pair it with palazzos or pants or these red flared pants as the mood dictates. I haven’t worn it in a while given no more going out to work and for me this is a formal work-meeting attire. But I put it on to show allofyoussss! What do you think?
Also what do you think of our conversation with … do tell!

13/06/2022

Ameya here!
In episode 3 we had a first on Fat. So? with a man as our guest!! And it was a brilliant conversation! Just look at what had to say. . Listen you the episode to hear more! Link in bio and stories.

07/06/2022

P here … doing snake dance for no reason whatsoever except that I love this flowy top made for me. And I love the look with these shorts from even more.
Also given my old video where I’m wiggling my butt to Shakira’s “hips don’t lie” .. (repost in story) … this top seems to have an effect on me 🐍
The point to my rambling is bleddy and and definitely listen to our episode with !

The other day I was heading out. Had my hair styled, makeup on, and an awesome dress. So I took a lift selfie, but the minute I saw it I could hear those voices: eesh look at the arm flab! BUT THE THEM I SAY BEGONE! Get the f**k out of my head, cos I'm gorgeous :D
That is something I learned from many people, though one important person was . And so I was thrilled that we got to talk to her for episode 2 of season 3. Have you heard it yet? Link in bio and stories!

02/06/2022

P here and here’s our fabulous second guest , Tanvi, sharing with us her opinion on how normal feels in a supportive relationship.
A rare byte, as Tanvi mentions, but one that is an important issue for all of us fat folx who find ourselves at the receiving end of society’s unwillingness to see us as deserving of love.
Or is that everyone?! Because society just “is a dick” as likes to say it.
Well you’ve got to listen to the episode for other such gems from Season 3, episode 2 - here’s the link - https://bit.ly/fatso_s03e01

31/05/2022

P here and just look at this gorgeous dress from .oomph , also look it HAS POCKETS!!!
Thank you Joh, you have no idea how much joy I feel in wearing this. I do pair it up with shorts because ummm… big butt makes it ride up in the back but it all looks quite … 🔥 (if I say so myself).
You know what else is hot right now. Episode 2 of Season 3 with the frabjuous - Tanvi Geetha Ravishankar…

30/05/2022

Ameya here!
It took this podcast to bring it home to me, but ever since then I have been utterly blown away by just how much fat phobia affects relationships, and how we let other people treat us. In this episode we talked to about her relationship with her partner and our own negotiations with who we let into our lives and the power we give them.

26/05/2022

P here and I have to say this statement really really really hit home and has stayed with me since the discussion.
I would highly recommend listening to the episode for the context and the power of that discussion with Substantia (). https://bit.ly/fatso_s03e01
What it’s done for me is look at all the areas of life where I’m still being an apologist! With friends, at work, in relationships, even with myself sometimes. And slowly but steadily breaking that habit.
That’s what I love about this season - people like Substantia have done the work, they’ve gone deep and they have changed lives, no I should rephrase that to say “saved lives” across the planet. They are part of the solution we’re so craving for.
We’re speaking to another such powerhouse this Saturday! Remember to tune in at 5pm!

20/05/2022

Ameya here!
This is a photo of my lunch. It's brown rice and pumpkin sambar. It's also part of my trying to eat better and fix some of the crazy inflammation I've got going on. It's taken me a really long time to stop fetishizing food as good or bad or healthy or not, and even longer to untangle food from my emotional states. So I wanted to post this as proof that I did make it out, I did heal my relationship with food, even if it gets hurt and I have to do it again, it's possible, and I did it.

19/05/2022

P here and it’s a rare moment when I have nothing more to say than … listen to what Substantia ( ) has to say!
Oh and there’s so much more in the episode y’all!
https://bit.ly/fatso_s03e01
Are you liking it? We’re living to know!

17/05/2022

P here and “pehchaan kaun” (do you recognise this person?)… lol (Bollywood reference)
I honestly don’t know why this photo thrills me so but there’s a certain “laissez faire” in this that I could not even have aspired to when younger.
But then we’ve come a long long way and I since we started the podcast and this somehow, to me, is proof of that.
Also ever since speaking with I’m like “why wear clothes at all in pikchas?” … 😈

Ameya here!
This weekend a cousin got married and I not just went but had a fabulous time, because I took my walking stick with me, I dressed for my comfort, and I asked for help. There's no shame in in being fat; there's no shame in being injured; that's especially no shame in being fat and injured.

22/04/2022

Ameya here!
Today this wonderful day, Earth day but also the anniversary of the day that my beloved was born, today I went back to the very beginning and discovered that this photoshoot for season one is the FIRST SELFIE I HAVE OF US!!!
Anyway, the point is, even though it's super late in the day, I want to say happy happy HAPPIEST birthday to this incredible soul. May your light shine far and wide Pea, and may it touch many lives as it has touched mine.

19/04/2022

P here… and just as my home is coming together so did this outfit this morning. I had these trousers tailored a million years ago but have never found anything that makes me feel like worked to wear on top.
And then last year I bought this asymmetrical a-line olive green plus size top in 6xl and voila - it’s a match. Personally would have loved if the material for the blouse was cotton or linen or some such, but that’s probably what I will get made coz I love the look.

29/03/2022

P here and here’s me modelling some more of my stuff. Revolution hi rise knitted joggers in maroon and size 44. The top is actually a dress in 3XL - cotinfab navy blue halter neck.

27/03/2022

Ameya here!
I bought this dress to wear to my friend's wedding in Mexico, and then I couldn't go. It was a daring choice and one I wasn't sure I would end up wearing in India, especially because well sometimes that kind of skirt makes me feel like I look like a sack. But, you know what? I love the dress, and I wore to a farewell dinner with beloved friends at my beloved and guess what? I was KWEEEN!

Ameya here! I'm back in the motherland! Reunited with the Pallavi and the cats! But it was a strangely painful journey, because my knees were (and are) a mess, so I had to take special assistance from Qatar Airways. Watch the video to find out what happened! . . . #fatsopodcast #endfatpobia #endfatstigma #effyourbeautystandards #healthateverysize #allbodiesaregoodbodies #losehatenotweight #fattitude #fatliberation

P here and am excited about finally finding a structure stable enough to make standing while working comfortable. There are many reasons I wanted this, and losing weight was NOT one of them. And yet it’s the first thing I wondered when I started work this morning. . I’m not against weight loss, it’s a personal choice. With all the research I’ve done though, and my experience in my body, I know that acting with the intent of weight loss would be really harmful. Why? . ❌ 95% of weight loss regimes fail over a 5y period ❌ Diets due to their restrictive nature are another name for eating disorders ❌ Pushing your body beyond its endurance level in the name of exercise is harmful ❌ Losing weight messes with one’s set weight point and results in the body reversing weight loss and adding more weight. ❌ All of this takes one down a vicious weight cycling spiral. . There’s no causal relationship between weight and lifestyle disease. On the other hand weight cycling, eating disorders, unhealthy habits do have a direct impact on health. . I’ve spent years working on my relationship with my body, my internalised fat phobia, food, movement et al to get to this point where I am comfortable. And yet the conditioning is so deep that the thought still hit me. . Which is why #endfatphobia #fatliberation #fatsopodcast #losehatenotweight #healthateverysize #haes

Ameya here! When you think about it, society makes us do some really terrible thing to ourselves in the name of "losing weight," no?

Ameya here! All this personal growth is f**king painful let me tell you.
