The blog is pending closure. I have not yet decided whether to continue or not. I made an announcement so that nobody would be surprised if and when it eventuated. 

I love this blog dearly and it almost breaks my heart to have to let it go, it is my baby. I did it alone - for this reason I will not be giving it to someone else so they can ruin it.

Posts are suspended for the meantime until I get my assignments for University sorted out and then I will decide to keep or close it.

Currently, I have a lot going on in my personal life and I love having FYBC to escape from that, when I need to take a break or feel good. However, over the last few weeks, FYBC has become a chore. 

I am not posting here because I want to anymore. It seems that no matter what I post or reblog, someone gets butthurt over something that is MILDLY related to it but is beyond my control and feels the need to take it out on me. I am not going to sit here and explain at great length that I view tags for my reblogs. I do not reblog my followers or blogs I follow. 

The vast majority of my followers are brillliant and suportive and loving. But there are a very small minority who are ruining it for everyone else. I started this blog to create a unified support system for people of all shapes, sizes, orientations and colours to come together and help support and boost their self esteem and promote self-acceptance - to normalise  your bodies and help you understand that there are many many many people out there who are just like you.

One of the messages that I always strived to promote was that - ultimately - it only matters what you think of yourself and that you shouldn’t base your self worth on what other people think or say. Some of you seem to have missed that communication and have taken it upon yourselves to dictate to me what I can and cannot post or reblog because of something that may or may not be present on someone elses blog.

This is my baby, I started this on my own, with no one’s help and I am one person - I am not a superhero, I have my body issues like everyone else and I rely on this blog to make me feel better when I have bad days. 

I will be very sad to see FYBC end when it does and I will deeply miss all of you lovely people. I don’t feel like I have enough fight left in me to argue with these people and point out why they are wrong and/or silly - I have simply deleted most of these asks and accidentally posted one last night instead of replying privately. 

It has been a fun ride and I hope you will all join me on my next endeavour. If and when I decide to make one. In the meantime you can contact me on my personal blog - http://ohh-elle.tumblr.com

Impossible. 

You would have to create a calorie deficit of 7000 calories to do so. More than likely that is water weight and you actually weigh what you are getting now.

Why the fuck did I eat?

Because if you don’t you’ll put on weight, because you need it to live.

Major tip if you want to lose weight - eat.
