AN SSBBWs WORLD
Information and rants about living in the real world as an SSBBW
As SSBBWs, we live in a world built for smaller people. Each day we face challenges to fit in, or even to just fit. While education and information are powerful tools, our best resource is each other. Let us know your tips or rants about this subject at info@ssbbw-magazine.com.
SSBBW Profile
Each month we try to profile an SSBBW to help inspire those SSBBWs who haven't yet gotten that they are wonderful, caring, sexy, special people. We are always looking for more great and wonderful SSBBWs that feel they can be an inspiration to others to be profiled. Send us a mail if you are interested!! This month we are profiling a 45 year old from North Carolina. Click here to read her profile. |

"A life without love is like a year without summer." ~Swedish Proverb |

"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." ~Ada Louise Huxtable |
Letters to the Editor...
We've received a few letters to the editor lately and would like to post them here. If you have anything to say we'd love to hear from you too, so send us an email.
"As I sit here, I am almost ready to cry. My new boyfriend really likes sexy clothes and I have been online for 3 hours now without any results. Until your site. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LINKS. You may just have made another happy couple. [Peggy]"
"I think your website is wonderful I am not a bbw or bbb infact i'm not big at all. My reason for writing is that I think your website should focus more on getting your members or fellow bbw/bbb to lose weight and get healthier. Anyone who is a bbw or bbb is clearly overweight/obese and I am sinceraly worried about these women health. Most times being obese can lead to other problems besides health problems like depression and low self esteem and feelings of worthlessness. I applaud your website for making a step to have a place were women can come together and talk about issues they are facing and know that they are not alone. Just a little more inforcement on getting healthy!!!" [Amie]
Editor's Note: Thank you Amie for your letter and we are happy that others are finding our magazine. As you indicated our magazine is a place for large women to come together and feel accepted. We are not here to preach about weight loss as it's not for everyone. There are many SSBBWs who are perfectly happy with the way they are and they are to be applauded. We do offer health/fitness articles but it's not what our site is about. We can be happy, healthy and loved no matter our weight and that is what really counts.
