What we’re about

Hello! Calling all fat positive people in the Tampa Bay area...

Big Body Babes is a space for fat people to build community and have fun together. We embrace the word "fat" and reject the stigma surrounding it, but if you haven’t reclaimed “fat” just yet, that’s okay! Our community is designed for people to connect, build lasting friendships, and to have a safe space to adventure together - think eating out, going to the beach, plus-size clothing swaps, walking trails and more. This group will be free of diet talk, intentional weight loss talk, body shaming, ableism, and healthism, but FULL of fat acceptance, body liberation, fat friendships and fat joy. We welcome fat people of all identities and backgrounds and aim to make sure everyone feels comfortable, welcome and safe.

Please note: This group welcomes people who are fat/plus-size/in larger bodies. The purpose of this group is not for dating.
