I never realized how important boundaries were until I learned about them.  Like seriously, I was in my 30s before I understood what boundaries are, why they're needed and how to properly set them in your life.  When I did begin to set them I set them for people that were outside my immediate circle.  I'm calling this blog post Boundaries 2.0 but there was definitely more pieces to the puzzle that I didn't realize.







My boundaries are super important to me these days. I guess bc I’ve gone years without them. 

Looking at this list almost triggers me bc it reminds me of the times very close people who said they loved and cared about me continued to break my boundaries only because they thought they could. 

They thought it was not a big deal even though I expressed my displeasure. They were so comfortable with me not enforcing my boundaries or having conditions to breaking my boundaries that it was sorta like I didn’t have one in the first place. 

I always have to remember to set boundaries and reinforce them as well.

What will you do when someone oversteps the boundaries you put into place? 
What will you do if they continuously break them? 

These are questions I didn’t ask myself before and when I did I didn’t think about the people closest to me that I love and care about. I set boundaries for people outside my immediate circle but that was a mistake. 

The boundaries are really for the ones we love and care about so our relationships can remain healthy and in balance. 

Thank God those people who couldn’t respect my boundaries are out of my life and I can move forward 💯 #boundaries

Plus Size Influencer Regrets Body Positivity Movement

Phases, Freedom & the Evolution of Body Positivity For over a decade, Gabriella Lascano built a platform rooted in self-love. In 2010, long before brand deals and viral TikToks, Lascano began posting on YouTube. She has shared that from a young age, “I always knew I was bigger.” She dreamed of being a star but believed her size would disqualify her. Online, however, she found something different: a community of plus-size women who felt empowered seeing someone who looked like them living boldly. “That just made me feel like I had a bigger purpose in what I was creating,” she said in a recent opinion video. With more than 600,000 followers across platforms, Lascano became part of a digital wave that helped redefine beauty standards. She spoke about confidence, fashion, and taking up space without apology. For many women, the body positivity movement felt like paradise — no pressure to shrink, no demand to conform. But over time, her perspective shifted. Three years ago, Lascano post...

Ozempic Culture is Here, But What Happens to Body Positivity?

When Thin Became Trendy Again: Who Gets Left Behind? By Phatabulous Magazine Staff Ozempic Culture & the Quiet Rollback of Body Positivity For a brief, shimmering moment, it felt like the world was finally catching up. Plus-size women were visible. Fashion brands expanded their sizing. Campaigns spoke the language of “body neutrality,” “health at every size,” and “confidence without apology.” Fat bodies weren’t just tolerated—they were styled, centered, and celebrated. And then, almost overnight, thin became trendy again. Not because the science changed. Not because fat bodies suddenly became unhealthy. But because Ozempic culture arrived. Watch Commentary Video GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound have reshaped beauty standards at record speed. What began as a medical intervention for diabetes and obesity has quietly morphed into a cultural reset—one where shrinking is praised, staying the same is questioned, and opting out feels like rebellion.

Willpower or Wellness? Mo’Nique’s Warning on GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs

Willpower or Wellness? Mo’Nique’s Warning on GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs By Phatabulous Magazine When Mo’Nique speaks, she doesn’t whisper. She testifies. The Oscar-winning actress and comedian recently shared her concerns about the growing popularity of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, questioning whether we are sacrificing something deeper than pounds on the scale. “What is the long-term effects? What will it do to your body? Your mind? What will it do to us five years from now, 10 years from now?” she asked in a heartfelt video. “They’re taking away our willpower. They’re taking away our fight.” Her message wasn’t just about medication. It was about autonomy. About discipline. About self-trust. And for many in the plus-size community, her words landed heavy. GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. They mimic a hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite, helping people feel full faster and longer. In recent years, they’ve beco...
