Man Hit Back at People Who Mocked Him for Being with 252lb Woman

How someone looks like and what they eat shouldn’t be anybody’s business. However, many times, people believe they have the right to judge others only because they consider themselves smarter and better looking. This type of behavior is inappropriate and rude, and affects person’s privacy.

Brittany Jacques is a young woman with curves, and she loves the way she looks. Sadly, not everybody feels the same about her appearance thus she’s a victim of fat-shaming.

In the past, she dated boyfriends who eventually dumped her because of her weight, which made her wonder whether she would ever find true love with someone who would love her the way she is.

Brittany even considered losing weight, but that wouldn’t make her love herself more. “I realized that if I did that, I wouldn’t love myself anymore. I would be changing myself for someone else’s perception of beauty,” she explained.  

Back in 2020, Brittany met someone special, a man named Matt. “When I met Britt, she was so confident in her own body, I loved that about her. She doesn’t want to change anything, and I would never ask her to.” he says of her.

However, although their love flourished and they even tied the knot and welcomed a baby together, they couldn’t easily get rid of all the mean comments they have been constantly getting from complete strangers.

“I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to find someone who really loved me for who I am but after meeting Matt I couldn’t be happier,” Brittany said.

“I do notice people staring when we walk down the street but most of the comments we have had, have been online,” Matt explained. “People comment on Instagram and suggest that I’m not big enough or man enough for her,” he added.

Sadly, fat-shaming is a form of bullying which has negative effect on those who receive hurtful comments.

The victims of bullying are affected to the extent that it leaves mark in their life years after the attacks take place. It undermines their self-confidence and they may starts seeing themselves as less worth than the rest of the peers.

Some of the consequences of bullying that the person affected experiences are the following: social isolation, sleeping problems, depression, anxiety, psychosomatic symptoms such as headaches and stomachaches, and in a worst case scenario, even suicide.

As published in a 2021 CNN article, fat-shaming is a global concern affecting a huge number of people.

Luckily, people are becoming more and more aware of its negative impacts. There are now many organizations that spread awareness of the importance of acceptance and loving yourself the way you are. One such organization is the Fat Acceptance Movement, so impactful that it has begun addressing these issues in work and healthcare settings.

The Atlas moth disguises itself as a snake to survive

By

The Atlas moth isn’t an average-looking moth. What makes this moth special isn’t just its wingspan, which reaches 9.4 inches, but its ability to disguise as one of the greatest predators out there, the snakes.

These moths are endemic to the forests of Asia and were first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.

Their wing pattern make them unique. The upper side of the wings are reddish brown with a patch of black, white, pink, and purple lines while the tips of both forewings have prominent extensions that resemble the head of a snake.

“It is impossible not to be fascinated by the atlas moth. This is due to its beauty, the detail on its wings, and its sheer size at every stage of its life cycle,” says Luke Brown, manager of the Museum’s butterfly house, and as much as we learn about this unique species the more we agree with this statement.

Even as a caterpillar, the atlas moth is quite impressive. The larvae feed constantly, storing up for the pupal and adult stages. At the same time, it produces silk similar to the product created by domesticated silkworms.

The atlas moth caterpillar feeds eats a lot if left. First, they eat their eggshell and then feed on their favorite leaves from citrus, guava, cinnamon, and Jamaican cherry trees.

A number of these moths live in captivity, such as butterfly conservatories, where they are kept at separate feeding areas. “We don’t let them roam free in the exhibition because they eat so much. This allows them to build up fat reserves for the adult to live off. If we didn’t monitor their eating, we would have no plants left in the butterfly house, so we keep them in their own feeding area while they are growing,” Brown said, as per the Natural History Museum.

By resembling a snake, the Atlas moth is widely feared by other animals and insects. It is a disguise which prevents them from being attacked and eaten. While predators realize the moth isn’t actually a snake, they are given the chance to simply fly away.

The reason for their distinctive pattern is the incredible nature of evolution and natural selection. Over the years, moths with snake-like patterns had a higher chance of survival, so they passed those genes to the next generations.

Not only predators, but humans as well can be easily fooled by these moths’ appearance.

Habitat loss and deforestation pose threat to these insects’ existence but there are plenty of conservation efforts which are essential to their survival and their unique adaptation.

What do you think of these moths? Aren’t they stunning?

Brittany Mahomes reveals terrifying ordeal after 8-month-old son rushed to ER

NFL star Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany spoke of the scary trip to the emergency room with their 8-month-old son Patrick ‘Bronze’ Mahomes III.

According to Brittany, the Kansas City Current co-owner, “Bronze’s” visit of the ER was a traumatizing way of learning that he’s highly allergic to peanuts.

In an update last week, Brittany shared with her followers on social media that those were the “scariest 30min of life.”

Her Instagram story featured a photo of baby “Bronze” drinking from a bottle, along with the text: “We took a very scary and frantic trip to the ER yesterday after finding out this guy is highly highly allergic to peanuts.”

Baby “Bronze,” who was born on November 28, 2022, is the second child of Brittany and the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. They also share a daughter together, Sterling Sky, who is two and a half years old.

In a follow up post, Brittany shared yet another adorable photo of her son showing him sleeping cuddled up against her with a finger in his mouth.

“Another tooth coming in so he needed some extra snuggles tonight,” the mom captioned the photo.

The couple have been together since their high-school days but only tied the knot last year in Hawaii.

“Bronze” isn’t the first Mahomes in the family who is allergic to peanuts. Speaking to Men’s Health in 2021, Patrick revealed that he’s allergic to most nuts as well as grass but he can play on the natural turf at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

According to the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), more than 33 million Americans live with a food allergy of some kind, while over six million are allergic to peanuts to varying degrees, and this includes one in 13 children.

Peanuts are a common cause of severe allergy attacks. The worst can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening emergency that requires treatment with epinephrine and a trip to the ER.

Common symptoms include itchy mouth, rash, difficulty breathing, swelling, wheezing, and dizziness, a weak pulse, pale or blueish skin and significant swelling of the lips or tongue.

We are glad sweet “Bronze” is safe and sound.

“We should be preparing our trip to Italy next week. Instead, I’m looking at these photos from our first family vacation almost exactly a year ago at 4 months old,” she wrote.

The heartbroken mom added that they were planning on visiting the place where she and her husband tied the knot and then explore Tuscany, a place they have never visited before.

Baby Asher was welcomed into the world on the 9th anniversary of the first ever meeting between his parents. When Christine told the world that her baby was born and announced his name, she explained that Asher meant ‘happy & blessed.’

“I miss these memories, I miss you, I wanted new memories with you. I wish you are here with us every second of every day. It hurts so much, this pain will never go away! I never knew such pain could even exist! Our lives were perfect, normal… until it wasn’t,” Christine continued in her lengthy post on August 16. 

She then admitted that she simply couldn’t believe it’s been a month since she last held her baby boy, who was her world, and that it was that long since she smelled him, and kissed him, heard him laughing, and admired his little walk.

Those are the memories she would cherish forever, but she’s heartbroken that she can never make new memories with her sweet Asher ever again.

I thought I had forever, we had so many plans for the future and it’s just gone,” she continued – admitting how ‘so hard, incredibly hard’ it is. “I pray and pray we find the strength to carry you with us.”

A months before Asher’s passing, the family celebrated Father’s Day, a day Christine hadn’t celebrated in 15 years until then.

“Since losing my father at 22 I haven’t celebrated Father’s Day & isn’t the easiest day but since having Asher and seeing Ryan become a father it has brought me the biggest joy in life. I just love seeing [his] face light up when he hears you come home. Thank you for being the best daddy to Asher,” she wrote.

I’m so heartbroken, with no idea how to live a life without you. I can’t even put into words how loved you are. I can’t stop seeing your big smile everywhere I go, I hear your laugh and babbles all day and it just breaks my heart you’re physically not here.”

Expecting a child is a dream come true for many couples. However, it is not just the parents-to-be who are overjoyed over the new bundle of joy, but their families as well.

A woman named Leann learned she was going to be a first-time-mom and she was eager to share the happy news with her father. She told him he was going to be a grandfather, and he was over the moon.

However, there was something she didn’t tell him, and it was that she was expecting two children, not one.

A coupe of months later, as her pregnancy advanced, Leann and her husband visited her father and handed him a photo of the latest ultrasound which showed two babies.

The man took the ultrasound, and the moment he realized his daughter would be having twins was one of the most emotional we’ve ever witnessed.

The video of the revelation is a true pleasure to watch. It shows just how much our parents care for us, and how happy they are because of our happiness.

King Charles’ heartbreaking 4-word response about Harry

By
Monica Pop
-

The Sussexes’ decision to step down from their royal duties and leave Britain behind resulted in a rocky relationship between them and the rest of the royals.

Things turned for the worse following Harry and Meghan’s all-tell interview with Oprah Winfrey during which they made several accusations. Among the rest, they claimed that Kate made Meghan cry on the day of her wedding, something the Duke of Sussex confirmed in his memoir Spare.

What followed was the Netflix documentary in which Harry and Meghan revealed more information about his family and made plenty of accusations. However, while the members of the Firm didn’t respond to Harry’s words, it has been reported that they are not happy about him speaking of them during interviews, especially king Charles, who was said to be angry with his younger son for calling Camilla ‘dangerous’ and accusing her of leaking stories to the press.

When William and Harry met Camilla for the first time, William reportedly described the meeting as “awkward and tense.”

“I think the relationship between them all is warm now but if I’m honest, it wasn’t then. I think they found it hard,” a palace source told royal biographer Penny Junor, author of Prince William: Born to be King. “To be fair to Camilla, she never tried to be mummy but she was the ‘other woman’ and she was there and taking daddy’s time.”

Other experts claimed that initially, Harry wasn’t fond of Camilla either.

And now, Camilla wasn’t spared in Spare either.

Harry revealed in his memoir that he and his brother had pleaded with their father not to marry Camilla.

“Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead. We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings,” Harry wrote in Spare. “We recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.”

He even wrote that he had asked himself if Camilla would be “just as cruel to him as all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” adding that William “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”

In her book The Palace Papers, royal author Tina Brown wrote that Harry “unnerved” Camilla.

“When the younger boy was eventually prevailed upon to be in the presence of Mrs Parker Bowles, he unnerved her with long silences and smouldering, resentful stares,” she quoted a courtier saying.

Moreover – when it was announced that Camilla was to become Queen Consort – Tina Brown claimed that Harry wouldn’t accept it.

“William has accepted Camilla in terms of what she means to his father. He’s been grown-up about it. ‘My father loves this woman, I can’t fight it, so I won’t,’” she added.

“Harry, on the other hand, can’t stand Camilla, he doesn’t want Camilla to be Queen, he’s very angry that it’s happening. He has not made his peace with it, and he probably never will.

“If you are led to believe, as a member of the family, that being on the front page, having positive headlines, positive stories written about you, is going to improve your reputation or increase the chances of you being accepted as monarch by the British public, then that’s what you’re gonna do.”

However, although Charles is angry at his son, he’s still his father, and everyone still believes that the two could made amends.

During the visit of the University of East London’s Stratford campus for its 125th anniversary, the King unveiled a plaque to celebrate the opening of its new hospital and care take area. That’s when a person from the crowd shouted, “Bring back Harry please, can you please bring him back please, Sir,” as reported by Express.

King Charles asked who the man was talking about, to what the man said, “Harry, your son.”

Charles’ response caused emotions. The monarch was reported to have said, “It would be nice.”

Harry and Charles tried making things right several times in the past, but it seemed the attempts were to no avail.

As Harry will be in attendance for this year’s Invictus Games in Germany next month, on September 17, the OK! magazine’s source claims peace talks will reportedly be held there.

“King Charles is due to return to London from Balmoral in the middle of September, which ties with the end of Harry’s Invictus Games trip to Dusseldorf,” the source told OK!

“The King has a rescheduled official visit to France on September 20 so has a few days to spare in London to meet with his son. Staff are trying to fine-tune the details as we speak,” the source adds.

We truly hope that Harry and his dad would do all in their power to reconcile and reconnect.

However, besides being a famous name in the world of film, and being married to a former Victoria Secret model, The Fighter star is also a devoted Catholic.

In fact, Wahlberg speaks of his faith often and says he starts every day with a prayer.

“I take two days a week off from the gym now,” he told MSN News. “I don’t take a day off from getting on my hands and my knees, from reading my prayer book and my daily devotionals.

“I pray for the patience,” Wahlberg added. “I want to be an example, with my work ethic, with my commitment to my faith, with my commitment to my family.

“I’ve been put in this position for a reason, it’s not to forget about where I came from. I have to utilize these talents and gifts that have been given to me to help others.”

Further, the actor said how he remains devoted to his religion despite the faith’s unpopularity in Hollywood.

On Ash Wednesday, Wahlberg appeared wearing ashes in the shape of a cross, symbolizing his participation in Lent.

High school coach who was fired for praying with players wins $1.7 million settlement

By
Monica Pop
-

Joseph Kennedy, a football coach for the Bremerton School District in Washington state, was terminated from his coaching position back in 2015 after he reportedly refused to stop giving speeches containing religious references and for praying with the players.

Initially, Kennedy prayed by himself, but then students and players started joining him. That’s when the school board received complaints that some athletes actually felt pressured to join in.

Kennedy pursued a legal action against the district. The legal battle lasted eight years, after which the Supreme Court eventually ruled Kennedy to be rehired for the upcoming season and to be paid a $1.7 million settlement from the Bremerton School District in Washington State.

“Mr. Kennedy will be an assistant football coach for Bremerton High School for the 2023 season,” the district said on its official website.

The U.S. Supreme Court previously secured Kennedy’s right to pray with students as protected by the First Amendment.

School board president Alyson Rotter said: “We look forward to moving past the distraction of this nearly eight-year legal battle so that our school community can focus on what matters most: providing our children the best education possible.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail following the verdict, Kennedy said: “It is just incredible to know that I did nothing wrong. Everything I did was fine.

“I had a commitment with God that I’d give him thanks after every football game, win or lose.”

He added: “And that’s the way I started out.”
