I wonder if she's not talking about food, but rather about Cinnamoroll and typo'd it...

Because, you know, typos with fat fingers. Because fat.

That’s what I assumed as well, despite that Cinnamoroll is a Sanrio character (so odd for little boys). All the current comments are about cinnamon rolls and cinnamon rolls at parties, though. Will have to see if Tess clarifies or not. (Also while CinnaRoll the company is apparently in the US now, I also think that "cinnaroll" is some zoomer slang?)

I know it’s his birthday too, but her expressing how awesome a mom she is for her son deciding to have a party themed around (super delicious and super fattening) pastries gnaws at me when overeating them for decades is how she ended up in her current situation.

Given the presence of Kuromi in the "emotional intelligence starter pack (Thanks @Trombonista) I'm guessing the Sanrio character.

Cinnamoroll is pretty popular at the moment, and you could get cheap decorations for a party with that theme from some place like Daiso (a cursory search shows there are about 20 of them in the LA area).
 
I've never met someone who said, "You're just bitter" who wasn't themselves extremely bitter. It's a much stronger version of "You're just jealous" and indicates great seething.

Interesting that she says there will probably be to a return to great success for anyone who once had success, but then is in "flop era". You can find a much larger group of people who never succeeded again after failing out of Hollywood/modelling.

Come backs are rare. But Tess isn't lying. She really does think she's magically going to have a big come back for some reason.

Also she was a MODEL. You know, the career that is entirely looks-based and is notorious for women aging out at 30.

Tess is nearly 40, covered in tattoos and probably 500 lb. There’s no way she’s getting a come back.

I think the fact she started her career a decade too old, half a foot too short and 150 lbs too heavy has given her the false impression that she is exceptional, when in reality she was only ever a gimmick.

This delusion of her exceptionality continues to give her false hope, along with as a pp suggested, the fact she’s still getting small dregs of “work” that make her feel important.
 
Maybe she has one of those walker things you put one knee down on and walk with the other leg? And maybe it’s her nondriving leg that got hurt, if so she would be very lucky!
Absolutely NOT. Knee Scooters are for ankle/foot injuries. They don’t work for leg or knee injuries at all. The idea is your weight is held by the knee on the seat. Plus she has a straight leg brace to take the pressure off that ligament. Even with the knee scooters, you need a shorter cam boot or leg cast measured to not reach the seat when the knee is bent. That guy in the photo using it is clearly just a photo op and has no weight on that seat.

They are a brilliant mobility device though when wheelchairs, crutches or walking frames are the only other options.

ETA:
"Ok, you go home now and lose 75 pounds so we can continue your treatment. In the meantime, we'll see if we get lucky and see some healing before we need to do anything."
More like 275lbs. Even then she’d still be morbidly obese, and orthopaedic surgeons do not like doing knee surgeries on morbidly obese people.

I have a little bit of speculation about her injury. I haven't been able to get her injury out of my head since I heard about it.

First of all, I don't think a clumsy 500+ pound woman can have a slight or minor MCL injury. I don't think it's possible for her to merely sprain it. I bet she tore it, and tore it completely. Like one end is severed from the other, and it probably requires surgery.

I agree with another poster who said that when the doctor mentioned weightloss to her, she probably zoned out and went into full denial mode. In denial partially because the doctor mentioned fat, and that's super triggering for her and her worldview that says being 500 pounds means you're healthy. But also in denial because losing weight is probably necessary to facilitate the next step in reparing her knee.

The next step, I imagine, would be doing some kind of imaging on the knee to confirm the problem, or surgery on it, and she's too fat for either of those right now.

I'm sure the doctor mentioned that people with a level 1 injury (like a sprain) are able to heal on their own, meaning they get better without surgery (but still with lots of help, like physical therapy and special exercises). So the doctor probably said something like, "Ok, you go home now and lose 75 pounds so we can continue your treatment. In the meantime, we'll see if we get lucky and see some healing before we need to do anything."

And in Tess's mind, she decides, "I'm not going to lose weight, fuck your fat standards, I'm going to wait for this to heal."

So here we are, with no healing, no progress, no treatment, and we're all just confused as we look on.

That's my speculation anyway.

Best case scenario is probably 4-6 weeks.
Yes, but I feel like that's for teenage athletes, like track and field sprinters who can squat of 200 pounds and have strong, unstrained knees. People who can heal.

I don't even know if her body can heal a scrape on her knee, let alone an internal muscle tear.
 
Tess is trying to create a PSA for a trans community center

She was in LA over the weekend with Rylee and Bowie to sell her stuff at a plus size thrift market

That story about the fat guy on the ATV that rammed those Teslas got me thinking about Tess's weight again. The man is 5'2" and around 450 lbs and Tess is slightly taller than him by like an inch or two, so if you put them side by side, that means Tess is at least 450 lbs. Just some food for thought.
 
just a wrong step and landing on the side of a foot can damage a knee in someone who is taking up as much fucking space as she is. What would be a slight tweak for us that is forgotten a second later causes her a massive injury that could be unrecoverable.
This can happen even to normal weight people. Step off a curb wrong and snaaaap! The thought of doing it at that size is unpleasant.

They have open MRI scanners these days where it’s like a table, with a smaller C shaped open scanner above/below it. I think she could get an extremity done in one of those.
 
Think someone said this during a date, or is Tess just yelling into the void?

That last one is actually about a recent fat community happening. A few days ago, Remi Bader, a fashion “influencer” who was at one point fat, revealed on a Kardashian podcast that she had weight loss surgery. The fatties of the internet have been complaining about how genocidal that is. Our Tessy, of course, couldn’t let a fat internet situation play out without making it all about herself, and as such her take on it is that people should be paying attention to her fat ass instead. The take of a brave and wise plus size leader and not a bitter, desperate, flopping former moddle.

She made a TikTok mooing basically the same thing as that Thread but for an extended 2 minutes. I couldn’t see it on her own TikTok, she must’ve deleted it, so sorry for the quality of this as I had to screen record it from SamAtEverySize’s video on the Remi Bader situation.

This may have been "The cutie" she was talking about and I think it's a woman from the last comment and context in the other screenshots.

"Praise me for doing literally nothing! I want to be celebrated for existing!"

I agree. She's trying to date woman (or tried at least once) and besides being straight, she's not enjoying the more nebulous friends-or-lovers thing that the queers sort of have to do by default. Her relationships are about clear roles where the man lusts for her and praises her (until he goes gay or whatever) or gives her money. It's not about the genuine affection between two equals.

I doubt she's ever been friends with straight men, or was even friends with her husband or boyfriends.

And like I said, she's also straight, so she's not gonna have a good time dating women. Better to blame it on them, though.

Her calling Remi Bader "midsize" says how screwed up her perception of what a normal weight is:

If she was talking about the post-weight loss picture that would be one thing, but you know Ton Tonne Tess thinks that's skinny.

So this chick went from super morbidly obese to plus sized model, and this offends Tess because why is she not the only big gorl moddle. And also how dare Remi be much younger than her and not have achieved the feat of being wider than she is tall.
 
Her calling Remi Bader "midsize" says how screwed up her perception of what a normal weight is:
It unintentionally reveals that Tess knows she's significantly fatter than mid-size. She's well aware she's been in the "superfat" range for a while.

There's a couple charts floating around the HAES thread, but IIRC:
Fat activists online have divided deathfats into three basic categories for clothing and clothes modeling. Small-fat, Mid-fat, and superfat is a basic division that also reflects where they needed to buy clothes up until very recent times.

Small-fat would be sizes that are available in most clothing lines, like size 18 or an XL. Mid-fat used to only be special stores like Lane Bryant, but also the plus size section at Target. Probably size 22-24, a 2x to 3x.

Superfat used to only be found in specialty catalogs and online retailers like Woman Within. Even now, only a few retail stores like Torrid have superfat sizes. Those are size 26+, 4x+ and whatever Torrid calls their weird shit.

Tess is complaining about mid-fat models being the largest well known models for plus size clothing lines. She still refuses to publicly admit she's over size 24, and she's not quite ready to proclaim herself "super plus size" or superfat.

But she's sticking her toes in the water with this rant about mid-fats. I wouldn't be surprised if she started marketing herself as superfat or as a disabled model (knee injury) within a year. She's desperate for relevance and publicity.

No. “Mid fat” is not a thing. It’s “mid size” which is meant to be about a size 8/10-12/14. Sizes which are not considered plus, but which are not necessarily for obese girls (although most women under 5’5” wearing a size 10 are probably obese). They are making up a category between “straight size” and “plus size.” I can see the justification for it, if we’re talking about modeling and influencing. The “fat” scale (ie small-death-infini) is not in general use for clothing sizing (although I’d argue it inspired the sizing for that athletic wear brand, shero?, which had some associations with Fat Lip Ash, who takes credit for the fat scale).

A small-fat will likely be mid-sized.

You're both right. Here's Lesley Kinzel's "fategories".

But no one actually uses "Midfat". If I look it up as a hastag, I get nothing. Same for the other terms. I found one relevant video tagged with #smallfat (which you'll notice has the #midsize tag, too)

1743532046167.png

But in the normiesphere, "midsize" is super popular.

1743532397225.png

And "Plussize" doesn't seem to be going anywhere either.

1743532449320.png

Also, while I'm at it, I can also report seeing more "true curvy" in the "curves" tags as opposed to what we've been used to the last few years.
