Thank you to abcoconut, checkerschick, and size10plz for the questions! This is just a check-in, really, since we haven’t done a video in soooo long. But if we get more questions (via inbox, please), we can make more videos more often. :) Thank you, and enjoy!

Oh, and remember to like NOW Cupcakes on Facebook. ;)

Today I talk about my experiences with college Greek life (sororities and fraternities) back in my college days, back when I was over 300lbs. I had more to say, but Tumblr has a 5 minute time limit.

*Note: This video is not intended to bash or promote Greek life in any way. It is purely to tell of my experiences as a big woman going out for elite organizations. The school was Florida State University, and I am forever a proud Seminole alumni.

Today Mitch and I play THE NEWLYCOUPLE GAME! Thank you so much for all of your questions. Odds are Risa, evens are Mitch.

1. Letmebeaconfidentme: If Mitch could eat at one restaurant the rest of his life, what would it be?
2. Broccoliandbiceps: If there was one body part you’d never have to workout again and it would be perfect, what would you pick?
3. Broccoliandbiceps: If you could make one junk food healthy, which would it be?
4. FitForInfinity: If Risa ever ran for president, which member of her family would she say would be the biggest liability to her campaign?
5. Drop-the-weight: I’m guessing Mitch loves Disney just like you, so what is his favorite Disney movie?
6. 300poundcountdown: When you’re old and need to spice up your sex life, what’s the first thing you would do?
7. C-thinness: If Mitch’s house was on fire and he only had time to save one item, what would it be?
8. Letmebeaconfidentme: What color underwear is Risa wearing?

Today I talk about changing yourself for love and the influence of love on your life. Thanks to lilianabanana for the great topic!

(Sorry about the sound issues on a couple occasions. Was balancing the laptop on my knee.)

Holy hell, was this really only April 2nd? I totally forgot I made this one.

Today I review Vaportrim!

Flavors mentioned in video:

• Raspberry Cheesecake
• Chocolate
• Chocolate Strawberry
• Caramel Frappe

Sad news: The company has closed. I messaged them to see if they had any leftover stock I could buy, and I got a kind of cold reply back saying they’re not selling anything. So I guess you can’t get them anymore. :(

Sweet Kenz is still battling depression, unfortunately. But she is getting treatment. Sadly, she’s also getting a lot of anon hate, too. My heart is always with you, dear.

Here is her current Tumblr if you wish to send her some love.

By viewer choice, I share some personal stories on what it’s like being overweight. It by no means covers everything (thanks Tumblr 5-minute time limit), but I touch on some memorable elements.

And if anyone who did this to me ever watches this: don’t think I’ve forgotten who you are. I will know your name and your face for the rest of my life, and I will remember you as the ant I crushed making my way to the top. Screw you. With abundance.
