Friends! Romans! Countrymen!

Hello. I’m Victoria and this is Big Tail on the Trail. A blog exploring hiking and backpacking as a plus-sized woman. WHY? Because there isn’t nearly enough resources out there for fat people who want to be active. Just because I’m a big bitch does not mean I aspire simply to exist on my couch while nibbling on something, I aspire to nibble on something WHILE hiking too!

There are two types of fun while adventuring. There’s Type 1 which is enjoying the hiking and looking at all the beauty around you and lovin’ life and not being tired. Then there’s Type 2 where you’re looking at your feet, feeling tired and sore, and hella out of breath but afterwards you realize you enjoyed the time and effort you put into your adventure. I’m more of a Type 2 but I aspire to be a Type 1.

Type 1 aspirations, Type 2 reality

I’m not close to where I want to be and that’s okay. I will get there with time and persistence. This won’t be a blog chronicling weight loss, it will be a celebration of what my body can do and the adventures that will come. I’ll talk about gear, trails, tips, and tricks and we can do this thing together. Won’t you join me?

  1. The awesome thing about nature is that it doesn’t care who you are! It pretty much invites everyone!

    You look really tired lol!
