I would have to select the shrink/fatten tool in tools or press Alt+S. I did, but it only shrink/fattens along the Y axis, but not the X axis and it is really peeving me off.

    Make sure Pivot point is not set to Individual Origins (set it to something else, e.g Median Point with Ctrl+Coma). Also please add some screenshots to your questions, guessing is always something preventing success. – Mr Zak Jul 29 '17 at 22:59

    Shrink/fatten 'scales' based on the normals. A standard scale S can be restricted to a single axis. You can also scale on only two axes. – sambler Jul 30 '17 at 06:51

    did you scale the whole object outside of Edit mode? if yes, go back to Object mode, hit CTRL+A and select Scale – Violet-n-red Jul 30 '17 at 09:05

Press the corresponding button on the keyboard to tell Blender which axis you want to use, namely: X,Y or Z. Select the faces you want to scale, press S and press X to scale along the X axis.
