Life As A Fat Girl

Feb 26, 2011 12:27

You see a fat girl sitting in a restaurant eating a salad, you:

A) Walk on by without a comment because it's really none of yours to police what she is eating.
B) Smile and say, "Good for you! I'm proud of you.", as if the approval and positive reinforcement of a stranger is warranted.
C) Only see the fact that the fat girl is eating and say snidely, "Just eat a salad, for fuck's sake, you fat ass."

If you answer C, I would advise you to get your eyes checked because the fat ass is eating a fucking salad.

I decided that I'm going to do something that I haven't done, I'm going to start being a little more open about what's going on in my life lately. I've been off LJ for a while for many reasons that I'll get to at various points, besides LJ= Free Therapy.

I'm going to start off by saying that I'm going to refer to myself as a fat girl quite often. I'm not doing this as a ploy for sympathy or to hear people say, "Oh, you're not fat, just fluffy.". I'm doing this because that is what I am...fat, and I'm fine with that. I have, after a long time of heartache and shame, come to terms with who I am. I am a person to whom fat is just another adjective used to describe, not define, her. I am also funny, wonderful, and worthy enough to be able to exists just as I am.

Before I get anyone else commenting, "But the fat, it will kill you!!!!!"

Let me just say that I am healthy and I have a great Doctor who can back this up.

I'm going to leave off here, but I hope my friends will be open-minded, and interested, enough to learn about me and why I need to do this.

haes, life as a fat girl, fat acceptance
