Hi, my name is Candice, and I'm
fat. No, you did not just walk into an Overeaters Anonymous
meeting. I just wanted to get that out, right away. Some people might
think it's not politically correct to use such a vulgar term. They'd
prefer I call myself some nice euphemism like "cherubic," "voluptuous,"
or for those lovers of Xena Warrior Princess,
"Amazonian." However, When you are thirteen years old, stand five feet
tall on tippy-toes, and weigh in at 150 pounds, most kids your age
don't express your condition in such tender terms. I have been called
names such as "Lardo," "Wide Load," and even "Candy, the Candy
Terminator, No Candy Is Safe with Her Around."
That, my friends, was the quote of yesterday.
