Fat Girls

You ever have a moment when you are discussing a topic you are passionate about, and all of the sudden the person you are having the conversation with has to say something negative?  Well if you haven’t, I’ve had my fair share of positive conversations gone negative.  But what sparks me to discuss this type of topic is to perhaps reach out to those who have a tendency to always see the glass half empty as a posed to seeing the glass half full like me.  I consider myself to be a confident, young insightful when necessary, and optimistic type of person, however even my confidence can be knocked out of me.  This topic is dedicated to the Fat Girls/Boys within all of us.  I particularly want to focus on women; because this is what I’m an expert in being a woman.  This maybe an extension to the Government Regulations blog, but now I’m officially taking a stand for the Fat Girls!

I am tired of people putting Fat Girls in a box, and dictating what we should eat, how we should look, how we should feel, how we should behave, and what we should be wearing.  Now with that said if I decide to discuss what I am eating or trying to apply in my own home this is not the time for anyone to judge or make a comment about what I am doing.  If I choose to wear something like a bathing suit, alter top, daisy dukes, mini skirt, etc this is my choice.  I personally may not wear some of these items, but maybe when I am feeling confident in myself I may choose to do so, but what I do not need are the looks of disgust and judgment.   If and when I am eating out and I have a chef salad, but would like to have a slice of cheesecake this again is my choice.  Again, I don’t need the look nor do I need your comments. 

To all of the judgers of the Fat Girls in the world this is what I want to say on behalf of all of the Fat Girls or women with self image problems.  Our weight does not determine who we are as people; some of us are doing much greater things then those who are judging us for our weight.  Some of us Fat Girls can run a ½ marathon better than those judgers.  We are fabulous and fierce women with a few more pounds of love to share.  We are Fat Girls with education, career oriented, talented, and business owners and we are also mothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters, aunts, and daughters.  We have feelings and thoughts with substance we do not focus our lives around food.  We are empowered and strong in our own individual ways.  As Fat Girls we find ways to survive the negativity that is brought to us by our judgers in the world.  So before you pass another judgment on a Fat Girl remember she is someone special too.  Do not have pity on her; she is very aware of who she is as an individual and does not need anyone to focus on her weight, but simply focus on the person she is.  Instead take the time and get to know her, and what she is doing to empower other women in the world. 

***To all of the Fat Girls I hope I represented us well.***
