Healthy Fat Girl

Oh I don’t feel all that well, so much for being a ‘healthy’ fat girl… huh? I have come down with strep, a realization that hit me when I was standing outside in the cold and the rain at school. I am going to the ER or Urgent Care today to get this fixed. Don’t feel so good.

Anyhow, why did I start this blog? To ’stick it to the man’ really. After all, how many of us girlie girl types have spent hours preparing for a date with a really cute guy only to be turned away because we aren’t ‘healthy’ I won’t lie, I L-O-V-E my burgers, but what are burgers? Food. And more lasting that a friggin salad I would wager. It never ceases to amaze me to see my little sister slip into her size 00 jeans after downing a big mac and chugging some beer with that. I would be so drooling over the fact that she can do that. Except I’m coming to understand what true health is. It’s actually kind of funny to me that men find her ‘healthy’ . But, I suppose it just goes to show that we live in a world focused on what you present to it visually.

This is not a man bashing site, sorry, didn’t mean to get off on a foot that makes it look like it is. I mean, I recently went out with a guy that sounded just like ‘moto/moto’ from the 2nd instalment of magagascar. Seriously when I asked him what made him decide to ask me out, the response was ‘Your big, I find big girls so hot!’ SHALLOW! Am I impossible to please? No, I suppose it’s better to have a man that loves you for who you are… even if he’s singing ‘I like em shunky!’ when he goes out with you. I suppose if you are skinny you should enjoy that many men thrive on this look. And if you aren’t enjoy the ones that like you for who you are.

But this isn’t about the people around us. This is about us. Because your man could say ‘I like you big dear’ and if you don’t like yourself that way, then who cares? Really who cares?

So, over the course of time in this blog, I’m going to share my journey to self acceptance… that is the kind of health I’m really focusing on here. I hope that I will inspire others to do accept themselves too. Even if I have to shake and shimee horribly in a video and practice a little Carmen Electra Strip arobics for you as well. “Put your finger in your mouth because that’s sexy!” I took a couple of pictures of that one, didn’t look too sexy to me. I looked like I was going to gag! This is going to be a great journey. I look forward to sharing it with you!

Mwaa, Kimmi!
