Intro to the Fat Girl!

I'm fat.

It's a fact and not one that I am afraid of. I've been fat ever since giving birth to that child that everyone told me would be worth all the extra padding and stretch marks. More about her later.

I like my fat. I am comfortable and don't even mind some of the negative remarks. I have a girlfriend who is afraid of the word FAT. "At the store, they have, ummm, 'bigger girl' clothes"

When people have told me of their disapproval of my acceptance of my fat, I ask them these questions. "Do you think I don't know I'm fat? Is it a secret?" I think that fat people know they are fat. No matter what you call it, chubby, overweight, healthy... it's all the same, it's just a word and I am not afraid to use it!

So for those of you reading this post and think that I'm rude and should be more sensitive to us fat folk out there, here's a question for you... "Why? Do you think we don't know we are fat?"
