So this would have been Friday's post but I was otherwise occupied so here I am doing it now. What shall I talk about?
I want to talk about being fat. Yes, i said it, FAT.
This isn't going to be a massively long post but just a few things really.
What makes people think it is acceptable to come up to me and ask "Are you happy with your weight?" Do i look unhappy? Do i ever seriously complain? Do I not, despite being fat look better than you anyway? Are YOU happy with being so ugly/stupid? Maybe you and I should go to a special camp - oh wait - damn. I can lose wait but you can't hide your ugliness or stupidity. Nevermind.
It would be totally unacceptable for someone to come up to me an ask "Are you happy being yellow?" - and to be fair, I can't change my skin colour and I could change my weight but whatever.
Point being, it's not nice. I don't appreciate it. I don't appreciate having to feel like I am defending myself. Sure, I would love to be skinny, but I know that I am not doing anything towards that particular look so obviously it's not traumatic for me to be fat.
And argh argh blah blah blah. I am going to go eat a horse now.
Love this post. You hit it on a nail sista! Maybe I should of put this on email, but anyway- Some people are so insensitive. I once always said some people need to use their common sense. Shouldn't some decency, consideration and simple acceptance prevail especially the times we all live in?
ReplyDeleteHaha, then I was always corrected by Sugs: 'Sense isn't common!'
Its not even the whole 'being fat' issue. I also get 'Don't you ever want to go back to work?' through sympathetic eyes. Who said I was suicidal?
Love ya xxx
