Love/Hate Relationship

Things I hate about being overweight:
  • Plus size clothing is only made for frumpy old women
  • My friends talk about cute designer clothes and I feel awful
  • Boys don't give me the time of day
  • Even if a guy did like me, I would be too embarrassed to ever be naked infront of him
  • My stomach rolls over my jeans when I sit down
  • Stretch marks
  • When I wear a skirt and walk to much, my theighs rub together
  • I have fatty lumps on my arms and can't wear sleeveless tops in the summer
  • My ankles and wrists are swollen
  • I can't get the expensive ring that my mom got me to slide off of my big fat finger and now I might have to get it cut off
  • The way skinny people look at me like I am disgusting
  • The way that people look at me in public when I am eating something unhealthy, thinking "she really should ony be eating salads."

Things I like about being overweight:
  • I have something to hide behind, a reason to be unhappy
  • I feel like it's almost okay to binge because I am already fat anyway
  • I can stay home on a Saturday night and just chill. Less pressure to be social
  • I am very understanding of people with different physical features because I know how hard it is to be a fat person in today's society- how you look does not determine who you are

And so here goes another Friday night alone in my apartment with nothing but my thoughts...

  1. "How you look does not determine who you are"...I *love* that and that is something that has taken me awhile to grasp (okay a long time, and I haven't *fully* grasped it for myself yet, but getting there..) I think that will be a good mantra for me. Have a wonderful day!
