We all have them.
Mine is brought on by the various pictures of me surfacing here and there from JournalCon (or snobbywhorecon according to some people.) I was in my chair this weekend for the vast majority of the time as I was in bad shape.
Let me digress for a minute as I'm not sure all of my readers over here know about this. I'm disabled.

I'm sick, I was exhausted, I was in a seriously bad mood.
Then, I received a package in the mail. Now, I hadn't ordered anything in a while, so I knew I hadn't bought it. I opened the box and out fell the soundtrack to "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Now, I adore Hedwig. I've watched the movie probably 100+ times.

Anytime there is a mention of fat or anything to do with fat, those that hate fat people come out of the woodwork.
I've given up about correcting them, most of the time. It is not worth the time nor the effort. Many of them have closed minds about weight and fat. They think fat is bad and that's allSuzy Smithnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3653405.post-1089433746033578472004-07-10T00:25:00.000-04:002004-07-10T00:29:06.033-04:00I now adore Mimi Smartypants.

While, I have been neglectful to you my loyal readers, I have not been neglectful to the size acceptance cause. I have written more letters than I ever wished to. The attack on fat in the USA is getting to the point that I wish I could turn of all sorts of media.

Now, I have drooled over their clothes for a long time, and they finally had one of the dresses I adored on sale. Even though it wasn't one of my 2 standard colors (red and black) I ordered it.

- The next time you go out, whether it's to the grocery store, the gas station, the post office, or just to sit on your porch, put on your favorite outfit. The one that makes you feel sexy, that gives you confidence.
If you don't have an outfit like that, buy one.
- Buy clothes that fit not just your body, but your personality. If you're a wild girl, show it. Yes, I knowSuzy Smithnoreply@blogger.com0
