Home	Tuesday, September 02, 2003 4:37 PM I did something this summer that I haven't done in years, probably since I was 10 or so. I bought and wore sleeveless shirts, y'all. Two of them that I could wear outside the house (because inside the house, I'm all about the tanktops.) Now, any thin beautiful armed woman reading this does not get the significance. Fat woman hide their arms. We do. Sleeves or jackets or wraps, you will not see a fat woman letting their arm fat out. Oh, no. Whether it's a formal dress or a tshirt, we hide them. Should we be in a wedding where the dresses are sleeveless we bargain and beg for a wrap. We just don't show them. Well, I did. Gleefully. One red, one white, sleeveless shirt. Worn multiple times this summer, arm fat flying, daring anyone to say a word. And it was lovely, y'all. In the Virginia summertime heat, it was just amazing to be able to let my arms be just a tad cooler. Hell, I even wore a sleeveless dress without a shirt underneath. Freeing myself, one day at a time from the shame of fat. I am fat, I am woman, and I'm back :) Suzy Smith Tuesday, August 19, 2003 3:26 PM Yikes, it's been a long time. Summer is weird around here, busy as hell, no name to do everything I want to do and FBG has been the one to suffer. Soon fall will be here, though and I'll have more time to myself and more time to post here. I'm planning on keeping the blog part, but also posting more in article format come September 1st. Until then, there maybe some updates here, but there may not be. I promise, I will be back come the first in full on rant mode, with pictures, articles and hopefully a revamped forum that I'll actually have the time to work on. Until then, Suzy Suzy Smith Wednesday, July 02, 2003 9:14 PM The New Pics are Here Suzy Smith 7:41 PM Eww, I am not liking the new blogger interface, it's pretty damn ugly. I have a new set of pictures, which will go up later tonight. I know I'm neglectful of all my online stuff, here recently. I have a million thoughts going through my head. But, today, I had an encounter with a woman at the grocery store. I was inline buying cleaning supplies, and a couple of other things for this weekend and I could see her glancing over me trying to see what was in my cart. I have a giant bag that was with me, so I tossed it on top of my stuff. She had no reason to see what was in there, none at all. I knew what was going through her head, "Oh, look at the Fat woman, let's see how much junk food is in her cart." All of us who are fat know that look, we've seen it before. The You Shouldn't be buying that look. I fucking hate that. As if anyone has the right to tell me what I can and can not eat. Even if I had a cart full of cakes and pies and chips, it's my fucking body, damnit. After she realized she couldn't see must of my purchases, she moved to the side to look as I loaded the belt: Lemons 3 Yellow Onions 2 3lb bags Breading Mix (for chicken for the 4th) Cigarettes (I know, they really are horrible things.) Containers (Gladware) Large Containers Cleanser Toilet Paper Solo Plates Utz Sour Cream Potato Chips (horror, the fat lady has potato chips) Utz Plain Potato Chips (2 bags!) Clorox Hot Dogs 1 .39 with a coupon, grilling time Green Chilies Steak 2 Ground Chuck (yeah for cooking out) Newspaper. Wow, that's a horrible thing isn't it? I bought some food that wasn't lowfat or produce. I hate being judged for that. I want to take her home with my cram her face into my fridge full of produce, my freezer full of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Then, I realize. It doesn't matter. People like her always think the worst of fat people. And really, even if I had a cart full of junk, it's none of her damn business. Stay out of my cart, woman. I did look back at the belt as she loaded her stuff onto it. Fresh Preps, Meal in a boxes, frozen dinners and pizzas. Yet, she had the look on her face about me? Argh, I maybe fat, but damnit at least I cook. Have a great night. Suzy Suzy Smith Monday, June 23, 2003 2:55 AM New set of pictures can be found here. Have a great Monday. Suzy Smith Friday, June 20, 2003 4:37 AM And now a new thing. Pictures. At least once a week, if not more, pictures of the Fat Bottomed Girl. Yep, pictures. You can go here to see them. Suzy Smith Friday, June 13, 2003 8:55 AM Athena (of iam.bmezine.com) asked me five. You want five questions? Make a note in the comments section and I'll make up five for you. 1. Which teacher most influenced your life and why? Trudi Ficklin, my High School Home Economics teacher. Not only did she save my live be getting me involved in school and helping to realize I do have value to the world, but she taught me so many basic life skills. She's an incredible woman, whom I'm grateful to have known. 2. You wake up one morning knowing that it's your last day to live. What's the first thing you do? Kiss my husband. 3. If you could have an extra body part (male or female) attached to any part of your body, what would it be and why? A hand. I never seem to have enough hands to do what I want to do. 4. You're endowed with the magical power to cure one disease - which one do you pick? Cancer, without a doubt. More people die from cancer than almost anything else and normally it's a horrendous death. 5. What's the best story you've ever heard? The story of Creation. Suzy Smith Sunday, June 08, 2003 4:35 PM Freedom Paradise is the first fat positive/acceptance beach resort in the world. Hot damn, I will be there someday, oh yes, I will. Suzy Smith
