I’m Fat and I’m Fabulous

My name is Christiania and I'm 26 years old. I wear anything from  size 22W - 26W. I am currently a stay at home Mom and Wife. For years I would beat myself up for not being one if the "Pretty" Skinny girls, like the one's in magazines and on TV or walking about on the beach with bikini's on. I've learned to look at things in two different ways.. Don't like it, then don't look and I'm me. Love it or Shove it!

For most of my life (like other overweight women), I have been pressed up by other because of my size. Yes people I realize that I am overweight, but that does not give you the right to judge me. The point is.. that you don't know my lifestyle. People see us "overweight" people and the automatically assume 1) Oh they eat all the time that's why they are fat. 2) They must be lazy. 3) Wow they eat alot of fast foo. 4) They must be really unhappy.... any there are many many more a can assure you.

To address number four from the above paragraph:

   Just because I am FAT does not mean that I am unhappy in anyway. I am perfectly happy, with who I am and the way I look. I don't over eat, in fact I eat a very decent healthy meal. To quote a another Blog that i read earlier tonight (http://www.jenniferpwilliams.com/2010/10/dear-marie-claire-im-fat-and-im.html)

"The size of my body has NEVER affected the amount of happiness in my life.  It has never affected the way my husband feels about me. I know that may be hard for some people to believe, but regardless of size my husband has always found me sexy.  For real.

It has never affected the number or quality of friends in my life. I have lots of them, and they all love me in spite of the fact that I’m morbidly obese.  As a matter of fact I believe that if you asked them to describe me the size of my body would be the last thing that came into their minds.  Lucky me that they care more about the size of heart than the size of my ass."

I think she said it right. Being fat does not make me any different from anyone else.. it just means that there is more of me too love. Yes in all honesty I would like to lose a few pounds but that's for ME and not anyone else!  I will also admit that yes I do feel awful going into stores like "American Eagle" and not being able to buy anything but jewelry because I can't fit into any of the clothes, but in the end I'm kinda glad because I'm too cheap to spend $50 on a freaking t-shirt. 

What it all really boils down to is this..If I am truly happy with myself then why in the hell should I really give a crap about what other people think about me? The answer is.. I don't give a crap about what people think about me. I'M FAT AND I'M FABULOUS AND LOVING IT!!! 

Love me or hate me. I am what I am!
