The Single Fat Chick-Introduced
October 31st 2006 21:34
When I came across Orble[dot]com, I knew I had a topic. Ok, maybe not the most politically correct topic, but it's who I am and I'm not ashamed. After 10 years on the Internet, I have found 85% of people are not honest about who they are, or what they look like. We all have imperfections we want to keep a secret. I don't consider being fat, (to be politically correct I am horizontally challenged, or as I prefer, carbohydrate tolerant), an imperfection. I am who I am. Do I enjoy being fat? Absolutely not. I doubt anyone does and if they do enjoy lying flat as a board while trying to squeeze into a pair of jeans, only to stand up and realize-that blouse is not going to hide the fat roll, then some serious therapy is needed.
I'm 33 years old. I'm single. I'm fat. The two stereotypes associated with fat people are-we're always jolly and we're lazy. I'm never jolly and I have to be the most hyper fat person ever-so laziness is not an aspect of my life. I have a sense of humor and a quick wit. Through life both attributes have proven successful for me. As a woman of size, (another politically correct term, makes me sound as if I'm some type of Amazon freak), dating has been rough and smooth. Just as it would be if I were a size 2. What I hope to achieve through this blog is to give others insight on what it's like to live as a single fat chick. With humor and intelligence. Although the intelligence part can be debated. From dating to job interviews, I will share my experiences. In return, I want people-men and women, to get involved in discussions. Share your own experiences. Tell me how you feel-whether you're overweight, or a person who automatically assumes the stereotypes are true. One important item I ask in return-respect. This is a chance to understand a group in society who are often times blamed for being fat. So, let's get the ball rolling! Men, women, thin, fat, rich or poor, show me your Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes and let the blogging commence.
