FAT GIRL FEARS

Hey Ladies and Gents...

I was thinking today, what are some of the things that you never really hear a crowd of fat people never really talk about unless it's brought up through someone else who isn't fat.

I thought I would list some of topics, and issue we as the plumperellas and heaftyfellas face on a day to day basis, as we are all to self conscious to bring them up ourselves.

I like to call these "FAT FEARS"



fat friendly seating-for some of us extra heavier guys and gals... the booth could be a hit or miss

first time exposed when we are naked in front of your lover - lights on

feeling as a good "fit" with your partner - during the spicy play time

OH MY FAVORITE - FLYING ON A AIRPLANE - not only what are they gonna say when you check in... but just being comfortable on the plane ride

when somebody asks you to sit on there lap and you have no clue they are an FA

stiletto heels and weak ankles

bathing suit season

keeping up with the your own young ones

name calling in public

bra shopping

doctor visits

family and friend embarrassment issues

for the younger folk - gym class running laps and climbing ropes

size discrimination at the job

somebody parking waaaaaay too close to your car on the driver side

somebody making a remark when they see you carrying a diet cola



Okay I think this is a good few

We have to remember that we are all human... and if you have a fear that you are embarrassed about, the odds are somebody out there has the same one, or a few more to top your list.  We can't ever let our weight stop us from living... never, never, never! Most of the time, I like to think people around us are pretty understanding and nice.  Heck.... sometimes they have no clue, what we are going through as large people and it's right in front of their face.  We forget, maybe they are going through their own thing.  If a fear is in front of you... take a leap of faith and see what happens. And if you end up in an uncomfortable position, remember it's better to get the torture over with and rip the band aid off quickly,  then to rip it off slowly. 

From a fellow human to another, I am sorry and it sucks you gotta go through these things.  The silver lining is that when we face our fears, and find there is a problem, we can try to map out a solution at the end of the day.  The key is not to give up... and be upfront and honest about any situation, but mostly with yourself.  Remember that you weren't the first person to stumble across the problem and won't be the last.  Maybe, just maybe you will become a little braver to approach a situation for the next time.  One of the best things we can do is stand up for our selves and not hide.  This is when we find solutions.

Take care of yourselves!
