I Am Fat. I am neither excited or shamed by the fact. I was also born with 12 fingers and left-handed which is hereditary among women in my family. This does not excite or shame me either. They are incidental to who I am as a person. When people feel the need to point out I'm fat I act surprised. "When did this happen? Oh My Freakin Gawd!! Thank You For Making Me Aware!!! I promise I will be filing a complaint with management! Then I go about my life. No one can make me feel bad about my appearance.

I think it is about self-esteem and finding a comfort level in your own skin. Just because I'm fat does not mean I have to wear ugly clothes or not do things I think make me look attractive. Also in you need a quick confidence boost join some of the BBW sites on Facebook! You don't have to have an account under real name. I don't post pictures but when I see the comments men make about women who do posts it makes me feel better. If someone is the same body type as me and she gets 20 or 30 comments about how beautiful she looks I think wow.... If they think she's beautiful then I'm beautiful to!

Also check out Amanda Hackey on both Youtube and Facebook! I love her because she could give 2 f**ks about what anybody thinks of her appearance!! I will try and post a video here.
