Looking into pregnancy and birth options (just 4 funzies so far!) for larger women I am APPALLED. Infuriated. While many of the articles are decent now, do not read the comments. According to regular old (skinny? maybe) asshole mcgee-you are gross; so gross you don't deserve to live-have sex-have babies. Your fat is so displeasing to look upon that it endangers your child's life (nevermind the scientific evidence says it does not! ) Such are the sounding boards of people who can not demystify the all-powerful causation does not equal correlation mystery. How very impressive (your bigotry, I mean.)I've never seen the anti-fat movement in such a frenzy, never seen them go for blood so ravenously. And I've been fat my whole life.
They remind me oh so much of the "infected" in my novel. Bloodthirsty, nearly brainless, so eager to please and be rewarded, and so very ravenous to injure.
I'm fat. I don't always eat what I should. Most of my really bad treats I make myself. But I exercise everyday (I have two young children, we are ALWAYS outside). I'm fairly certain I'll always be fat. I'm also happy, with a (slim) husband who adores me. I also happen to realize I'm quite beautiful. A very FAT kind of beautiful.
I won't apologize.
I also hit the 50,000 plus word mark tonight. I'm not done by any means, but thats a good (marketable) mark to hit. If I can wrap it up by 80,000 I'll be delighted. It feels good to hold that manuscript in your hands when it weighs something-when those pages are so numerous as to feel like (a very naked) book.
and i should probably go to bed.

im fat too... but oh well
trica
saying ur fat is like saying ur eyes are brown or blue. I don't really care. Some ppl like blue eyes, some brown-what you find attractive is your choice or could be inconsequential. It actually doesn't seem to be linked to health except for extreme cases.
And you are still quite small trisha. Particularly in comparison to myself.
