Am I the only chubby woman in the entire world that doesn't give a fuck about it?

Am I the only chubby woman in the entire world that accepts it? That realises that it's just a part of who I am?

Am I the only chubby woman in the entire world that would rather focus on more important things, like love and respect and a good book, than how many people think I'm pretty or want to fuck me? That my worth is not - and should not - be based on how many people look at me? That there is more to me than what you see?

Am I the only chubby woman in the entire world that accepts that some people are just fat? And that no amount of help, asked for or otherwise, will change that, because that is just how they are?

Am I the only chubby woman who does not feel threatened or mean-spirited about other women who are thinner than me? Who does not bitch about being fat all the time? Who is not obsessed over what she eats unless it involves my health? Who will never judge a woman fatter than me?

Am I the only chubby woman who will never gloss over my being a chubby woman? Who resents it when people tell me, "Oh, you're not chubby/fat/overweight" out of some kind of preconceived consideration for my feelings, when my feelings won't be hurt if called any of those things?

Am I the only chubby woman in this entire world that was once skinny and preferred to be able to eat things I liked rather than denying a few pleasures just to be what people want me to be? That loves a good cake and is never sorry for eating it? That will never apoligise for having a second helping of pie if I can?

People are different. We all are different. So why am I the only one who seems to get that this also includes weight?

What in pizza can you not have? I know lots of options that are out there. Pizza Pizza even does gluten-free crusts now. o_O If it's the sauce that's the problem, they do way more than tomato. :)

They do pesto sauce! Try it with whole wheat crust (if you can), chicken, mushrooms, spinach and feta or goat cheese.

BEST PIZZA EVER.

...Now I want some. :(

It's better to be a chubby woman than a chubby man, for a number of reasons.

Google "bear" sometime you're feeling adventurous. Not everyone gay is a gym bunny.

No offence, but being a chubby man is regarded as far more normal than a chubby woman. You can look at any tv show for proof of that.

TV is not indicative of reality. It's fiction, even sitcoms and dramas dealing with real people are exaggerated. In reality, things are much worse for chubby men. Just as an example, which one of us is single? XD

My mother just reduced me to tears. I mentioned I'm going on a blind date and that the matchmaker mentioned the guy is parapalegic. So I mention that to Mummy Dearest and she looks stricken. "I hope he doesn't think you're a pity date."

I shake my head. "I'm pretty open -minded."

Her-I mean, even in a chair, I'm sure he could do better than a fat girl.

I could go on for months on the abuse I get.

Does she not realize there are tons of guys who don't mind that sort of thing and even more who actually like it? What a bitchy thing to say to your own kids.

Not to brag, but I'm a law student/grad student who graduated undergrad with a triple major, all honors, has a fellowship and two internships, is going to be working at a white shoe billion dollar firm this summer and in my spare time, teaches bible to inmates. Seriously, I'm not that bad of a catch!

I tried to explain it to her and she says I'm rationalizing. What guy would want me? A mentally ill one? I'm slovenly, lazy (remember the above information) and weak. No one will want me, no one will hire me, no one will love me, me being overweight gave my grandfather cancer (which he beat, without me losing weight), she moo-s at me, she counts how many raisins I eat, I basically overachieve to make sure I have some self worth.

Oppps, rp journal. Hugs, I'm not hot, but I don't break mirrors regularly.

Mum's very image conscious. I'm more heart conscious.

Your mom sounds jealous.

I wanted to say mean things about her but then I decided not to because I think figuring she's just a really jealous person is enough. I don't know your mom so maybe I can't say she's jealous that you're smart or something but maybe she's just jealous you're accomplished. From what you've described it all just sounds like envy and jealousy.

Don't let a person like that-even if it's your own mother-get to you.

She sounds jealous, but she's actually someone who wants me to be something she can be proud of. She's so image conscious, she's someone who loves to have something to show off, and I'm not good enough.

In other words, control freak.

Probably.

The girl i,m stuck working with at my office weights maybe 97 pounds soaking wet and she's always complaining that she has a huge ass.

Well... I'm about 40 lbs over what I was last year. It's not so much that I'm concerned about how I look, rather, I don't feel comfortable in anything but my pajamas at this point. I don't really feel comfortable at all. :/

I mean, the fact that I'm short doesn't really help with finding clothes either, but it was way easier when I didn't have to reach like three sizes over. I really don't want to stay this way if I can help it - and I know I can, I just haven't really tried. :/
