Well...haven't we all had the moments? The days? The pass by a mirror or a reflection in a window and feel...FAT? That's why we're here! Because we ALL have those moments, days, times in our lives. UGH! Whether your a size 00 or 34, we all go through it. And so we decided to make a page where we can come to let it out, comisserate with each other, feel better about ourselves, see that it's not so bad, get encouraged to lose a few pounds, somedays gain a few, find solutions, ideas, or just vent it out, which can be some of the best therapy ever! And so we're doin' it, and you're welcome to join!How'd we come up with this name, you ask? Why, it's so clever! So funny! So FREEING! And bang, that's it!See, I used to be a very big girl. I was in the last size sold at Lane Bryant. And I said to myslef, and friends and family, "you know what, I'm gonna make my own line of clothes and call it 'For You Fatty' because who am I kidding?" It's not like no one knew I was big. It's not like I wore a "skinny suit" (no such thing) and when I got home I took it off, letting the rolls spill out in the private, where only myself and pets knew. It's not like shopping at Lane Bryant kept others from realizing I wasn't a size 6. I just felt liberated, and accepting, and thought, "you know what, own it!" And I did...a little too much. I embraced it a bit too much and gained another 20 lbs. Finally something clicked (see about me) and I lost the weight, but I am still a fat girl living in a thinner body, and I still love food, and I still call myself Fatty Patty at times...and by god, I loved my clever little name! So I got together with my BFF and we decided to use the name for this space, a space where we can be accountable to each other, and hopefully get back to our desireable weights, and soothe each other on the days we didn't do so good.Now those of you who have your positive self image and are frowning upon us at this very moment - more power to you! (and side note, start worrying about wrinkles) I've seen some people with such a high self image that I have been floored by the ideas and thought process that must be going on in their mind.
For instance -- completely random situation here, not AT ALL true -- say your local bar is holding it's monthly amateur strip contest, and you decide to enter, and even after the contest is over, and you lost, you're still parading around in your unbuttoned jeans, with no shirt on, and only two X's of tape covering your nipples, full of self confidence. Only the funny thing is, we already saw your pot belly long before you undressed because it was spilling out over your jeans, your shirt was already hanging on for dear life, and I'm pretty sure I had heard the seam of your pants scream my name for help a few times! I'm not saying this girl shouldn't be this weight, and feel good about herself, but just...mmh...because...urgh...it...hmph...fits...whew!...doesn't mean you should wear it! Have some dignity, love your body, and display it in a way that flatters it. Dress appropriately for public outings, and by all means, don't expect to win the $500 at Faces that night!
Now...who's hungry?

So the real question is...did you buy anything healthy?
Did you not SEE the picture of the products on the conveyor belt? Healthy Choice city, lady!
Hmm...I did not. I must go look...but I gotta say, it's my favorite blog out of all of them. A picture is worth a thousand words. :)
