OMG This Skin Makes Me LOOK SOOO FAT!

Tweet

Pardon me whilst a rant awhile. There are few things that aggravate me more than stupid people. Very few. But on that short list is people and their incessant whining about their weight. *Disclaimer* I use the word FAT, A LOT in this discussion. I use that word because that's what fat people are. They're fat. They're not large; they're not stout, chunky, hefty, or plump. And they're not big-boned. Dinosaurs are big-boned. These people are not necessarily obese, either. Obese is a medical term. And they're not overweight. Overweight implies there is some correct weight. There is no correct weight. Heavy is also a misleading term. An aircraft carrier is heavy; it's not fat. Only people are fat, and that's what fat people are. They're fat. I offer no apology for this. It is not intended as criticism or insult. It is simply descriptive language. Let me also add that I AM NOT thin, skinny, anorexic, or any other descriptive word often used to describe people who aren't fat. I am 5'7" and roughly 160 lbs. But I have muscles in my thighs that could break a mans neck if he were not careful. I'd say I'm athletic, but then that would denote that I'm an athlete and I'm not. So here is to everyone I offend in this discussion. My sincerest apologies. Now back to my discussion. It boils my blood when I see a 5'4" 100 lbs. soaking wet if they are lucky little twit whining that she can't wear this or that because it "Makes her look fat" She could paint herself up in 50 gallons of lard and still NOT LOOK FAT. But hey, I guess if you aren't built like Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen then you are FAT. It also made me wonder how in the heck Britany Spears (god I loathe this woman) was criticized for her appearance at some worthless awards show because she was TOO FAT to be performing in what she was wearing. I could only hope that one day I too am as FAT as Britany. Then there are the women (and I say women because I have yet to meet a man who checked his rear end in the mirror before leaving the house to make sure his jeans didn't make his butt look big) who won't wear white because it makes them look fat. They won't wear shorts cause it makes their legs look fat. God forbid they go to the beach and wear a bathing suit because then EVERYONE can see how FAT they LOOK. And these women are adequately proportioned. 36-28-36 is now considered FAT if you are to listen to these women ramble. Here is a news flash! CLOTHES and COLORS don't make someone LOOK fat. Only FAT makes someone LOOK fat because they ARE fat. I can't be the only one who realizes this, am I? I USED TO BE FAT so I would know. I was 242 lbs. when I delivered my second child. Yes, go on and tell me I wasn't fat I was pregnant. NO! I was fat. I was so fat I could look out of the corner of my own eye and see my butt! And my BUTT wasn't pregnant. But I knew I could lose the weight once I had the baby so I tried my best through my overactive hormones to laugh at myself whenever possible. I remember a nurse asked me if I knew my blood type when I went in to deliver. I told her yes. It was Ragu. But there is another side to this annoyance of mine. FAT people who refuse to admit they are FAT!. No one wants to see 280 lbs on a 5 foot frame squeezed into a pair of jeans that must have been sewn together with the thread they use to make parachutes walking down a street with so many rolls of flesh hanging out from under their mid riff shirt that it looks like she is a traveling summer sausage saleswoman. Ever heard the phrase, "Spandex, it's a privilege, NOT a right" Yeah, that is what I am talking about. Just because it comes in your size DOES NOT give you the right to put in on and wear it in public. I often think these people live alone or with others who secretly hate them. If they were my room mate they would never get out of the house without being told they look ridiculous in whatever they are wearing. Wouldn't you rather be told by someone you know rather than a strangers child in a restaurant how FAT you ARE, not look, ARE. Because we all know child are too entirely honest. So there is my rant on fat. Anyone care to contribute?
