The Fat Girl’s Guide to Life :)
I met this girl at the hair dressers, just randomly. We hit it off! We were talking and laughing and stuff. Then she said, “this is what I’m talking about, big girls are so much more fun than skinny girls, no offense!” She was big too. And I didn’t take offense. And you know what? She’s right.
I don’t blame her because I’m also usually thrown off when I click with someone in this country.
A few nights ago, my sister wanted to go to the Tiesto party, and her friends weren’t going. I told her that a few of my friends are going and she can go with them if she wanted. She said “But your friends talk and stuff and I don’t know how to ‘talk’ to people”. So I told her “that’s because you’ve always been a thin, pretty girl who never had to make an effort with anyone.” As soon as I blurted that out, I worried that I might have been too harsh, but you know what? She just shrugged and changed the topic. I presume that she agrees with me.
I’ve been reading this book, ’The Fat Girl’s Guide to Life’ by Wendy Shanker. I gotta tell ya; this woman is my soul mate!! :) She even said that she’d wear red in her wedding. I ALWAYS say that!!
The book talks humorously yet honestly about the way a fat person perceives the world. And how difficult it is being the way we are. But its also empowering and it boosts the self esteem. I love it!!!The book was so well written and so true!! While reading it I would yell “I KNOW!” all the time to no one in particular.I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, not just fat people. Anyone who knows anyone fat and anyone who thinks they’re fat, you’re gonna love yourself so much more after reading this book!!
