What is wrong with the word fat? Why is everybody afraid to say it? It's like a curse word for crying out loud. I'm the kid of girl that calls it like I see it and honey I'm FAT! I much rather be called fat than morbidly obese...what the hell is morbidly obese anyhow?

Okay so I do not see the word morbid in there anywhere, in fact I kinda like #4 - 6.
I say embrace the word Fat and be who you are. Besides it's the shortest word you can use to describe yourself :)
I leave you with a quote from one of my favorite comedians...
"I use the word 'fat'. I use that word because that's what people are: they're fat. They're not bulky; they're not large, chunky, hefty or plump. And they're not big-boned. Dinosaurs were big-boned. These people are not overweight: this term somehow 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 !" ~ George Carlin. (RIP...I miss you)
This blog is dedicated to all the fat chicks out there that get counted out, because of their weight. I want to share my advice, experiences, ups, downs, awesome websites, special deals, and anything else that pops into my mind. Most importantly I hope I can make you laugh. Everybody needs to laugh :0D
