Why do people assume that I have an INNER SKINNY girl just dying to get out? Maybe I was not designed to be a thin person. Maybe this is how my body is supposed to look. “Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels?” REALLY? If you think that, you are seriously missing out. (Have you never tasted a home made Sweet Potatoe Pie or Chicken and Dumplings!)
As if I am in on hold – in some PAUSE position – waiting for that magical day when I am “FINALLY” thin. Well guess what. I am not putting anything on hold. I am fat and I am having a great time. I am not crying in my beer or my pecan pie. I am LIVING my life. I have been fat since the 3rd grade. What if I waited all of these years to:
- Dance my ass off
- Have a fabulous sex life
- Create 2 businesses
- Go to the beach
- Grow my tomatoes
- Travel to Las Vegas for the sex toy and lingerie trade shows
- Take a pole dancing class
- Enjoy my nephew’s little league games
- Join a book club
- Roller skate backwards
- Walk a half marathon
- Go camping with my friends
- Wine tasting with my girlfriends in Napa
- Have more hot sex
- Host pleasure parties
- Enjoy my niece’s amazing skills as my Curvy Girl assistant
- Facilitate my Sassy Networking events
- Travel to Europe
- Kiss my little brother’s chubby cheeks
- Witness the birth of my niece and 2 nephews
- Be interviewed by the Huffington Post about “ugly underwear”
You get the picture. If I waited until I was thin – If I put my life on hold until I lost another 20 lbs or 100 lbs. If I hid in my house and never put myself out there because some people don’t like fat people… I would miss out on so much. I am not willing to do that.
I just ignore people who HATE on FAT people. And, believe me. My life is full of those people, too. YES, even people in my circles have disdain for fat people – much to my disappointment.
My INNER SKINNY GIRL is not dying or crying to get out. My “stronger” and healthier inner girl is always at work – mostly because I have a lot to do still! (More hot sex and more curvy girl stores all over the country!) I still have so many women that I want to reach and teach how much PLEASURE our bodies are capable of. EVEN fatties can have tons of amazing pleasure – alone or with another person!
I just keep on SMILING and enjoying my life and ignoring the haters and my inner skinny girl has retired a long long time ago. I love all of the skinny women, the fit women, the strong women, the tall women, the fat women and the beautiful women in my life. You be you. I will be me. Let’s not JUDGE each other or make assumptions about each other. Let’s just LIFT each other up and support and love one another – fat or thin!
