Oh Hells Yeah!

Hey, I've been fat all my life. I've come to terms with that. Not to say I wouldn't like to lose some weight, but when I was at my smallest (175) I didn't feel comfortable being that small.

I've found that being a big guy has its advantages. Most people don't mess with big guys, especially big, black guys. And I can find clothes that I like and that fit. I just can't shop at the mall, which is no big loss given my disdain for popular culture anyway.

I don't use my weight as an excuse anymore. There are plenty of other things wrong with me that I can use as excuses as to why my life isn't the way I want it to be. But being fat certainly is not one of them.

I believe that the term is "you go girl"?

I'm a little light on the lingo lately.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

That's an awesome video, she's awesome, and great for her to put it out there on the web to let other people share it. I think an even wider viewing audience would benefit from this, but sadly they'll probably never see it, because they don't have fat friends who will share. But, maybe the message will spread slowly.


On a related note, I just did the health screen thing on WebMD (to save $100 over the year on my insurance). It rated me at 148 out of 200, which puts me at the beginning of the "Excellent" category. With popular opinion on fat, who'd have thunk that.

PREACH IT, SISTA!

Size 00??? WTF?

Frankly this woman's beautiful; I particularly liked the swimsuit! Good for her for this video and thanks to you for sharing it.

Victor Buono expressed some very similar feelings in his wonderful album, Heavy! back in 1971. While he's pretty clear on the message of "I'm fat, deal with it," he's also particularly up front about how much he loves his "brisket of beauty" and how she's "much more like the things I like the best."

Oh yes!

Size 00??? WTF?

That means that if you're skinny enough, you get a license to kill people.

I really needed to see that today. I had a dr. appointment today and when they weighed me - ouch - not a pleasant number on the scale, and then the dr. launched into her lecture of "what do you eat, do you exercise". Blah Blah Blah... I know what I should be doing, I'm just not. In time... maybe I will. Until then ... kudos to you and Joy Nash for sharing!!!

That's awesome, you should call her and totally hang out. *Snerk*Invite her to con, you know she could probably rip it up right next to you.

[linnaeus.livejournal.com]

Highly awesome.

Definately a great video clip. I know a lot of people who should see that. I bet if there were any way to contact her that she's gotten a lot of offers.
