To "friend" on Facebook, I was quite hurt by what you said and think I won't bother coming to see you next week, wouldn't kill you to drive here either.
Basically I put a picture on fb of a dress I want to wear to a wedding, I am madly in love with this dress and wanted to get an opinion of it from my friends, she comes on and says "I'm not sure Hun, I think it would be difficult for the not skinny people of the world to pull it off, but your braver than me"
Ok so you think I'm fat (I am but I think it's just polite not to bring it up) an you also think that I would still wear something unsuitable just because you think I'm "brave"
I don't know why this bothered me as I did ask for opinions but I was asking for opinions of if it was a nice dress and if the style was suitable not if someone thinks I'm too fat to wear it. If it was up to most people I'd be wearing a sack to cover my hideous fat because I shouldn't wear nice clothes, they are saved for the skinny people.
I gave birth 9 weeks ago, give me a bit of slack for being fat please?
I'm gonna put this on Facebook:
Ive decided I'm done being ashamed of my body, it might wobble a bit or stick out in places others don't, I might not look like the women in magazines or in films but there is a reason for this, I am not those women I am me, I don't look like them because I'm too busy looking like me. I have spent so many years trying to disguise my body and making myself miserable with diets trying to become someone I'm not.
In my opinion My body is beautiful, my stretch marks show a map of how I grew my son, my saggy tummy shows how big and curvy my bump was and my fat bum gives me a comfy cushion wherever I sit.
My body managed to create a human life, a new being more beautiful than anything I ever saw.
How could I not be proud of something that has the amazing power to produce life from almost nothing, to sustain a new life inside?
I might not be your idea of beautiful or amazing but I have the only body I will ever have and I'm done wishing I had someone elses.
