All of my life I have struggled with being a plump girl. Like most of us, my weight has yo yo-ed numerous times. What I have come to accept is that no matter how often I go to the gym or what size I can squeeze into this month, I will always be a thicker girl. Whether it be slightly thick, or pretty darn thick, it's in my genes and I need to accept it. This blog is not going to be about glorifying being a larger girl. I want to lead a healthy life, and at times it can be a challenge, but I keep at it. But like I said, no matter how much we work at it, some of us are meant to be thicker. I see some of these celebrities that have lost a great deal of weight in the tabloids, and in all honesty sometimes I think to myself "They looked better like they were before." Some people were made to be plumper.
That being said, I would like to start my blog discussing the stigma that goes along with being a "plumper" girl. Men are made to think that being attracted to a thicker woman is something to be embarrassed about. Let me tell any of you younger girls out there something- I have been hit on by MANY men of all shapes and sizes, some of them VERY attractive! I was actually with a very attractive man a few months ago, but come to find out he was only looking for one thing. Funny, isn't it? I mean, he could have gone looking anywhere for sex, but he wanted it from me. (Disclaimer: this blog is in no way going to be censored, so if you are getting nervous, best stop reading now.) Of course, once he got what he wanted he was out the door.
Why did he leave? We had a lot in common, got along great, were attracted to one another... One can't help but wonder if it was because he was worried what people would say if he brought the chubby girl out some time to meet the friends.
For all of you men out there, if you really are that worried about what other people will think, you are pathetic and are not worth our time.
For all of you women out there, just because he is good-looking and a charmer, doesn't mean he is a quality product!
I always viewed blogs as being self-indulgent, but my hope is that this blog will give girls of all sizes something to relate to.
I absolutely agree that some people are meant to be thicker! Some girls are 125, and they look totally fine. Some girls look sickly and starving. It makes me sad that people are so focused on the number they see on the scale that they don't take time to look in the mirror and realize that they're fine how they are.
