Fat girls are funny!!!

Good Morning folks!!! And it is. i've had my weetabix drowned in skimmed milk (white water to you and me), unintentional excercise (chasing the dog around the house trying to get my knickers out of her mouth ) a bit of a gossip with HEAT magazine and some lovely comments on my blog . So first of all a big thanks to you for being so nice and apparently finding me amusing.

Now, i dont mean to sound bigheaded or arrogant or adoration seeking ( i am all 3 but sssshhh no-one will ever know) but i tend to agree,  And i read some more blogs, and laughed and almost cried laughing at some of them (pft the great scale debate, Rach you know who you are) and then it smacked me upside the head like a ten tonn truck.

FAT GIRLS ARE FUNNY!!

Now, obviously i am not refering to any of you as fat (that would go against the social grain) but I most certainly am. So i was thinking... well it beats working for a living... everyone of my friends who is not a stick insect, is very humourous. Why? Because we feel the need to be witty and funny and charming to compensate for our larger build. We can only attract men (or women if that's the case) not by our looks, although some of us larger ladies are bloody stunning, but by our personalities. We have to be more confident, more outgoing, more willing to listen, funnier, adventurous, kind, and be a really great cook (well we would have that skill down after all, according to society all we do is eat!)

So, what will happen when im thin? will i lose my sense of humour? will you find me becoming more and more dull as i lose my personality with the flab? we have all read stories about women changing after losing weight..will i become a crabid old stick insect who doesnt crack a smile and cant take a joke and is so paranoid about the calorific content of food i eat nothing but ice cubes and chew on the arms of my chair for comfort?

So i am off to pretend to do some work, maybe surf the net looking for a big ole chair with the tastiest arms i can find.

Til later, remember, food is not the enemy, our attitude is

Thank you

Just wanted to really thank you for your comments on my blog the past couple of days.  What a great place EP is!!!  So glad I found it :)

Fat girls are funny.  And for all the reasons you stated and more.  Even before I was truly fat and just thought I was fat because of comments from people who should have known better I have always used humor as a defense mechanism as well as it's just plain fun to be funny :)  I hope that we will all keep every bit of our sense of humor in tact along this journey.  No one would know what to do with a serious me LOL

And I love your comment that food is not the enemy, our attitude is.  So true!!!  I've known it in some way for the longest time, but this is the first time in my life I'm truly starting to put that into action. 

Too True

You are spot on and in a way its kinda sad. I've never consciously thought 'if I'm funny people will like me' but I think it can be seen when you look back over my life. Not that I mind, I love people telling me I make them laugh (hopefully with me not at me)

Thanks for the comment on the wiifit, I was feeling quite downheartened with it, as I like seeing my little stamps on the calender but hate the up and downess of it. Once a week for me from now on.

It's a running program.  The web site is www.c25k.com if you're interested.  It's a nine week program that literally takes you from the couch to running a 5k.  Even if you don't think you're a runner.  Cuz I'm not.  But I'm doing this!

Lol!

I had a picture of us, at goal weight, sitting in the front row at Milan Fashion Week, munching on carrot sticks with oh-so-bored-and-vacant Posh Spice expressions on our faces...

....however, when I got to the bit about you chewing the chair, I changed my mind. I don't think you will be in a fit state to be in public! Better get ten cats instead.

And if you are being Boedaccia, I am going to have to go for the Fat Superhero look, granny knickers on the outside and all.

so true

us lardies are funny! I had my OH in stiches last night and I don't even know what I said that was funny!!

True!

You really crack me up!  :)

I did want to comment about the fat free milk.  I started on it a couple of years ago after learning that my cholesterol was slightly rediculous.  And yes, I agree that it tasted like white water.  But I tell ya, once I got used to it, I seriously can't drink any other kind of milk.  Once when I was on vacation as someone's house I tried to eat a bowl of ceral with 2% milk and I honestly thought that I wasn't going to be able to swallow it because it tasted so thick and gross to me.  haha  Whodathunkit?!

I totally agree about the fat girls being funny thing.  And all the other stuff you said about that too.  I feel the exact same way.  I'm certainly not going to win an award or get any attention for my HOT body, so I think I probably try to make up for it in other areas of my actual personality.  I think that I will still be the same way once I lose weight though.  And the reason I say that is because I think that after being this way for the last 10 years, I think that even if I lose weight, I will still have a poor body image and probably some psychological scarring! lol
