Life in the FAT lane..

Seriously. Excuse my rant in advance.

I need to stop watching these stupid Hallmark Movies. because they are if nothing else... total bullshit.

Take 'Queen Sized', tonights movie about an overweight teen who after being teased, gets elected homecoming queen.

The whole movie just made me SHUDDER with disgust.And not because shes 'fat' but because of the total bull of the movie.

The whole monstrosity revolves around the fat chick who they portray as an over eating, whining, sniveling baby. She shoves chocolated, chips, ice cream in her face and then boo hoo's herself about being fat.

They make it seem as though all fat people are fat because they are lazy and overeat. YES, some do. but there are also a NUMBER of medical issues that contribute.

Meanwhile, in the end the suposed 'popular bitch' turns out to be the good guy. bc "omg. SHOCKER!" shes really a self hating girl who is really super nice underneath., And it turns out fat Maggie loses site of her goal and turns into a me me me girl. SIGH. get real.


Maybe I take offense to the fatitude. I was active, I went to the gym regularly. I cut out sugar, salts, carbs and most meats. I went to weight loss Doctors, meetings, clubs. Tried all the fad diets, tried following a diet made esp for me by licensed dieticians. Guess what, I still was overweight.

In an effort to branch out I did chearleading, I joined the bands color guard and spent hours on the field, i participated in powder puff both years.

Was i swarming in friends, popularity and dates? Nope
Was i losing weight like all the "experts" said i should be? Nope


So please, don't generalize the fat world as lazy pathetic and self loathing. Some of all are confident and healthy, even if we arent IDEAL.

blah. rant rant. sigh.

Happy Easter!
