Good And Fat Can Go Together

People talk a lot about why they want to be thin.  It is like thin is the only place you can be happy.  I don't agree with that, although I think thin is one of the only places you can be healthy.  That in mind, it is a worthy goal to pursue.  However, I want to take a minute and tell you a few things I am going to miss about being fat.
  • My daughter loves to push on my tummy and watch it pop back up.  She lays her head down on it and tells me how soft it is and uses me as a pillow.  I have a feeling a firm tummy will not be as much fun for her.
  • Dressing up is not really something I do because I don't have any clothes that look good on me at this weight.  That is kind of fun actually.  You don't have to worry about how you look, you just kind of go along and get spit up by the kids and roll in the dirt and it doesn't matter.  
  • You get to indulge in yummy treats ALL the time.  When you are heavy there is really no incentive to say "no thank you, I think I'll pass on that gooey brownie".  Nope.  You just eat it.
  • My boobs are really big.  Yup.  Just no way around saying that.  It's a plus for sure.
  • You don't have to worry about sewing buttons back onto your clothes because none of your clothes have buttons.  They are all stretchy and comfy, with nothing to clip, clamp or clasp.
  • Other girls don't hate you because you're prettier than they are.  Come on, you know it's true.  Fat girls have lots of friends because they are not a threat to anyone.  We are just comfortable to be around.
  • When someone asks you to go out to eat with them you say "yes thank you" and enjoy a night of eating yummy food and good conversation.  Lots of food and lots of conversation = happiness.
  • You get a happy feeling when you eat really good (bad for you food).  It can be a real mood elevator when you are having a tough time.  Especially when done in excess.
So, there are just eight things I will miss about the "fat lifestyle" when it is gone.  However... don't let this post make you think I am changing my mind about losing weight.  I am determined to live a healthier lifestyle... but I don't want you to think that being heavy is all bad either.  There are pluses and minuses everywhere in life!
