After working for a social media company for quite some number of weeks now- I've decided to take the plunge, begin a blog, and see if I can reach people like me- fat and, well, ALMOST proud of it (hey, I'm getting there).
You don't have to agree with every post I write or with any, but I do hope you'll be able to empathize, understand, think. If you're fat (or even if you're not) maybe you've had a similar experience... and if you're not fat, well maybe walking a mile in my shoes will give you another perspective.
I've been fat for a long time and it certainly affects how I look at the world, how I feel, and what I think. I consider adipose an important aspect of my life for good or bad, and I want this blog to reflect its importance . That having been said, despite the fact that I want this to be about fat, I also want it to be about life.
It's important when you start any endeavor to set out goals- even if you know they will change, even if you're confident you won't achieve them, and even if you're sure the goals aren't the point. So, here they are:
First, this blog will be about exposing what it's like for me to live in the world as a young fat woman. I don't want you to have sympathy- I want you to stop being an a**! Or maybe I do want you to have sympathy? see my story break below, Story BREAKS will happen a lot:
....
Story BREAK, I'll update this later.
......
Second, this blog will be about finding a voice and staying on point. I'm very good at taking on others voices but don't have a strong one myself....in the future you may think that many people are writing this blog- no just me and my many writing styles.
It's also about teaching myself to stay on point. As you can see, I have a tendency to add in every little thing- often essays and life for that matter are better edited.
I'll try to cut the scenes together for you- this is not my life uncut.
Third, this blog will be about love. Figure that one out!
Oh and... For the next few entries, I'll probably let you know my favorite written-by-others fat stories (with links!). I'll be looking at their experiences and their voice in order to help me find my own! I may also post a few of my own stories....muwaha. Get excited.
Cheers, Pip and Kiss, PP
