Say It Loud, I'm fat and I'm proud!


Has Raven Symone ever mentioned her weight? She does carry herself well and knows what to wear for her size but has she ever come out and just said, "I am big and beautiful,baby." It's interesting how many of us live in constant denial about our size. Lemme help you figure out if your big or not.


Here's is a list that I came up with just now! Some are yes/no statements, some are just for you to gain some type of clarification. Here we go:



  • being 170, no matter what ethnicity you are, is fat unless you are 5'8 or taller


  • do your legs rub together? they don't on skinny ppl


  • even if you have an hourglass figure that doesn't make you fit, especially if you waist is a strong 36 plus inches


  • when all the jeans you have fit you like skinny jeans, you're fat


  • when people describe you as "the big one"...figure it out


  • here's a good one---if you buy your clothing in double digits (ie. 12,22 and XL etc.) chances are you're a big chick

Don't get me wrong, I am big, proud and loud so don't think I'm hating on others. But it irks me when I don't see people representing. Isn't it better to think your fat (not like how those with eating disorders do but if you are truly overweight) and have someone say your not then to sit there and think that your average and have someone brutally correct you? I'm just saying, if you had to chose between the two scenarios!


Anyway, if you got extra body, thank God and shake it but don't break it trynna squeeze into clothes you know don't fit you! ha

FYI, mission "I gotta be a slim 160 again" is well underway, dropping 14lbs so far bring me to within 20lbs of my goal. Target date varies but let's say by July I'll be finished phase one!
