badseed1980Okay, since obviously people were unhappy with my last post, I wanted to make a few things clear:
1. I do not think that being heavy makes you unattractive.
2. I do not think that I am unattractive, nor is any other woman strictly because of what she weighs.
3. I know that I am heavy, but enjoy the curves of my body.
4. I was happy to receive the compliment that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
book_of_pain gave me at first, and am still happy to be found attractive.
5. What upset me about the compliment is the fact that it seemed I was being shoved into a label as the compliment was given. It's a label I've struggled all my life to shed, though not necessarily by shedding pounds. More like shedding the attitude that I'm fat and replacing it with the attitude that I'm a beautiful, voluptuous woman. Trying to get rid of the memories of elementary school teasing and replace them with contentment in my body.
6. My main problem is the use of the word "fat" to describe women who have probably been hearing the word in a negative context all their lives, and the portraying of that body type by certain forums as something that is attractive only to a small minority that has a fetish for it.
And I think that's all I have to say about that. I'm blocking comments because I don't want to be reprimanded for bitching. Bitch about me behind my back, if you like. Thank you and good night.
