Tired of mainstream image?

I find it.... funny. Not ha-ha funny. More like.... dark funny.
When I was younger (think elementary school through middle school-ish)... it made me -want- to be -fat-. I thought I had it all figured out, you see: I would get reeeeaaaallllly fat, and then I'd move to Alaska or something. Fat would keep me warm, and there'd be less people to shove all this skinnny-skinny-skinnnnnnyyyyyy nonsense in my face.
(I laugh at my younger self. What was I thinking?).
High-school-ish; typical self hatred. I'm fat, I'm ugly, oh-woe-is-me.

Now.... I'm mostly indifferent towards my weight. I just don't care most days.

I think... fat looks good on some people, and not on others.... just like... well, anything else.

I agree....I really admire people who are fat and confident and seem comfortable in their own skin...and/or have lots of character...that is cooler than any boring cookie-cutter stick figure any day...But it always seems to apply to other people..I find it hard to get it to apply to myself...

Hmm.
There was always this one thing I was thinking, in high school (and still find myself thinking it from time to time); whenever people starting bullying "because" the fat.
It was:
"Yeah, I'm fat. But you know what? You are so skinny. You are like a.... a pencil. If I really wanted to, I could probably take you over my knee, and snap you in two.".
And then they would wonder why I started snickering, and/or making funny faces...

That kind of thought never crossed my mind..I am also short...

In Jr. High, my best friend was also slightly overweight...These skater guys would walk behind us singing "Fat Bottomed Girls"
