The F*ING Fat Revolution by Olivia O Harris October 6, 2010
I have never heard such a thing as “being happy being fat” like Nomy Lamm suggested in her essay, It’s a big Fat Revolution. People have more of a problem with my weight than I do. I know I’m fat, I’ve been fat all my life. I don’t need you all to tell me so. And why is it so important to tell me this? Is it that you know me and you care about me so much that you have to go out of my way to stop me from “eating myself” to death. Why must I strive to be this size zero, this thin person? Why can’t I live happily in this world as a fat person and why does my fat bother you so much? Why must you giggle, sneer, star, comment, point, judge. My fat revolution is accepting my fat. I would like to be smaller, but not by societies standards. I HAVE been tested for diabetes 3 time and the results came back negative. I have no history of high blood pressure or any other health issues other than the occasional back problems- my bed may be a factor. SKINNY OR SMALLER PEOPLE HAVE JUST AS MUCH OF A CHANCE OF Getting high blood pressure or diabetes but they aren’t harassed as much as fat people. I will like to be more athletic and toned but still compared to the masses “FAT”. FAT IS EMPOWERING ME. I will create a world big enough to fit me. If you don’t like that don’t date me, don’t befriend me, avoid me at all cost, your lost. I do wish to eat healthier, exercise more but not for the gratitude of others, but for the hope of longevity in my life and the energy and strength to live it to its fullest. I am Fucking fat and I am relatively happy. FAT PEOPLE ARE out casted, SHAMED and abused. TOLD TO starve them selves, STOP EATING ALL TOGETHER, Joked and poke fun of. If your skinny you don’t have to eat healthy, you made it! Your naturally BEAUTFUL. BULL CRAP. I WIL lose a little weight, I will eat better to improve performance however I will be damned if Im going to starve to please you, I will be dammed if you think I wont eat that cookie when I want it. Screw you for shamming me into getting diet when I wanted regular. I don’t CARE if I cant find a guy or girl that is accepting of my weight, then I will just be single with lots of cats. I have accepted that fate.
THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF WITH people-
Because I am fat I am suppose to always “ look good” hair and makeup, nice clothes to hide the fact that I am morbidly obese— bite my DD’S. if I want to rock my sweats and a hoodie ( I was called sir once) then ima do it dammit!
Because I am fat I have to accept what ever lover I am offered because I don’t get many opportunities to date and I should be lucky that a guy is actually interested in me— FAT PEOPLE HAVE STANDARDS TOO, if I don’t like you I don’t like you end of story. You are not doing any service to society by dating me, I don’t need you. There are plenty of other fish in the sea that want your sorry ass.
Because I am fat I have to go on a diet- kiss the fanny. Everyone, not just fat people should eat veggies, fruits and have exercise as a part of their daily routine, not just fat people. I hope you fall on your treadmill.
I AM REVLOLTIONARY BECAUSE I EMPOWER THE WORD fat.
Love you all
BIG FUCKING MAMA
