This week's topic is to discuss something you always romanticize. I will admit something to you all, I usually don't read the other posts until AFTER I post mine. I cheated this week. Now, I think my post might not really answer the question, but here we go:
I romanticize being thin. I have never ever been thin. Never ever. There were times in my life that I was less fat than I am now, but I was never thin. I have visions of being able to tuck my t-shirt into my jeans and wear a wide belt and have that actually look ok. No muffin top.
The thin (and by extension pretty) girls seem to have it all. Life is just handed to them on a silver platter. The fat (and by extension ugly) girls have to work so much harder for everything. Thin girls find boyfriends, husbands, jobs, everything much more easily than fat girls.
I remember hearing, always go home with a fat chick at the end of the night, they are so grateful that they try harder in bed. See, fat girls have to work harder.
How many men say, I want to date a fat girl? Not many. Given the choice, most men choose the thinnest woman that they can. You don't see rich powerful men with fat girls do you?
Given the choice between two closely qualified job candidates, the thin girl will always get the job over the fat girl. Even if the thin girl is slightly less qualified than the fat one. It makes it just that much harder.
When I was a little girl, my mother told me thin girls can wear anything. They can go to K-mart and pick up an outfit and look cute. Fat girls have to make sure that what they pick looks ok, and often have to spend more money to look just ok.
I am sure that this isn't really the case. When I was in college I asked a bunch of my thin friends what it was like to be able to wear anything. To a person they told me that they couldn't. That some things didn't look right on them.
Many of my skinny friends are divorced, unemployed or struggling with a myriad of problems, similar to or worse than mine. But it sure seems like it would be easier to be thin.

Very interesting. Never knew you felt that way. At least you don't live in Hollywood, where the pressure is to be thin all the time. And I'm glad you have people around who love you just the way you are.
