A Big Realization

Are we all really "pretty people"?

So today I had a very big "ah-ha" moment. My friend H and I were sitting watching New Girl (very funny show, you should watch) and she came across a photo that surprised us both. I think her statement was the thing that made me think the most. It went something like this : "Damnnn that explains a whole lot. Especially why they can be hateful." And after picking myself up off the floor, I looked at her with my world renowned "Peyton face" (the ultimate of all judgement faces) and she went on to explain that the person was so hateful because they have not always been the best looking person, but we are the best because we have always been pretty. Again she got the "Peyton face". She proceeded to give me the "batch please" face and to tell me weight does not have anything to do with being pretty. And while I still think she is crazy, I can agree.

While we all know I am the queen of Fatdom, I have always found small things about me pretty. And I can say no one has said I am ugly and fat (at least they haven't anymore...jokes). But she is right, weight has nothing to do with bring pretty. Weight can add pounds but not diminish your naturally pretty features. So embrace the fat and come join me in Fatdom! 

Also updates on my life recently (sorry I have been having the time of my life! Again jokes! I just got too lazy to write):

1. Went and saw the Conjuring with a good friend. Our deal was that if I went, he had to stay with me until I eventually fell asleep and save me from any demons trying to get me to kill a child. SCARIEST MOVIE OF MY LIFE! I literally watched it through my hands and his arm. It was awful. But I can cross it off my must watch list. 

2. I have come to the realization that I will most likely spend my life as the crazy single friend. I am just really good at being single (and yes I do mean that. Have yet to have a real relationship. I'm 21 years old. It's depressing) but all my friends kids will love their crazy Aunt Pey. 

3. If, and a big IF (refer to number 2) I do ever find my King to help me rule Fatdom ( he doesn't have to be fat, but has to agree to be my consort), he needs to live in a nice house, near a lake or large body of water, and have access to a speed boat. If I could I would spend my entire life on a boat. I rediscovered my love of boats when I went to Nashville to visit my uncle.

4. A good coat of spray paint will make any piece of furniture look loads better! With my best friend H and her BF F and their lovely dog China moving in with me and my roommate E, we decided to spray paint some old furniture to make it match some of the stuff we already have. And let me tell you, it made it look like we paid $1000 for it (okay more realistically like $25, but you get the idea). So be on the lookout for pictures of our awesome craftiness! 

5. Doing a 30 day squat challenge from Pinterest is not a good idea. Repeat NOT A GOOD IDEA! H and I decided to try it out. The first day was 30 squats. Umm let me just say that big girls are not meant to move like that repeatedly. Around squat number 10, we were both kind of feeling the burn. By 25 I felt like I was dying. After we completed the 30, our legs felt like jelly. It was bad. I know I am out of shape, but damn. So needless to say, I will not be completing this challenge. 

So just remember, being Big doesn't not diminish your amount of beauty. In fact it is probably one of the many small things that people love about you! 

Carry On,

The Big Girl
