The BIG FAT TRUTH - About FAT

FAT! She's so FAT! Look at HOW FAT that one is!
FAT! One of the biggest prejudices in the world. IF you have NEVER been FAT you have NO IDEA what it's like.
You have NO IDEA about how people sit in judgement of you and the raised eyebrows and the snickers behind your back... that sometimes hit you in the face.
Why am I writing about this today? Because of something that I came across on the internet that made me raise my eyebrows! Yes! I can STILL raise my eyebrows no BOTOX for this girl old lady.
Anyway- I have always loved the colors and simple fashion created by Lily Pulitzer.
When I was young and lived in Florida Lily Pulitzer's influence was everywhere on the East Side of the Intercoastal in Palm Beach and she dressed the likes of Jackie Kennedy.

image After her death, her family decided to make her clothes AFFORDABLE and market them through Target. And- Horror of Horrors- She is selling PLUS SIZES!

image You can just bet the Palm Beach Battalion in up in arms! Lily CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT her clothes sold to PLUS SIZE people ~or would she~?
One of her STAFF MEMBERS didn't think so. She had this posted in her cubicle.

(down at the bottom right it says YOU SHOULD PROBABLY JUST KILL YOURSELF) Do you suppose she was a bully in school? One of the people that made fun of anyone that didn't fit her idea of perfect?
SHE DREW THIS ONE , too!

Hmmmm...how many PLUS SIZE SALES does it take to keep someone like that employed and sitting in that cubicle?
Just wondering.
I have been up and down and everywhere in between over my lifetime. Once when I was TEN POUNDS over the LOW WEIGHT on a chart a Florida Doctor tried to give me DIET PILLS because "while ten pounds doesn't look bad at 25 it will make you look FAT at 35! Seriously? A DOCTOR?!!!
Anyway! I could show HIM what FAT at 35 looked like--but I don't want to go back there!
Now, before you get all riled up, ladies, just know that I love people NO MATTER THEIR SIZE. I don't think someone's weight defines them. We are all just on a life journey and we are all a little different and I think we are supposed to love and accept each other just as we are. It is not our job to take someone else's inventory.
FAT? Actually I kinda love FAT. because I do love a FAT BABY! Yes.I.Do! And that BABY FAT will be gone way too soon!

Next time I talk about FAT I will tell you my SWEET CHEEKS STORY- But that's enough FAT TALK for TODAY! although FAT CHANCE ANYONE IS GONNA SHUT ME UP, HUH?
