Secret Confessions

If you have ever eaten your child's Halloween candy while they were at school, taken the last bit of ice cream out of the freezer and blamed it on your one year old, eaten a full meal in the car on your way home and then a full meal with your family around the dinner table, made homemade rice krispies for your child's classroom (with great intentions...and then kept nibbling, resulting in cutting them into tiny pieces so you could still send 30!).....post your own humiliating confession and move on. By the way....candy bars melted and smashed in an old purse you forgot you had tastes pretty good if you freeze them first!

Love!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I hate physical affection in public. Maybe I am afraid that people are wondering how on earth anyone could be attracted to a "fat girl"...or maybe I am afraid that someone's hand on my back will draw more attention to the ridges and ripples along my bra line. Who knows? My most embarrassing moment is when my boyfriend, which is now my husband, wanted to surprise me with a song. Being sung to is embarrassing enough, but he also took the time to gather his family and me around the dinner table. He proceeded to sing me a love song and then when the song was over, reached in his pocket and pulled out a necklace. Anyone would be thrilled to recieve such an act of devotion and love, but not me. I already knew what was next. He wanted to lovingly put the necklace around my neck, just like in a movie, and declare his undying love. His family gathered to watch, he put the necklace around me. My heart dropped and my face became flush.....there was no hiding. The link and the clasp were no where near each other. It wouldn't even fit enough to be a choker.

Hairspray was inspiring....for a moment

I loved the movie hairspray, where the fat girl finally gets the cute guy and can dance all over the stage and look somewhat attractive....but honestly....the feeling of "I am okay with my weight" only lasted about an hour.

Online store only

My friend and I had a great idea that we would open a plus size store called "Cankles and Jowls". We invisioned the fashionable clothing we could design and the special line of necklaces and anklets that would come in super-size, instead of the usual necklaces that look like chokers and buying necklaces to put around our ankles. Eventually reality hit, and we realized what fat lady would actually be caught dead in a store called "Cankles and Jowls"? It is the same reason I refuse to eat at the local restaurant called "Chubby's"! Like I really want a neon sign pointing right at me while I eat. So someday....we will open an online store and orders will be sent discretely to fat women all over the world.
