Don't Cry for Me, Interwebz!

Just a quick clarification for those who are not used to seeing fat acceptance in the world.

This is not a blog to make people feel sorry for me. It is not a "poor me, feel sorry for me because I'm fat and people are mean to me" blog.

I will be sharing lots of horror stories. But that is not for sympathy, it's for the following purposes.

  1. To share my stories so that other fatties don't feel so alone.
  2. To raise awareness of just how deeply ingrained fat phobia is in our culture.
  3. To draw attention to just how hurtful, nasty and insensitive some people can be, in the hope that it will make others think again before making comments about people's weight.

I just wanted to clarify that I don't feel sorry for myself, and the stories that I'm sharing here on this blog are not for sympathy or pity, they're for spreading a very firm message.

Stay fabulous!
