Ask a fat girl

[BrokenQuill92]

Probably Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. For all the people that complaining about "Emo Harry" it has a real grip on pain, loss, and trauma. And while I didn't go through that exact traumatic event it really spoke to when thinking about my own issues.

Good choice. Which spurs on another question...do you wish that the author had paired Harry together with Hermione?

Absolutely not! I am a Canon shipper! Except for maybe Harry and Luna or Harry Ron and Hermione. Harry/Hermione and Harry/Ron is weird, but somehow they make sense in a triad.

What qualifies as being "fat"? Do you want to lose weight, or are you happy with your body?

(As a formerly-fat girl, I mean no offense by these questions, so I apologize if they sound that way. Just asking for intellectual curiosity, as someone who always has and still does struggle with body image.)

Basically if can use your arms as wings or you go into a boutique and your size is not there or kept in the back then you're probably apart of the Chub Club.
If I could lose weight but keep my boobies the world would be a very happy place.

Hahaha, I love your description. That definitely used to be me!

If I discover the secret to weight loss without boobie loss, I will share it with you. I can tell you would use that power for the forces of good.

The first time I looked at this thread I thought:  This is the forum equivalent of "does this dress make my ass look fat?"

No way I was going to answer.  My momma didn't raise no stupid puppies.

Minnie do really think I'd get mad at honest questions?

As a man who was made the prey of many a trapped question I was initially put into "flight mode" by the topic as well.

Do people bring up your weight often? If they do how do you respond to it?

I only ask because people around my neck of the woods are rude as fuck about that kind of thing.

It's usually about once a week. Falling under the "you shouldn't be wearing that." Or the great disguised put down "what about your health?!"

No one kill me............... I don't think "what about your health?" Is necessarily a put down. It could be one. People who care about you are probably honestly concerned about your health. Being overweight doesn't mean you're not gorgeous, and it isn't a negative reflexion of who you are or your character. It's not morally wrong or disgusting. It has no bearing on how awesome you are. It doesn't mean you aren't sexy.

But let's not pretend that it isn't a health risk. When I ask about someone's health it's always because I'm genuinely concerned.

What do you consider fat? What weight or any other criteria?

The problem is the "what about your health?!" usually comes from people who don't know much about me and usually assume things like my blindness are from diabetes. To which I say; um no. If people close to me are worrying about my health it's usually not weight related, if it is its them worrying about water weight from the hydrocephalus.
