You Have Such a Pretty Face

To brighten your mood:

So again, while reading the Jen Lancaster book "Such a Pretty Fat", I came across a part where she was talking to her girlfriend about how people tell fat people that they have such a pretty face as if it were a compliment to cover up the fact that they are round and plump and delightful! 

She notes:

"The best part is how people say it like like maybe you didn't notice you had great cheekbones and a huge ass.  Or flawless skin and a handful of back fat.  I wonder if people think weight is like a piece of spinach caught in  our teeth and we wouldn't have known about if they hadn't been kind enough to inform us."

I just thought this was too funny not to share, and oh so true.  

To the skinnies of the world: 

We are aware that we have a huge ass, a handful (or two) of back fat, and that our weight is an issue.  

We either: 
a. don't care to address it
b. are comfortable in our own skin
c. use food for comfort 
d. are trying to do something about it
e. all of the above
