Do birds have fat friends tooo?

That was my attempt at a clever title for this post.

but good news for all you die-hard readers and commenters!! ( well maybe my future readers and commenters, because as of right now i have 2 comments)

anyways, just like all your skinny friends, Your Fat Friend now has Twitter and is tweeting up a storm. So if any of you have twitter feel free to follow me! I like to think my tweets are pretty funny so let me know what you think!

BTW- yourfatfriend was already taken on twitter so you'll have to pardon my username being thefatfriend. either way i think people will get the point!

So now you guys can be with me all day long!! :)

Sincerely, Your Fat Friend

Acceptance Advocate

Today, while procrastinating studying for my midterm worth 30% of my grade I came across a fellow blogger. I was intrigued by here determination and her powerful voice supporting self acceptance, no matter what size you are. Some of the self-portraits she has taken of herself are stunning. It motivated me to write today because i too strive for self acceptance, even though it seems pretty difficult to come across.

I envy Lisa for putting herself out there and taking beautiful and tasteful pictures of her imperfect body. I wish  had the courage to do that myself. Maybe it will come with time and as I begin to move out of my teenage thought patterns I will begin to understand that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

Lisa, thank you for your blog as I can see it is an inspiration to hundereds of women. And good luck with your public speaking, I'm sure you'll do great!

Sincerely,
Your Fat Friend.

Ps. Here is the link to Lisa's Blog, take a look and tell me what you think?

Welcome Friends

So heres the deal, this isn't going to be some fancy blog. This is my life and you have now become a part of it. Think of me as your friend, Your Fat Friend. Im the girl who is there for you when the guy of your dreams breaks your heart or when you need help getting a date with the hot girl from work. Yes thats me, always the brides maid never the bride.

I have been told countless times how good a friend I am and how I give such good advice. well if I'm the love guru why am I always the single one? Well I'm fat. I don't mean fat in a derogatory way, more like as a description. I am not ugly, I have a beautiful face, just not the ideal body to match. I dreamed of being a plus sized model (I'm 180 pounds 5'8) but where should I even begin? Even then I still wouldn't be like the normal models. I'd be the skinny models best friend because I make them look good.

Sometimes I feel like thats the only reason my girlfriends keep me around. They look 20 pounds thinner standing next to me. Not that I don't love my girls, but for once it would be nice to be the girl guys look at!

Anyways, I'm still unsure of exactly what this blog will be about. All I do know is that it has been on my bucket list for quite some time! So send me your questions and comments and I will reply. I'm a bit of a dating expert, only cause I've helped about 60 girlfriends through it. So ask away, I'm sure i could help in some way.

I wont get into my super dramatic crazy desperate-housewives-like life and childhood, Im sure we will get to know each other shortly anyways.

Thats what I'm here for.
Sincerely,

Your Fat Friend
