Thoughts on fat acceptance

Hi folks,

Apologies for the long wait since my last post. I've been busy with school and other personal issues, but I'm back for more thoughts on BBWness. Here is a positive article that deals with what's called "fat acceptance." It's a largely online movement gaining a lot of popularity, and just last month ABC News featured an article about it. Here's one snippet from the article:

Monique van den Berg, creator of the Big Fat Deal blog, weighs 230 pounds and said she blogs to help people understand they can be beautiful at any size and to debunk some of what she called the common stereotypes about overweight people.
"People think all fat people do is sit around and eat ice cream, and that we haven't tried to do anything [to lose weight]," said 32-year-old van den Berg, who blogs from Berkeley, Calif. "I'm blogging to hopefully break some of those stereotypes."

Now we have to understand that lots of people don't like seeing this sort of message out there. They have a strong interest in seeing heavier ladies feel bad about themselves. These folks are the ones I call "haters."

There's a lot of resistance from haters, no doubt. You can see that in the article I provided the link for. Some of the comments attached to the article are just plain mean and nasty. People really like having someone to look down on.

Well, guess what? We just have to ignore them. There are too many of them and they are just a negative force that generates a lot of negative energy and bad karma. We just keep our heads up, stay positive, and keep on loving the BBW in our life - or the BBW-loving man in our life.

Are BBWs hot? Yes! Are BBWs sexy? Absolutely! Hell yes! But if you have trouble believing that, click here to see what millions of American guys are wild about. Mmmm, that looks like paradise to me!!

Well, that's all for now. Be sure to have a lovely BBW day.
