Time to update the weight loss effort, today will be bridget jones style, recapping yesterdays statssept 5 2007
diet coke units: 2 bottles from a 6 pack
weight: none of your business
exercise: spiritual went to institute class
weight watchers daily goals: was 2 points under the daily allotment. ah yeah
to add to the wonderment that is my blog i would like to start another tradition, which i will call "the weekly fat girl moment". lets kick it off. saturday i went with some friends up to Swiss days in midway, ut. this was a huge arts and crafts festival that also featured yodeling and deep-fried scones covered in honey. as we strolled(post scone eating) up and down the booths of frilly arts and crafts that all looked like on massive enrichment night activity i saw a costume booth. i thought, hey this could be fun, halloween is around the corner. the lady working the booth was dressed like snow white. so i approached her and asked "do you have plus size princess dresses?" to which she looked and me and made a face i couldnt understand and was kinda rude as she replied "No." and then her co-worker looked at me and said in an apologetic tone "we have plus size poodle skirts". wow, i laughed out loud. it was funny, and i said "i guess plus size girls dont get to be princesses" to which neither replied. but i can fit into a skirt that is named after a dog. it was all very comical, and yet kinda sad, i cant be a princess. eh, its ok, the only one of those princesses that has an independent thought is belle and mulan who is my favorite got shafted on the whole try outs for the varsity disney princess team. those princesses probably all wear enchanted and magical push up bras anyway.

I had to think about it before I commented.
I want to first start with conformity. Is it really conforming to want to be skinny? Or is it just wanting to be skinny? Or is it just wanting to be healthier? I don't know. And while I think it should be true that there are people out there who don't care how we look...I have yet to encounter them. I recently had a conversation with a friend and I told her that I always thought that an ex would have loved me more if I would have been skinnier. She told me how ridiculous I sounded. And I think she's right. Love doesn't come as a result of being skinny. But attraction does.
I struggle with the same thoughts, feelings, food addictions that you do. And I've been preforming some form of this experiment my whole life as I've struggled with my weight. (or at least since I was 12) So although I'm not sure that your concept is healthy (at least emotionally and psychologically) it's one that I share. And as long as you loose the weight in a healthy way...then well...what's the harm? Except to your self concept...and being skinnier can't hurt that can it?
As for the plus size princess dress v poodle skirt...of course fat girls can be princesses! they just have to make their own dresses.
In fact, they can even be Wendy from Peter Pan for 3 Halloweens in a row with NO ONE guessing who they're supposed to be. The next year I was Frodo (don't judge), and then the year after that I was finally the best kind of princess ever: a Bollywood princess! Now THAT's a costume that is one size fits all (minus the skimpy undershirt).
Oh, and another thing: ball gowns are not exactly responsible winter wear. Someone should do a public service announcement.
dude i know, once i looked at this pic with real intent, i realized what in the H are those wimpy girls doing in the middle of the frozen tundra in taffita and chiffon? it hurts to even imagine the weather damage done to the clutches and their hair.
Historically, Disney has not been accepting of different types of people. In fact, the first black disney princess is coming out this year. see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17524865/
Plus sized may be next!
