You ever look around a table and realize you are different from everyone else in some obvious way? You realize the chairs hurt your ass and the waitress offers you, specifically, dessert. Do people go out of their way to tell you how beautiful you are...despite your size? Do your friends only ask to borrow your shoes?
You are probably the fat friend.
There is nothing wrong with being the fat friend. I'm the fat friend! I'm cute, I'm funny, I have great stories, I'm great at makeup, I'm artistic and I happen to be fat.
My friends really don't make a big deal about this fact. They know my story. They know my weight is a very touchy point for me. However, it's a part of who I am, part of my day to day. It makes a difference to where I go, what I wear, how comfortable I'm going to be.
Are there stairs? How many? I don't want to be the one winded bitch when we get to our destination. How is the seating? Am I going to feel like the chairs were designed for children? Will my ass be numb before the drinks arrive?
It can be exhausting hearing about other friends struggle with self image and weight, when you see them as skinny and gorgeous. Being insecure and struggling with yourself image seems to be given for the us. But that's what I've learned as the fat friend, everyone has insecurities behind their smile. We all have our struggles. We are not alone, even when you're the fat friend.
