“胖妞”啟示錄
卷首語
I’m Fat. I wasn’t always fat （which obviously implies that I was once physically fit）. I don’t plan on being fat forever. And while packing on the pounds is not something I would recommend to others， it’s not something to be feared either.
I was a skinny little runt of a kid growing up. I was always the smallest on my sports teams， both in height and girth. My body started to fill out around my senior year of high school. But while the other student athletes were hitting the gym （and their dietary supplements）， I shied away from unnecessary exertion and instead turned to writing and music.
By my sophomore year at college， I’d gained “the freshman fifteen” and then some. My mom， noticing my plumpness on one of her visits， gave me an Ab Roller for my birthday （thx mom）. Since then， my weight and shape have fluctuated from “ripped with a six-pack” to “round with a keg.”But I must say that my level of happiness has been relatively unaffected by how fat I’ve been over the years， seeing as how I’m presently both fat and happy， though not happy to be fat.
Why I Never Weigh Myself Anymore follows a young girl who grew up wanting to gain weight， and reluctantly ends up getting her wish. I Was A Fat Kid—And I Finally Understand Why shows how growing up overweight can affect someone’s entire outlook on life. And When Your Mother Says She’s Fat is a letter that reads as the confession of a daughter’s past misconceptions.
