What does being a 'single fat chick' mean to me?
First of all, being single is not a bad thing, especially for me. I enjoy my freedom and don't feel like I need to please others. I guess in my past I've had some severe needy issues, but I think I'm finally over that. Being single isn't the worst thing that could happen to me, actually far from it. I've been diagnosed with Bipolar Type 1 with severe hallucinations. So for me, being single is giving me time to focus on myself rather than others. And I need that time for me to enjoy life as most of the time I was rather overly-worried or overly-conscious of others behaviors and needs.
I've been fat all of my life. My whole family is fat, so it isn't so much of an over-eating problem as it is genetics. Yes I love to eat. Who doesn't? But for me, being fat has its advantages. I don't feel I have to date just because it's what people do. And there isn't this urge to lose 5 pounds just to look better. I value personality and character more than anything in any kind of relationship I have, whether it be a friend or lover.
I don't have people looking at me all the time and being harassed by men just because of my looks. I'm very happy about that. Of course I do get looks of bewilderment or 'eww' but that doesn't bother me, because I am of stable mind. I feel that if someone judges me based on my looks, then they certainly are not the people I want to have in my life.
I am quality in every way, shape and form. I feel good about myself because I know I have a beaming personality and loving character.
