The Cheerful Chubby Chick

Truely Happy or Defense Mechanism

from JoeUser Forums
I guess the saying is true...Fat girls have the best personalities. That would definately be me. I am always the one who makes people laugh or the one they turn to when the need a shoulder to cry on. I hear comments all the time about how funny, nice, and easy-going I am. Growing up it was always, "Melissa is the brains and Eryn(my younger and thinner sister) is the beauty." I suppose that was meant to be a compliment. Hell I'd rather never get another compliment in my life sometimes. I never hear, "Wow that outfit looks amazing on you" or "Looking good sweet momma" Just kidding on the last one. I'm always told I have a pretty face. Yeah well there is a lot more of me below my neck. Too much I guess for a sincere comment on my looks. So I guess the comic part of me is a cloak for the sad fat girl part of me. We are usually the girl who is a friend to many guys and very rarely the girlfriend. We are the ones wandering the plus size areas of the store and looking longingly at the tiny little clothes that our friends are buying. We are the ones who avoid cookouts and other eating events because we know every bite we eat is being assessed by others looking for an excuse for our size. We are the ones who hear size 6 women complaining about how fat they are and want to rip their heads off. We are the ones who crack jokes and smile to hide our pain. We are the cheerful chubby chicks of the world.

I am all for cheerful and chubby but you don't sound truly cheer full.  You sound unhappy with yourself.  I know exactly where you are coming from.  My little sister and I had the same dynamic as you and yours.  I always got the "pretty face" comment too.

There are people who are truly happy being large and that is fine for them.  It doesn't sound fine for you and it certainly isn't for me.  You sound like the kind of person that can go after what you want in life.  By all means do!  I sure am.  I have been losing weight slowly (17lbs in the last 4 months) but along the way I have made true lifestyle changes.  I am liking who I am more and more and enjoying everything I do and everywhere I go.

Guess I am saying, don't settle for cheerful.  Go for truly happy!

Best wishes.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Thanks steve for the kudos, it means a lot! Love ya back. To M-Post. Thanks for the encourage meant. You definately couldn't break me, . To Jill. Thanks also to you for the encouragement. The title of my article was meant to imply that my exterior shows the cheerfulness but on the inside I am surely not. Congrats BTW on the weight loss. I hope to someday be happy with my weight, be it because I have lost enough of it to be happy or that I finally become comfortable in my own skin.
