Dear Fat Ladies ....

This is not a good size to be, but you chose it.

I just watched a video in which a very obese woman walked around a Target store pointing to the many, many racks of clothing for regular-sized women, as compared to only two for what she called "plus-size" ladies. She ranted at how unfair this is. 

I'd like to say it's not unfair. In fact, she should be glad they stock any elephantine-sized apparel outside of a costume store. Furthermore, I'd tell her we do not need to applaud your size. You got that way through bad habits that are unhealthy and ungodly.  So when you go out shopping for clothes, don't expect a huge selection for people of enormous sizes. If you want more choices, lose some weight.

To all fat ladies, please don't post videos showing us your gross naked stomachs hanging over your gross naked legs. Don't try on different dresses and ask us which one is more flattering. None of them are. You look bad in everything.

And don't call normal-sized women who look perfectly fine "too skinny" just to make yourselves feel better. Being thin is admirable. Being fat is not.

  1. I’ve lost 30 pounds in the last year.

    It feels good to fit in normal-sized jeans.

    That said, more than half the jeans for sale are for larger than when I was my fattest. How do people do it?
