Diary of a Fat Girl: My Story
Editor’s Note: Welcome to our newest feature, “Diary of a Fat Girl”! It’s a weekly column (running every Thursday) from our awesome team member Jen, who will explore issues and ideas related to all things plus-sized! Jen would love to hear your feedback and comments, so don’t hesitate to share your thoughts!
The main editors here at Lovelyish have very graciously offered me a chance to talk about everything plus size – from clothing to body politics to dating – as a feature here every Thursday. Since this is my first post on the subject, I figured I’d tell you a little about my own relationship with my body.
I’m fat. Based on the few posts I’ve made here so far, you’re probably aware that I make no bones about this. Whether I wear something that society tells me is “flattering” to my shape, or something that hugs my skin and exposes every curve, I’m still fat; I have been for as long as I can remember. This is not to say that I have always been content in this body.
