From the Diary of a Fat Woman: My Story

Mine is poles apart...

Dear Diary,

Hola! I am a beautiful girl. In fact people call me Cute but all I know is how to smile with all my teeth out. I am far off from obsession. It is considered difficult to find proper sized outfits for "Big" woman like me. Little do they know, if God made creatures like me, He definitely made a wardrobe for me to fit in. I am the most charged and frantic person when it comes to showing up in parties, social gatherings and family functions. I am quite sure that the fashion statement I carry is far much in and better than what I see people draped in around me. From a short black dress to proper Indian attire, I have tried all that our designers created basically for slenderized (skinny) people in my disfigured body itself. Moreover my roommate has serious complaints of me having too many accessories, clothes and foot wears which actually makes it difficult to dump them in a 10x12 feet territory we own.
When folks peep onto my extra inches of waist, I simply ignore for I know who am I today and few expressions of mockery cannot put me to a deep drowning depression and make me feel humiliated, unwanted, lovelorn. It is as simple as, "Beauty lies in the eyes of a beholder."  Following the simple words We are the change we seek, recognized the beauty in me. Love became my inspiration and I contemplated what had made me feel miserable about myself for years. How could I expect others to appreciate me unless I learnt to love myself? This one thought changed my perception for life and today this so-called-fat-girl is happy to be who she is and adores her enormous curves, enjoys her gala time and wears everything "she likes."
Let people babble whatever they like, my job was to summon upon the fact that Love yourself till you live kyunki zindagi na milegi dobara...
