I'm going to throw my in here. (You expected something different?)
I am fat. It is not the result of a glandular disorder. I have always been heavy-set, though occasionally not fat. The best adult weight I've ever had was 155 pounds on a 5'9" frame when I was 18-19.
Pregnancy added 20 pounds to that. Since then, I have been 390 pounds. I'm down now to 258.
Yep, I'm fat. I've been REALLY fat. I know the difference. And I've learned to laugh at it, I've learned to enjoy myself despite the weight, and slowly, steadily, I'm taking the weight off. It didn't get there overnight, and it sure the hell isn't coming off overnight.
When someone says , "I don't like fat chicks," that's cool with me. To each his own. When that person, (or someone else), tacks on an insult, that bothers me. To me, that's just as stupid as insulting another race - look past it and find out that there's a real person inside, with real feelings, real intelligence, and a real capacity to love. Just like there is with just about everyone else.
Personally, I don't give a fuck about how big or small you are. I would rather wait and see what kind of person you are before I decide whether or not I like you.
I admit I don't have the gumption that Mina has, (I am NOT content...at least not nude content), but I have the self respect to know that I am NOT how much I weigh. I am who I am because of my experiences. There's so much more to me than weight.
Now if I could find a nifty clothing store that has nice fetish stuff in my size relatively cheap, I'd be the happiest bitch on the planet.
Good morning, everyone.

Very good post. Made alot of sense. I was skeptic abnout doing what I do now. Over 2 years ago and about 75 lbs thinner I said to my husband who gave me the idea "Who would want to look at me?" Because of how beauty is portrayed to society. But I was totally shocked when the fanmail poured in, money tons of gifts and lots of postive stuff. I've grown to love what I do and will continue to do so to please all the F/A's fans etc. Bottom line dont like it at dont look at it and and an old saying my mom used to tell me "Don't have anything nice to say DON'T say it at fucking all" You seem like a great person Tala.Very cool. Someone I wouldnt mind getting to know.
