So I just read Tina Fey's book Bossypants. It is hilarious. I just thought I would share some of this little tid bit she wrote about what she remembered about being a little bit fat. (It made me laugh and not feel so bad about being a little bit chunky myself)
"For a brief time at the end of that last century I was overweight. This is what I remember about that period:
*My boobs were bigger
*I once left a restaurant in the middle of dessert to get to Krispy Kreme before it closed.
*Even though I only liked McDonalds fries, I believed it was more nutritious to make a meal of it and have two cheeseburgers as well.
*I could not run a mile
*I wore oversized mens overalls that I loved.
*On at least three occasions, I vomited on Christmas Eve from mixing chocolate, peel and eat shrimp, summer sausage, and cheese. No alcohol was involved.
*As a size 12 I took pride in the idea that I was "real woman" sized. Size 12 was the national average I would boast.
*Once while ironing in my underwear, I grazed my protruding belly with the hot iron.
We should leave people alone about their weight. Being chubby for a while (provided you don't give yourself diabetes) is a natural phase of life and nothing to be ashamed of. Like puberty or slowly turning republican."
Anyhow, that made me laugh and just thought I would share. I shall be gone the next week.
