How to Be A Fat Bitch: Lesson One

Hey kitties! 

I've been inspired by the lovely Rachele over at The Nearsighted Owl to get into blogging* again. She's started a course in How to Be A Fat Bitch, and I thought I'd give it a go.

I'm gonna get a bit personal with y'all here for a second: All my life, I've struggled with being larger than all my friends, having trouble buying clothes that were flattering, and even shoes that fit (I'm a size 12 in women's, which is just damn cruel). I've done Weight Watchers at least three times, and lost a good amount of weight each time but was never able to stick with it. And frankly, I'm tired of trying. Of course I'd love to be a bit smaller, but I'm starting to realise that it's no fun trying to be something I'm not. I need to learn to love myself the way I am -- otherwise no one else will love me. That's what Rachele has been helping me see ever since I discovered her's and some other lovely blogs a few weeks ago. I want to be a confident, fat & and sassy bitch. A moral sex kitten, if you will.

So: Lesson One of the How to Be A Fat Bitch project is to write down five things I want to do but normally wouldn't. So here are five things that would make me happy (in no particular order):

1. Go thrift shopping and find some (cute!) clothes that actually fit me.
2. Bake that recipe I've been wanting to try forever.
3. Sign up for a yoga class.
4. Wear something a little more tight-fitting than I would normally feel comfortable wearing.
5. Give myself a spa day -- dye my hair, paint my nails, take a LUSH bath -- all while watching Sex and the City like I've been wanting to for the past few weeks.
6. EXTRA BONUS: Start going through my Closet & Other Junk to clear out unused & forgotten crap!! (Hopefully without getting stuck reminiscing... that stuff gets me every time.)

I get extra credit if I actually do some of them! :) So I'll update y'all on my progress throughout the week. If anything I do calls for a picture, I'll post it on instagram and tag it with #fatbitchecourse and #nearsightedowl.

Thanks for reading, kitties! I'm super excited about this project :)
