Fat Girl Musings: I don't want to be fat anymore?

Hey everyone! So I have been thinking about writing this for a couple of weeks now and I wasn't really sure where to start. Here is goes: I don't want to be fat anymore. There I said it. As a fat woman, a body positive believer and supporter I feel like a traitor. I have always been fat; since I was nine I've known my body was different. I've always been different and have for the most part accepted that. I just never understood why no one else did. When I was 12 I had the biggest crush on a boy named Josh. We bowled on the same league and I wanted to kiss him. I asked his friend if he would ask Josh if he liked me. He told me Josh said no because I was "kinda fat". I was devastated, I cried for days and wanted to never bowl again. I remember this day like it was yesterday, because it happens every time I show interest in a guy. From the sweet guy at the Taco place to the smoldering guy at the local big box store. I'm kinda fat and they are just no...

It's been a Hot Minute

Hello! Well how the hell are ya'll? It's been a hot gosh darn minute since I've been able to blog and oh man have I missed it! So much has happened and it's all got me topsy turvy! Where to start? Picture found on Pinterest How about with the biggest change. As you may or may not know I am a professional dog groomer, I've been grooming since 2004 from my home. Back in November I was having a hard time with my job, my relationships and just life in general. So before my birthday I told myself to make a choice. I either quit grooming, get a 'real' job, take the money I've been saving, and move to another state; or open my own, larger shop downtown that I've been dreaming about for the past 10 years. After a bottle of wine, a good nights sleep in a haunted house and a phone call later I moved my shop downtown. It is one of the scariest things I have ever done yet one of things I've always wanted to do. I've only been open sin...

Fat Girl Musings - Fat Shaming in romcoms/sitcoms.

**Just a small caveat** I in no way mean to exclude other genders and sexuality's by using hetero examples and she/her he/him. Hey everyone! I am feeling very Carrie Bradshaw right now sitting on my bed with my laptop on my...can you guess? Lap! Also, because I've been binge watching Sex and The City for the past few days. I watched the SaTC movies last weekend and thought why not start the series all over again!? Fun! But... As a plus size woman I feel very......excluded when watching shows like this. Or Friends, The New Girl, and Baby Daddy. They, save for SaTC, have a main player who used to be fat. Jokes are made at their former fatness and then praised for being 'hot' in their new body. I think there is one fat joke/remark made every three episode of Sex and The City., from lines like "Fatties, need not apply" to "I wonder how fat she got?". I used to hate myself after watching this show. I would feel like utter shit because if ...

My New Hair!

Image
Hey everyone! So I cut all of may hair off. I didn't intend to it just sort of happened; I really like it though. I have always been one of those people who wants really long mermaid hair or a short pixie cut. I love long hair and had quite long hair for a while, I've even had short hair but nothing ever this drastic. It's an amazing thing to adjust to. I still have moments of habit where I reach up to take my hair down as it always feels like I have it pulled up. but without the head aches and soreness. Short hair Pros: Easy to wash, dry and style. Very little 'shedding'. Wake up and go. No soreness from pony tails. Cute hats! Short hair cons: Limited on styles My head is colder. Maintaining the cut. (my hair grows fast) No sassy buns, hair flips or ear tucks. Its been an adjustment but one I'm really happy with. How about y'all? Ever wanted to changed your hair in a drastic way? Let me know. Ta for now, Kayla
