"Don't forget fat people, they can't stop eating!" - Marge Simpson, The Simpsons
The above statement is so incredibly NOT true. Just because I am fat does NOT mean I eat all the time. In fact I eat very, very little. My niece, who is all of 100 pounds, eats like a hog. She starts out her day with a huge breakfast. Then at school gets 3 huge breakfast burritos. At lunch she'll eat two cheeseburgers. And so on and so on. She eats tons. She doesn't stop eating.
99.9% of the time I'm not even the least bit hungry.
Breakfast for me is a 2 tablespoons of plain vanilla yogurt with this ceral called Heart To Heart - now a full serving of HTH is 3/4ths of a cup. I don't even eat 1/4th. HTH is full of stuff that's good for the human heart.
Lunch, when I do have it, which is rare as I'm usually never hungry, is a salad consiting of romaine letuce, two tablespoons of low fat bleu cheese dressing (the only kind I'll eat), two tablespoons of non-fat cottage cheese, and some crutons.
Supper is whatever my mother makes. (Yes, I still live at home. So what?) Which 99.9% of the time healthy food as we're all on diets here.
I'm also not lazy. I work out for 1 1/2-2 hours at the gym four days a week. I also work hard 4 days a week at a library where I put away books for four hours. It's very physical work. Lots of bending, stretching, kneeling, standing, walking - I push carts that sometimes can weigh over 200 pounds. Have you seen the size of art history books? One of those things can weigh 20 to 30 pounds! Sometimes even more. Yet no matter how much I excercise I don't lose a bit of weight. I haven't been able to since my doctor put me on Phen-Fen.
So just because I'm fat doesn't mean I pork out all day. Yes, sometimes I eat too much - when I'm seriously, seriously bored, extremely lonely, or just depressed - and most of the time when I have those feeling I avoid eating all together. But 99.9% of the time I don't. I'm not a big old piggy eating everything in sight. I'm not a Homer Simpson. So kindly do not stereotype me or other fat people. It's not right when you do it to people of different ethnic groups or religions or sexual orintations. It's not right to do it to me just because of something I cannot control.
Now I bet you're thinking, "Why the H*** did she write that and put in on the web?" Well, because I'm sick and tired of being stereotyped and deserve a chance and forum to defend myself. So I have. Until you've been a victim of bigotry you cannot understand. I hate it. I'm sick and tired of people making fun of me behind my back, not knowing that my weight isn't something I can control. Phen-Fen messes with your metabolism, people. It doesn't just do heart damage, it damages your metabolism, and even your mind. I never suffered from depression before Phen-Fen. I never get asked out on dates. I never get Valentines. You know my dream? To have a secret admirer. I guess that's why I'm so - obsessed - with The Phantom Of The Opera. I relate to Erik. I understand what it's like to be rejected on the basis of looks alone. And while I might cringe at first at his face I know I could see past it and love him because I understand what it's like to cry yourself to sleep because you feel like no one loves you just because of how you look. I just want to be loved - the romantic way. But no one sees me as lovable.
If you're wondering what I look like, go to Fantasy In Wax - there's up to date pictures of me there. Also I'm a member of the site, "Hot Or Not" - the link to my picture where you can rate me will be at the VERY BOTTOM of this page. Past the links to even the personality tests. My rating is rather low, only proving my point - people just don't like fat people, especially fat women. It sucks, but it's true.

You're the Phantom. Mysterious and masked. You're very talented but have a temper and can be very obessive sometimes.
Which Phantom Of The Opera Character are you?
I'm
a Gryffindor!
You're honest, good-hearted and always with a good sence for right and wrong. Your friends
have your full support and love you for being who you are. You don't want to fuss about everything and sometimes you loosen the "rules" a bit if you think
it's really necessary.
Who are YOU?
I'm Remy LeBeau
