it's nice to meet you.

I'm Simone.
I'm 25. I'm a leo. I'm a hairdresser. I live on Long Island. I'm engaged to be married this October. And I've been "fat" since as long as I can remember.
I have about a hundred opinions and feelings on what it's like to be a normal girl in a big body. I plan on letting loose, saying what needs to be said, and what millions of other fatgirls have been thinking for ages. And I'm also not going to apologize for not being politically correct - let's agree that from here on out, I will not be referring to any girls like me as "big" or "curvy" or "full figured" (which are all great adjectives) simply because I think those are terms we use to disguise how we really think of ourselves to the public. We consider ourselves, in our heads, fatgirls.
And there's nothing wrong with that!! But don't pretend like we haven't all had the days where we wake up and wonder what we did in a past life to be stuck in these bodies. We can't keep hiding the fact that we have a love/hate relationship with our bodies.
So strap yourself in, let's take this crazy ride together.

xoxo
Simone
