Enough with the fear of fat
I’m here today to talk to you about a very powerful little word, / one that people will do almost anyting / to avoid becoming./Billiom-dollar industries thrive / because of the fear of it, /and those of us who undeniably are it /are left to navigate a relentle storm / surrounding it.I’m not sure if any of you have noticed,/but
I’m
fat./Not
the lowercase,muttered-behind-my-back kind,/or the seemingly harmle chubby or cuddly./ I’m not even the more sophisticated voluptuous or curvaceous kind./Let’s not sugarcoat it./ I am the capital F-A-T kind of fat./ I am the elephant in the room./WhenI walked out on stage,/some of you may have been thinking, /”Aww,this is going to be hilarious,/because everybody knows that fat people are funny.”/Or you may have been thinking,” Where does she get her confidence from?”/Because a confident fat woman is almost unthinkable.
