I dislike the age old saying “ Fat chicks need love too “. The saying is such a backhanded compliment , a double entendre . As if being fat means I shouldn ’ t be loved already . It is almost like I should be happy somebody or anybody for that matter loves me because I am bigger and due to the fact that I have extra love handles that you probably can ’ t handle in the first place , I need your love too . I need some special kind of love because ME being a WOMAN isn ’ t enough ! Being human isn ’ t enough for your love . Fat women and girls have been in their own category because that statement along suggest that we ’ re in a box of our own , that it takes a certain type of person to love us because truly we must be a different species of woman . We don ’ t exactly get to be normal because cellulite looks like a roller coaster ride on our thighs and our bodies are wide enough to have its own gravitational pull . Sadly for years fat women and girls have been walking around taking this insult as a compliment because they lack confidence in themselves to know that they don ’ t need love too they need love period . Fat women are accepting any and everything , and not setting the standard . You DO NOT have to accept whatever is thrown your way . WE HAVE OPTIONS ! Women period have options . We can pick and choose and just like with food if it isn ’ t done right throw the whole plate away on sight . We don ’ t need your love too ; we need love PERIOD , because we are HUMAN . We just have a couple more pounds to love on but our hearts bleed and break like “ Normal ” ( and I use that term lightly because what is normal anyway .) women . So the next time someone says “ Fat chicks need love too ” DO NOT accept that as a compliment because of your size . A queen is a queen , why you think crowns come in different sizes .
