Big Girls

I watched the Grammy's on Sunday night. I kind of liked them. It was interesting how they had many different performers on stage singing with others from other genres. That was kind of cool. I think the best performance outside of Jennifer Hudson's was Sugarland's. I love Jennifer Nettles voice. She sounded great when she sang the duet with Adele on "Chasing Pavements". It was nice too seeing both Adele and Jennifer Hudson as plus size girls up there doing their thing.
It's not widely accepted to be a singer and a plus suze girl, unless you were an opera singer. It's refreshing to see Jordin Sparks up there too. They show those chubby little aspiring girls that there is someone out there who looks like them! Back when I was growing up there weren't that many big women out there. Looking back at the styles for plus size girls in the 80's and early 90's, I can probably see why. LOL!
Being that the average size for women today is 14, there are big girls out there everywhere nowadays. But there is still a discrimination out there. It's still accpetable today for people to judge fat people.
Everyday of my life I catch people looking at me. It still phases me at times and I am almost 33 years old. I dress good for my age and size. I've been complimented by older women at my job as well as a gay friend of a friend. If you can get the praise from the older women and men who really don't find women attractive, you got it!
I know I need to lose weight, for my health especially, and I could probably find more choices in a smaller size, but I don't need other people thinking or saying this to me. I don't tell them that they may be stupid and maybe if they went back to school, they would be smarter or if they got their nose fixed, they might be more attractive. I like people for who they are, not what they look like or how smart they are.
Everyone has something to offer. But judging a book by it's cover, may make you miss out on a masterpiece!
