What a perfect day to start a blog about being fat. Thanksgiving, that lovely holiday where friends and family gather to stuff their faces full of gravy-drenched poultry, green bean casseroles, porkified stuffings, yams, potatoes, butter-slathered rolls, pies, pies, and pies, and a dash of cranberry gloop for aesthetic appeal.
The average American consumes well over 3,000 calories during their Turkey-day meal. I, for one, can’t wait to feel my butt cheeks spreading over the edge of my chair as my family passes plate after platter of calorie-laden goodness from one to another.
And as I laugh with my family, feeling my chins are multiplying by the moment, tugging at my sweater to hide the sag and jiggle, I’ll be thinking about this blog, glad to finally have a place to get the truth of being fat out to the expanding masses.
