As a 21-year-old, 5'2, 235lb female growing up in modern day America, I can tell you a thing or two about insecurities. I have been overweight since I was 12 years old and have gained progressively since then. About a year ago, I joined WeightWatchers and over the course of several months, lost 46lbs. Thinking that I would be able to keep doing what I was doing without any help, I quit WeightWatchers. Now, not only have I gained all 46lbs back, but I am 11 lbs heavier than I have ever been before.
The first thing you need to know about "Pretty but Fat" is that this blog is not just for fat girls. It's not just for pretty girls. It is for all girls. "Pretty but Fat" is just an example of how while we may recognize the things we like about ourselves, we tend to concentrate on the things we don't.
Among other things, I plan for this blog to be about the insecurities that plague so many of us, why we have them, and what to do about them. This is not just a Weight Loss Blog, but I'll also be tracking my journey toward weight loss here, which I hope will serve as a beacon of hope for girls like me. Girls who are pretty everywhere but in our own minds.
