Where’s the best place in Charlottesville to buy clothes that flatter the fat girl? Which doctors in town will treat my symptoms, not my fat? Where, for the love of avocados, are all the awesome fat chicks at? Fat Positive Charlottesville is here to answer those questions!
Charlottesville needs a resource where we fat folks can (gasp) practice the enjoyable art of loving and accepting ourselves–NOW, not on the condition of 10 or 50 or 200 pounds lost. This site is a way for local gals to find one another, find out about Fat Acceptance, and find out how much fun we can have! This community is just forming, and already we’ve found out that the fun we can have together includes belly dancing classes, sushi outings, strolls at Carter’s Mountain, trouncing one another at Mario Kart, fat yoga, wine tasting, pool parties, and reading groups. Not to mention good old weekend coffee gab sessions, and also getting seriously stoned (but not too often).
Wait, wait, what’s all this craziness? Fun? Outside? Don’t we have to be skinny to have fun or show our faces outside? Let me answer that with a resounding, expasperated “THPPPPPPT!” We’re hot, smart, creative, and exciting just as we are. And, let’s just throw this out there right now: diets do not work anyway! So, really people, what are we waiting for?
We can do whatever we want. Let’s get on with our lives.
