You can get with fat or you can get with that.

I have been a fat chick for most of my life with some brushes of near thinness a few times. I didn't gain my weight after having a baby, or when in college or because I am older like I hear so many profess. I hear all the time, I just can't seem to loose this baby weight or yeah, now that I'm older I can't seem to loose this pot belly. I was born a big baby didn't measure long, I weighed a lot. I was a chubby kid through grammar school and when I reached Junior High School I basically starved myself thin (guys and clothes a teen girls source of will power). The years that followed were the typical yo-yo years of an Voluptulifer. Not to be confused with a Velociraptor though the ravenous instinctual qualities are similar. The social chase of the prey and sharing the bounty of their hunt I can see the similarities that might cause confusion. So label me and other people who have been fat all their lives as a Voluptulifer(my preference) or Pleasantly Plump, or Husky but if you are a Fatist this probably isn't the blog for you. Stick around and learn something or find another blog to stalk. So you can get with Fat or you can go get with whatever you want to get with.

Other than pure addiction(I believe that part of being a Voluptulifer is being addicted to food), the reason I remain fat is that eating is my past time. One of my favorite things to do is eat, eating out and eating at parties, BBQ's and any other occasion. I love trying out new restaurants, bakeries, coffee houses and now I am enthralled with Foodie Trucks. Damn what a concept, chasing foodie trucks this is my kind of fun it's like searching for buried treasure, a scavenger hunt, or solving a mystery. First finding out which truck you want to try, then where it is located, on what night, then when you catch up with one hanging on the hood of your car with you buddy like you did when you were a teen 'cept your also enjoying a delectable Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwich or a spicy Vietnamese sandwich on french bread instead of cigarettes and......

I am not so much a fast food eater, not saying I never eat fast food just not so often because though it may satisfy the addictive characteristics of a Voluptulifer, it lacks most of the Social Quality of eating. Drive through then scarfing and usually when alone or even if it is with someone else it's fleeting not very social. Unlike chasing food trucks where you or your partner are shotgun navigating like Bonnie and Clyde or Thelma and Louise except your 50plus pounds heavier. Or getting together with friends and dining at your favorite or next favorite restaurant.

I am not sure where this blog is going may just take on a life of it's own or it may be Confessions of a Fat Chick, or restaurant critique or how to loose weight while remaining a social eater or it could end here. We'll see.
