Crimson and Clover Over and Over...

The most disturbing thing about having a blog (aside from having a blog...) is that there is documentation of things which are obviously reoccurring themes in my life. For instance this post which I wrote on January 30th is basically the same thing I almost wrote right now.

Pretty much word for word (substituting Yom Kippur for Valentines Day) I am in exactly the same boat now as I was in then.

I like a boy. We have been writing for almost two weeks (which is a long correspondence in the land of fake boyfriends). He wants to meet. I feel the need to "warn" him over and over again that I am fat.

What I really feel like saying to him is, "I'm fat. I may always be this fat. I may get smaller (or bigger). But I am really fucking cool so let's give this a go". But that sounds stupid.

I think what has me so worried is that while I have already told him I am fat, the image of a "fat woman" has so many different conceptions. For some people it means anything over 120 lbs. For others anything over 200 lbs is gigantic. And while I am of the opinion that most men have no idea what women actually weigh, I am universally fat.

And I am worried that he wont want a fat girlfriend. Or he wouldn't want to introduce a fat girlfriend to his friends. Or he would only use me for sex and leave out the relationship part.

And I guess if I get right down to it, I don't feel like I am ever going to find a loving normal relationship at this weight, so I sabotage myself. Past experience tells me I am correct to do so. But if I keep doing it, then nothing will ever change.

I just don't want to settle. I like certain traits in men, and in my mind the chance that one of those men would actually date a fat girl seems to be minuscule. I suppose I have only a few options:
1. Just meet him and hope for the best;
2. Tell him again that I am fat. Really fat and try to get a straight answer out of him about how he feels about that;
3. Stop attempting to date until I have some more confidence in myself.

I want to do option number 2 so badly but it seems insane. I will probably go with option number 1. And option number 3 just confuses me even more.

Am I missing any other options? Thoughts?

I have to say,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with preferring to be thin or finding it more visually appealing. The problem is when people start fat bashing.
Some of the comments I have read from some of the posters here have been absolutely disgusting to say the least! These people should be ashamed of themselves for the way they speak to people they haven't even met.
Some forms of discrimination are: Insulting people on the street. Refusing them jobs. Making snap judgements about someone because of their size. The list goes on and on about what fat people have to put up with in today's society. The part that infuriates me is how some of these people have the nerve to get on their high horses and make others feel like they aren't good enough.
That is a sad state of mind. Some people are meant to be thin. Some people are meant to be fat, tall or short. We should be celebrating diversity and not hating on it. Differences in people is what makes us interesting.

"Abusing anyone who has the temerity to disagree with you is one of them."

Word, sister.

The Buffpuff, Kate, Dolley trifecta does sometimes verge toward anger and thought-policing in their posts. I love hearing from them and reading their thoughts, but I *don't* like their occasional nasty, abusive, flaming tone.

BKD don't have a monopoly on defining the fat experience. They can't tell me how to feel about my fat.

I think the reason that this entry gets so many comments is because it really shows the McGees at a crossroads. It shows how they want something that their fat may, or may not, make impossible.

So just as some people will read that post and want to scream, HIRE A TRAINER AND JOIN WW IMMEDIATELY IF YOUR FAT BOTHERS YOU, others will want to scream YOUR FATNESS IS NOT A HANDICAP. ANYONE WHO JUDGES YOU FOR IT IS NOT WORTH KNOWING.

Some people are meant to be thin. Some people are meant to be fat

Anonymous @ 1:05 - While I applaud your post, I take exception to the quote above. I am one of those people who are "meant to be fat". For me, staying thin requires a lot of discipline and hard work. I'm not saying this to be holier-than-thou or to complain. It's my choice.

To that extent, I think people DO "choose" to be obese. To say otherwise is to absolve the obese of personal responsibility. I am the only person who puts food in my mouth and I am the only person who laces up my running shoes. I accept this because I am an adult.

I think this where a lot of the flaming we have seen here is coming from. If you don't want to give up your pastries or spend most of your spare time working out, fine, that's your choice. But if you aren't genetically blessed with a fast metabolism (and very few people are) and choose to live that way, don't say you're not also choosing to be overweight.

Anonymous said...

what makes you believe that anyone who prefers to remain thin and who finds slenderness more visually pleasing than fat automatically hates and despises fat people?

Absolutely nothing at all – unless they start being verbally abusive, projecting their own insecurities and/or prejudices about fat onto others, or telling others they know better than they do about how they should be conducting their own private business.

I think standing by your sister's decision either way is admirable. I'd also like to ask you how would feel if one such individual called her stupid, lazy, greedy, deluded, weak-willed, insane, jealous, liar, bitch, failure etc., should she eventually opt to ditch the diet and come to love herself the way she is? I'm not saying she will and I'm not saying she should but, from what you say, it is a possibility. How well do you think her fragile ego would stand up to a torrent of bile-filled invective as amply demonstrated on the Tucker Max and Craigslist threads where fat people are likened to paedophiles, drunks and heroin addicts? Try reading those all the way through, then come back and call me a fascist.

Anon at 2.59, I did not "choose" to be put on a diet as a highly active, slightly chubby child of 11 and launched into a fifteen year period of body dysmorphia, serial dieting, sporadic starvation and socially sanctioned self-loathing. What I chose was to put an end to it. That too took discipline, dedication and hard work. I'm not saying that to be holier than thou either - merely to point out that making a choice that has improved my life a hundredfold is scarcely indicative of the abnegation of personal responsibility.

Our life experience differs; your choice is no more laudable than my choice and vice versa. Nobody has the right to judge or hector anyone for taking steps to make their life more tolerable. Fat is not a moral issue. Stop trying to justify fat-hatred on the grounds of perceived choice and, for the love of God, stop fixating on pastries. I don't even like them.

um... McGees? What happened to the date? With which option did you go?
Given that the next post was about fat sex, I'm guessing that it went well? (you met him, he was fat, you had great sex, and...?)
Incidentally, I read the Tucker Max comments today, and I just want to clarify that I don't have anything against you (McGees), my problem was with some of the comments made.

I was anonymous 8.13.I don't have my own weblog, so I didn't think I could give myself a post name, but to make things clearer (if anyone is interested)my name is Gina.

Buffpuff, I have nothing but contempt for those who abuse or insult fat people, whatever their pretended motive. If someone did it in my own presence I would tell them so. My issue about equating it with racism was personal. I just don't think it becomes a WASP like me to draw such parallels, and I feel uneasy when other white people do it.Having said that, I am re-reading what you have written and trying to see it from another point of view.

Anonymous 1.05, I'm with you. I do think Buffpuff and Dolley and Kate have a lot to say that is worth hearing, and their humanity and confidence are inspiring.

But I also think this post is a real challenge because, as you observe in your reflective comment, it shows the fat acceptance v diet conflict at its most personal and poignant. You can believe intellectually in fat acceptance (like my sister)but still not be able to get there emotionally.

That seems to be where Ms McGee was when she wrote this post, which also stands re-reading. That such a bright, funny, self-aware person can feel so unworthy is a tragedy, whatever the reason. I do hope she finds her way through this.

Anonymous said...

Gina, thank you for your willingness to re-read my comments from a different perspective - and please tell your sister from me that Rome wasn't built in a day. It's taken me twenty one years of very hard work to reach the level of self-acceptance I have now and it's something I will continue to work at for the rest of my life. Fortunately there are a lot more books around on the subject than there were when I was in my 20s and the net has some valuable resources too, such as bigfatblog, should she choose to explore them. I wish her well on her journey whatever direction it takes.

I just fundamentally don't get fat acceptance's mantra as to what one is supposed to think about THEMSELVES, as opposed to OTHERS.

Now I get I'm not supposed to tell other people to diet/exercise, but I myself am a fat woman.

I hired a personal trainer 4 weeks ago to come three times a week to my house and work out with me. I also have been doing points (for the umpteenth time, but this is first time I combined exercise AND diet).

Now I feel good. I feel healthy and tighter and stronger and, yes, smaller. And yes!--it would make me happier to be smaller and tighter and stronger!

What would Buffpuff tell me to do now?
Stop monitoring my caloric intake and expenditure, because it's pointless? Am I a self-hating fat person for wanting to be smaller and tighter?

Am I a self-hating fat person for enjoying the process of exercising and getting smaller and stronger? For eating less take-out chinese and lighter, smaller meals?

For finding my reflection in the mirror more beautiful, just as I find it more beautiful with eyeliner, or after a hot shower, or when my hair is shiny?

And please, please, please, please don't respond with a "that may be fine for you, but that's not right for everyone." I *am* talking about me. And I am curious to know what a die-hard FA type would think of what I am doing. Am I delusional? Is my mind warped for wanting my body to look different? I really would like to know.

Dear anonymous @ 7.42. I'm not BuffPuff, but judging from what she has told other people, she'd probably tell you to love and accept yourself the way you are, and not to diet because then you'll need to diet for the rest of your life, yada, yada, yada...

But you know what, anonymous @ 7.42? You're an adult and you can decide for yourself how to live your life. If you want to lose weight you don't need permission from BuffPuff - or anyone else.

Anonymous said...

Buffpuff, no one has called you all those names simply because you're fat. I think your obnoxious, nitpicking, hysterically bitchy personality has something to do with it. For godssake, you point out when people make typos in order to make yourself feel intellectually superior. In that way, you're no different than fat bashers.

Kate217 said...

Criminintly - I go away for a few days, crunching for a deadline and all hell breaks loose.

First of all, I never meant to equate racism or gay-bashing with fat hatred. I merely meant that they are all types of bigotry. I mentioned the marches because they were designed for voiceless individuals to band together with others to raise awareness of prejudice. Just because your household tabby isn't as dangerous as a lion doesn't mean that they aren't both cats, or that the tabby's scratch can't be painful or infectious. Judgments based on solely physical characteristics, whether those characteristics are chosen or not, is still bigotry, and it's still wrong, or are you saying that bigotry that doesn't include slavery or death is somehow acceptable?

I mentioned access to decent clothing because it's been a recurring theme on this blog, not because I think that it's the equivalent of lynching; I'm not a monster, for crying out loud. That said, I do think that having to shop in separate stores for more expensive, lower quality products is not entirely dissimilar to separate drinking fountains, or separate entrances to a building.

I also consider job discrimination, as well as substandard medical care, to be serious forms of bigotry and they are not as "rare" as you may like to believe. I have been to doctors who dismiss my symptoms merely because of my weight, and I know for a fact that I'm not alone in that. How the hell does anyone's being overweight cause a sinus infection? I had either strep or staph the entire time I was slender; in fact, for all I know, it could have been a major factor in my being able to get slender.

I find the comments about "rich white women" amusing. Not only does it assume that all women of color are either built like Condoleezza Rice or poor, which is patently ridiculous, but I make about half what the "average" household in my county does. I know that because of all of the articles written about how those living on the "average household income" have trouble making ends meet here. I do have a fourth-floor roof over my head, and I'm not walking around naked, but only in a third-world country would I be considered "rich."

I also think that you have a different vision of "spa" than BuffPuff may have meant. Around here there are loads of self-professed "spas" that are basically what used to be called "beauty salons," which perform manicures, pedicures, hair styling, facials, and may have a miniscule room in which massages are performed. I have been to one of these because my father gave me a gift certificate; I certainly could never have afforded it myself. Even so, it's not one of the ten-masseur, seaweed wrap, mud bath, sea salt scrub spas you may have in mind.

Buffpuff, Kate, Dolley, what makes you believe that anyone who prefers to remain thin and who finds slenderness more visually pleasing than fat automatically hates and despises fat people? … Why can't you bear to let others have their say without accusing them of being hate-crazed racists?

I don't assume that everyone who's slender or finds slenderness "more visually pleasing" hates fat people any more than I assume all of any group share any single characteristic, except, of course, the defining characteristic that makes them part of that group. I actually believe that the fat haters may be in the minority, they're just a vocal and repulsive minority.

What makes you assume that all people find slenderness more "visually pleasing" than largeness?

You got that second part backwards. I was the one being called a racist, which is rich considering that when my friends get together, it looks like a convocation of the United Nations, and has ever since I was 3.

BKD…can't tell me how to feel about my fat.

I don't have any desire to, and don't believe that BuffPuff or Dolley do, either. If you want to diet and exercise (even to excess), more power to you. I hope the exercise endorphins give you orgasms. I sincerely hope that you achieve everything you want and that it's better than your wildest dreams. If you're happy, then I'm happy for you.

Those of us who choose not to diet or exercise the amount it would take us to get and stay slender just want people to grant us the same tolerance. We don't want to be judged morally deficient, lazy, gluttonous, dirty, worthless, etc. because we choose to live our lives the ways that best suit us, instead of the way society says we should. That and for people who hold us in contempt to keep their mouths shut. I don't think that common civility is too much to ask in a supposedly advanced society.

This whole argument has gone on way to long and veered way off topic. I won't be participating in it any more.

Anonymous at 7.42, only you know whether you are a self-hating fat person. I believe the current social climate makes it supremely difficult not to be regardless of whether a fat person is working on losing weight or not.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no "fat acceptance mantra" though there are plenty of people involved in the movement who advocate – and practice – healthy eating and exercise, just probably not with the primary objective of losing weight.

There are numerous social constructs that sanction the cultivation of a thinner body. Weight loss is promoted as healthy, wise and virtuous. I would suggest that if 50% of movie stars looked like Queen Latifah, every clothing store catered to the plus-sized as a matter of course, (thus rendering the term redundant), and bigoted journalists not granted a platform to denounce fat people in the most offensive terms possible on a daily basis, you might not be quite so inclined to lose weight as you are now. But only you can say for sure. All I can tell you is the negative way I once viewed myself had a lot to do with how society views villifies fat and praises thin, and that dieting didn't work for me in the long term. It's not for me to judge you or tell you how to feel about your body.

Oh... and that would be "you're obnoxious etc", anonymous at 10.10.

And, you haven't really answered Anon@7:42's question. Maybe you could use what you said in a previous post, above: how wretched I feel on your behalf that you'll be dieting for the rest of forever. I could even suggest that you come back and criticise my politics when you've dropped the diet, returned to devouring whole cheesecakes [...], and your arse is once again the size of Estonia.

Regarding my response to Anon at 7.42; the woman adressed me in a civil manner and I responded in kind. Whereas the poster who told me to "go eat a cheesecake" in order to feel better about myself was being hostile, in addition to talking out of her backside. You people really don't get sarcasm, do you?

Anonymous said...

Right. Sarcasm.
I get that you'd want to be hostile in return, but the message is always the same. And that's what my problem is, not the way you said it. The fact that you just assume that she will fail, and that anyone who is "supposed to be fat" should never attempt to fight that, because they will ultimately fail and be even more miserable. For the umpteenth time, I'm not saying that everyone should look the same, and that thin=better human being, however, people should be alowed to want/try/fight to be thin if they choose so, and not be accused of self-hatred, brainwashing, being subjugated by patriarchy, society or the fashion industry.
You keep saying how people insult your intelligence, however, you are doing the same. You just assume that people who want to be thin(er) are not smart enough to see what's going on, and, in essence, are followers, rather than being able to make their own judgements.

Well put.

I doubt that anyone has lost a serious amount of weight without some feelings of self-disgust/shame at their former selves. You need to get to that point before you're willing to change. And if it gives you the kick in the pants you need, what's so bad about that?

It's unrealistic to expect everyone to feel 100% positive about themselves 100% of the time.

Ugh, you dumbass land whale, the whole point was that YOU nitpick tiny things like typos in order to make yourself look smarter than everyone else. Being a washed up author (actually a never-has-been) is nothing to feel proud of, especially when you're getting on in years, and will probably make nothing remarkable of yourself. Do you spend so much time online because you have nothing better to do (you're not married, are you?) or because you write for online publication?

Yeah, for me the turning point was when I started to outgrow my size 14s.

Cherree, having stereotypes foisted upon me in a dismissive and overly aggressive manner is rarely a good way to engage me in serious, reasoned conversation.

I meant every word I said to Ms 7.42. I cannot tell her what I think about what she is doing. She’s not a friend or relation so I‘ve no personal involvement or axe to grind. I don't know how old or how fat she is; how many diets she's been on, (beyond this being the umpteenth time she’s used the points system); I don’t know whether she’s gotten steadily fatter over the course of her life as a result; if she has any attendant health problems; what kind of relationship she has with food as a consequence of dieting – or much about her personality at all. I’ve certainly no idea why she feels the need to know what a diehard fat acceptance type would view her current choices. What I do know is that I have been where she is now in many respects and – once I realised there were other ways of looking at what I’d been taught to view as problems – I elected to deal with them differently, benefiting substantially in the process. I have, however, never been, where FFC, nonstickpam and co. appear to be – which is to say in the business of crashing conversations which have nothing to do with weight loss to yell, “Listen up, you fugly bitches, you’d better ditch the pounds because we did and if you lazy-arsed, Big Mac-guzzling failures won’t admit you want to be fabulous, sexy us you’re stupid, stubborn, cracked, lying, jealous or just plain wrong!”

My response to FFC may well have been fired off in anger but it also deliberately preempted everything she (and you apparently) expect me to say as an proponent of fat acceptance. If I hadn’t said it, she most certainly would, especially in the light of her cheesecake comment, so I thought I’d save her the bother. Yes there’s an element of truth, (as I perceive it), to my comments but I do not cruise diet-blogs telling people they’re poor, sad, deluded victims of the partriarchy on the highway to nowhere, not least because my views are actually not that simplistic and it would be rude and presumptuous. Fat acceptance is not just about dieting, nor is everyone involved with the movement necessarily fat. It’s about the perpetuation of stereotypes that colour people’s attitude to and treatment of fat folk in every walk of life; it’s about the way women of every size are taught from birth to hate their bodies and fear fat – and the multi-million dollar industries which profit obscenely from ensuring that situation doesn’t change. If you genuinely can’t see a political aspect to that, then that's too bad.

If someone wants to devote their lives to "fighting" to be thin, that's their business. Under normal circumstances I would refrain from voicing my opinion unless it's asked for.
However, if that person decides fighting the good fight entitles them to make judgements about my fat and how I care to deal with it, I'm certainly not going to stay schtum about my experience of dieting. If you don't like what I have to say, don't provoke me.

Anonymous said...

Yes, I certainly do see a political aspect to it. This though does not give you the right to just assume that anyone who chooses to be (or tries to) be thin has beein brainwashed and subdued. You have in no way proved your intellectual or moral superiority by going against the grain.

Anonymous said...

Cherree, society grants you carte blanche to assume all sorts of things about me purely on the basis of my being fat. I'm afraid it's a two-way street.

I could assume the reason you find my outlook so profoundly disturbing is because it strikes a chord somewhere – or that the reason I get up your nose so much is because I refuse to believe my size makes me inferior to someone who weighs less than I do.

What I will, in fact, assume is this: if someone who has commited themselves to the pursuit of thinness cannot do so without going out of their way to criticise, ridicule, belittle and insult those who don't share their views, they are far from well-balanced or happy with their lot. I will assume the need to visit hatred on people who resemble their former selves is a form of projected self-loathing and indicative of a major personality defect.

Frankly the rest is pure conjecture.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm bowing out of this tedious exchange.

I really think it comes from a deep seated inferiority complex. I'm an American who lived in britain for awile, and I really noticed that. Fat is the ONE measuring stick on which British people are "better" than Americans.

Am I wrong? Or are they bizarrely obsessed.?

I mean there's some new BBC show called "Fat Friends," remember "Fergie, Duchess of Pork," the guy who plays David Brent obsesses over being fat, they have to have PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS on the tv to tell schoolchildren not to viciously bully fat children -- it's all kind of sick, "innit"?

I really think it comes from a deep seated inferiority complex. I'm an American who lived in britain for awile, and I really noticed that. Fat is the ONE measuring stick on which British people are "better" than Americans.

Being British, I don't consider my fellow countrymen any more unforgiving towards fat than Americans – at least not judging by some of the flagrant hostility, ignorance and intolerance I've come across trawling the net.

Given that we have no equivalent of NAAFA in the UK and have finally caught up with the US regarding political correctness around every other issue bar fat, fat-bashing, being socially acceptable, has become something of a national sport. Some of our journalists can be spectacularly vicious and our press has no qualms about allowing them a platform to villify half the British population – something that strikes me as extraordinarily benighted, since, by extension, that includes a significant proportion of their readership. The fact that they do not even take this into consideration and that so many of us are prepared to tolerate it is proof that fat acceptance has yet to take root here in any meaningful way.

I don't think Britain suffers with an inferiority complex so much as it's never quite gotten over losing an empire. For as long as I've been old enough to vote, whoever's been in government has determinedly grasped onto America's coat tails in order to convince themselves we're a superpower by extension. Many Brits take a dim view of this, especially when it involves dragging the country into wars they feel are none of Britain's business – hence a lot of anti-American feeling. (Though, to be honest, as someone who has visited the States on numerous occasions, most recently when US troops were preparing to go into Iraq, it strikes me there are many Americans who feel the just same way).

There are more supersized people in America but, frankly, with both nations working themselves into an hysterical frenzy over obesity, I think the "fat American" jibes have more to do with foreign policy and the word "fat" commonly passing for an insult than any perceived superiority about the health of the nation.
