The Massively Popular Art of Self-Loathing With a Big Fat Ass

By: Laura Banks And Janette Barber

If you’re like most of us, you hate yourself. Maybe you don’t dislike you in any kind of obvious way; you don’t break mirrors with a hair brush upon seeing your reflection or whip yourself with a cat-o-nine-tails before bedtime. No, this itchy I-really-think-I-suck feeling is buried in a deep, dark, hidden place. (Maybe you are sitting on it - covering it up with your big fat ass.) Most likely part of your problem is that you hate yourself over the girth of that big beefy butt.

It is our humble opinion that how your ass looks in a pair of jeans has become the collect-all - the place where your focus goes for that juicy feeling of self-loathing often experienced in the privacy of a Wal-Mart dressing room trying to squeeze into a size 10 and discovering that you’d have to actually cut your ass off to get into them. Maybe you feel that self-hatred while lying in the bath starring at your big ol’ dimply self, or maybe it tends to happen that first time you get naked with your new boyfriend. (Okay, he’s really not a boyfriend, you slept with him that one night then he never called again…. whatever.)

Never before in history has it been so fashionable to hate yourself. The average woman is a size 14. She’s 5’4”, weighs 140 lbs. According to Fitness Magazine, this typical B-FAB (Beautiful Fat Ass Babe) has said that she would give up ten years of her life to be a body type she admired! We would die to look more like Barbie (a perfect size 8). We say, STOP THE INSANITY! Stop believing a media gone crazy that says we should all look like Nicole Kidman. When Nicole Kidman was pregnant, she didn’t even look pregnant. That’s how thin she is! Nobody looks like her. She doesn’t even look like her. (Most photos are air-brushed.)

Let’s love ourselves exactly the way we are and bury our poor body image concepts along with our last copy of the Cayenne Pepper Diet and Suzanne Somer’s Thighmaster. Let’s accept our bodies, flaws, rolls and all. Only then we will be more likely to start eating in healthier ways.

Yes that’s true according to new research, and who are we to quibble with the experts. Since one out of three of us are a size fourteen or larger, it would make sense that we must all start forgiving ourselves and our fat asses. If not, who is going to love your children? Not you. You’re too busy showing your kids how self-loathing actually works rather than getting on with the business of living and loving your family. (You may not come out and say to your kids that you hate your body, but that little litter you spawned is intuitive and knows deep down how you feel about yourself.)

We hope we’ve snapped some love-thyself common sense into your BFM (Big Fat Mind). Maybe we could simply create a miracle and say, “Yes, today is the day I am going to embrace my body exactly the way it is.” Then, just get on with it. Go walk your dog. Take a lie down. Eat cake. We don’t care. But if you really accept our weighty challenge, to honor thyself, thy ass and thy thighs as beautiful God-given evidence that you are alive, and yes that you EAT and that you are healthy(ish), the first thing you will notice is that suddenly you are happy. Remember this always: The struggling is optional.
