Was it Really Necessary to Call Myself Fatty...?
I've never really been a shy timid girl, and my confidence seems to scream outloud in instances when I wore my red lace underware ouside of my tight black pants to school my senor year of high school, or on a dress up day labled "Beach Day" the same year, I decided to wear my swimsuit, a sorong on the bottom half, flip flops, arm floaties, a huge orange and yellow life preserver, white sun screen on my nose, and huge oversized plastic "clown" sunglasses from the dollar store.
It never fails me on the dance floor as I do my typical "amy" dances. "Right foot forward, arms bent at a 90 degree angle next to the hips, pelvic thrust forward, and back, forward, and back, forward as left foot steps forward in one, and I must add, sexy, little move.
But in one horrifying experience with a bridesmaids dress and a three way mirror, my confidence is at an all-time low. Seriously, who designed these things? Number one, the dress. Satin sticks to everything- every crevasse, divit, and lump on your body, this material seems to desperatly seek out. And the mirror! It was obviously designed by some abdormally thin rail-like woman, because no one in their right mind would ever agree to stand in front of that thing clothed, or naked, and punish themselves with each glance into one mirror that duplicates the image over and over and over again! In my deepest, most alone moment I have ever had with myself, I called myself fatty, to my face, outloud.
I have 2 weddings, both of which I am the maid of honor, in the next 5 months. I have that exact amount of time, to turn this wretched body of mine into something of a miricle, a dream, a desire.
Wish me luck!
