Once Upon A Time...

There was a girl who was chubby. She was a chubby pre-schooler who grew into a chubby teenager, who grew into a plus size young adult. Now, at age 32, this girl, was ready for a change. She had been ready for this change for awhile, but had come up with every excuse as to why she should not. What was on the other side, she asked herself? She had already started a successful online mag for plus size women like herself, encouraging them to love themselves. And certainly, she did love herself. She loved her mind. She loved the things that she could do. She loved everything about herself--except the outer casing that herself was wrapped in.
She didn't want to be skinny. But then again, she had nothing to compare being heavy to. In all honesty, she really just wanted to lose her double chin. And her bat wings. And maybe some of the rolls of fat on her back. And possibly the two liter bottle of fat that was where her abs should be. Anything past that would be a bonus.

 After much debate, in her mind, she realized she had nothing to lose. But weight. And only more life to gain.

Will she end up at a happily ever after? Not sure. But will she find a new self? We shall see...
