How Did You Get So Fat?

Last night I had the most empowering dream. Ever.

I dreamed I was in a huge mall looking for a plus size evening gown. I know I had this dream because I am in high anxiety over what to wear to a mega event coming up for me in Sept. All the plus size gowns are exorbitant and I simply can’t afford them.

Anyway, I kept going into these stores that had gorgeous, just simply gorgeous, gowns. Finally, I spoke up at a last store.

“Why don’t you have plus sizes? Don’t you know that being fat isn’t a crime? Don’t you know that my plus size money spends just as good as size zero money?”  And I went into a pitch about how much I loved my curves and how there was a whole segment of society that could boost their sales, if they’d cater to them.

Anyway, I know that in my dream I was just repeating great things I’ve read from plus size people online. Noithing original.

But it felt great. And it still does.
