I Am Fat But That's Okay...

71.

Good evening my loves, or good morning, or even good afternoon to whoever reads these posts. How are you? What have you been up to this weekend? I worked on Saturday and went to my Mums on Sunday and all I've done today is sit at the computer and watch YouTube videos. I've been scratched to heck by Logan (our kitten) he's nicely caught my face! God damn it! And now I am listening to old 90's music which thinking about it a lot of it was quite depressing! BUT very very good. LOVE 90's music.

I had every intention this evening to make buns but my mood has slowly but surely become lower and lower as the evening has progressed, I am having an evening of low confidence and a want to be very honest and open with you loves, but I think if I do that I will regret it. So lets just see what my brain and fingers end up typing shall we?

PARKLIFE BY BLUR HAS COME ON!!! DANCE WITH ME!!

*cough* sorry about that. it's just a great song!

Loves, I'm putting this out there...I'm fat and before you think 'oh Beth' I don't wanna hear the lies, I am, I know it and you know it. I must weigh a million stone by now, this year I have really piled on the weight and I feel uncomfortable, I feel like an elephant. I need to change this. Loves, I have bad skin today! I have a massive spot on my cheek and chin, oh why can't I have lovely youthful glowing skin? I turn 25 on the 26th and I feel old, I believe I could be having a quarter life crisis! Yep, I'm pretty sure I am. Life is feeling very dramatic at the moment yet nothing is happening. 

Going back to the fat thing, I have always been heavy. My brother used to call me Mr Blobby. If he were to call me that now I have an almighty right hook so he'd know about it. I had a couple of years of being much smaller than what I ever have been but I only achieved that by not eating during the day. Very silly, I wouldn't recommend it. But now, now I can't stop bloody eating, and all I eat is rubbish! I am not wanting any comments saying I look fine or anything. I am the only one to change my habits. I know I will one day, hopefully sooner than later :D

Oh jeez, The Smiths has just come on, if I wasn't feeling down before I definitely do now! 

I feel that if more plus sized ladies where in the spot light it would give others like myself who don't embrace the bodies they have more confidence to be proud of who we are. I see these 'plus sized' models online and quite frankly it angers me because they aren't. I want women with wobbly parts to be out there and seen as beautiful instead of an easy target for a laugh. I am allowed to criticise myself, I do not have the right to criticise others appearances and others do not have the right to criticise my appearance. This doesn't just stand for peoples weight, it stands for anything anyone decides. 

No one should be made to feel they can't express who they are just because others don't like it or understand it. Instead we should all be able to express ourselves freely with how we dress and chose to live. At the end of the day we only have ourselves to make us happy, so why do things that make us unhappy because one person disagrees? People don't have to understand, they just have to respect. 

I waste so much of my time being overly aware of how I look, I spend a stupid amount of time in the morning covering my face in make up so others don't see my natural true face. I won't wear jeans because I have fat legs, I wear baggy tops to cover my stomach. I spend all this time on stuff that really doesn't matter instead of spending time with others who do matter or involving myself in activities that I'd enjoy. I've conformed to society because society decides what people my size can and can not do. I must never post an image of myself that has skin on show because my skin is much more stretched out than others and that's not 'pretty'. FUCK THAT I am making a mental note in my mind right now to stop conforming to what others believe is right and instead I will do what I wish and enjoy my time here. I don't know society and society doesn't know me!  

So loves, I may well and truly be fat, and have bad skin but you know what?? I'm beautiful. And you reading this, thinking of the flaws you have, remember you are beautiful too.

Much love,

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of fa

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han
