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,

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i...

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad...

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...
