I'm Not Zoidberg
Well-Known Member
I know this matter has been discussed in other threads, but I still feel the need to rant.
I'm fat, although nowhere near as fat as many of the other people here. (Many of you would undoubtedly think I'm lighter than hydrogen.) You see, I'm one of those "naturally skinny" people who ended up gaining weight anyway - albeit unintentionally, I'll admit - and, as is often the case in such people, the fat went almost entirely into my belly. And that's fine as far as I'm concerned. In a way, it makes me look heavier than I really am, given that my 46 inch gut is quite large in proportion to the rest of me. There is, however, an apparent limit to how much weight I can gain painlessly, and that's OK too. I love soft, protruding bellies, both on myself and on others, and I like the way my body looks and feel right now. None of this is really the issue, though.
The issue is that I often feel like I'm caught in that maddening middle (pun not intended, but run with it if you wish) between being a BHM and a so-called "normal" size. I've been told by some non-FFA's that I'd be cute if I only lost the paunch, and I've been told by some FFA's that I'd be cute if I could fill out the rest of my body the way my gut has grown. Well, sorry, but first: I don't wanna lose the paunch, and second: this is just how my fat is distributed, and that's it! Do I really need fit into some standardized cookie-cutter mold? Just deal with me as I am, fer fook sehk! Gaaaaah!
[bangs head on desk a few times, and also the wall for good measure]
Anyway, my thanks to everyone on this board for providing such an understanding environment. This rant wasn't aimed at you guys so much as at the world in general. I don't like to categorize anyone needlessly, although it seems like we live on a planet determined to place everyone firmly into some distinct category or another. And intellectually, I recognize how stupid that is. Still, it's difficult not to feel the effects, and even to do it myself sometimes.
Meh. I'm Not Zoidberg is now going to have a cup of tea and chill out.
