I thought it would be an interesting question..and positive message as well to see who made the biggest impact on everyone during their road to self acceptance?
I have to say mine would be the east coast girls. I had already been involved in the community for a while but I drove here to Atlanta to attend a bash and met Heather and some of the other now bigcuties. I'm not sure if i'll remember who all was with us but there were a buttload (quite literally lol) of fat girls ...Heather, AnnMarie, Deidre, Cat, Jerry Carmichael and myself (i hope i'm not forgetting anyone)...along with the men who were with us. We all went to a ChickFilet and when we walked in ALL eyes turned on us hehe.It was like everyone just stopped what they were doing to look at the herd of fat girls lol. Normally i would've been intimidated but to see the way these girls reacted to it was priceless. They took control and in no way were intimidated by these people and it was awesome.
I have to say that Heather has probably been the biggest influence of all in my life though. I had never seen anyone make no excuses for being fat and EXPECT people to accept it. Living that example made a huge impact on how i viewed things and myself and i'm definitely greatful
Now...come out with it folks...what's y'alls story
