SOMETHING ELSE WEIGHING ON MY MIND

Yes, it's large enough to contain more than one thought. I'm not sure just how many more than one, but at least a few.

Anyway, did anyone happen to read the study published a few days ago by the NPD? Yes? No? Maybe? Well, in case you missed it, the general consensus of this study was to discover Americans attitude towards obesity. And the survey says: "Over a 20-year period, the percentage of Americans who said they find overweight people less attractive steadily dropped from 55 percent to 24 percent."

Now, here's what I want to know. Where are these 76%? Chicago was just ranked the fattest city in America according to Men's Fitness Magazine. And I live in the greater Chicago area. So why am I not getting laid on a regular basis? Is Chicago too fat and thus I'm the norm and not the exception and am therefore invisible and less attractive? Is the stereotype of "funny girl = unattractive girl" still considered to be true? Funny guys are sexy, why not funny girls? Or am I both unfunny and unattractive?

I just answered my own question back there, didn't I? If only I were as dumb as W, then the obvious would go right over my head, too. Ummm...Please excuse me while I go off to a small dark corner, curl up into a fetal position and weep far away from the evil bastion of too much information one can find on the internets. Nahh...Fuck that. I'm a Glamazon, damn it! And from one smart, sexy fat girl to another, I just want to say, Bon Voyage Shelley Winters. We're all skinny in the water and even skinnier once we've been underground for a while.
