Like the rest of you who don't have a size that is acceptably ideal, I'm hyper-sensitive about "things fat." So in the midst of my last holiday, somewhere I heard a question asked about another topic and I turned it into the title of this article. I think it's very, very important.

Who did I become BECAUSE I was fat? I'm just going to make a list here for you of what I have unfolded in my life due to being obese. None of these is a complaint nor is any one a brag. They are all statements of fact about who I have become courtesy of my cross to bear.

* I know that I am 100% capable of self-sufficiency.

* I know that while I might whine initially, very soon after the whine, I own whatever is making me uncomfortable, dissatisfied, angry, or off-kilter in some way and I fix it.

* I am enormously grateful for the innumerable blessings in my life. I have two friends who spent time with me lately doing handyman work after driving six hours to get to my house, and two wonderful relatives who tried to do the same while sick but had to leave. Amazing!

* I know that I am resourceful and can find dozens of ways to resolve a need or a problem.

* I am generously in love with my Self due to my understanding of my nature.

* I have great wisdom, true brilliance and the willingness to help most others if I can see they make the effort to help themselves.

* I have a long, long list of skills and talents.

* I have a deep-seated sense of real spirituality. I thrive on Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.

* I am very quick witted. You have to be when surfer dudes yell "No Fat Chicks!" You have to react fast to smack their little behinds when all you've got is words.

* I am a deep, deductive reasoner. The enjoyment at the end of this process is exhilarating.

* I have learned acceptance is the most practical form of love. I no longer try to change anyone. I accept them "as is" because they are just perfect "as is" to my eyes.

* I know that generosity generates and I enjoy being generous.

* I can manifest whatever I strongly desire using my mind alone.

* I adore being alive. I'm not planning to die any time soon. 126 is my goal.

I don't want to think up any more. That's enough. Not a bad cross for this fat girl to have had to carry, eh? Having a fat body or being a large size isn't always a detriment, folks. I know that by persevering to love and accept yourself, you will. I'd like to help you do that. Reading my book would be a boon and a blessing to get you on the right path.
