FAT GIRL WOES PT2

FAT GIRL WOES Pt2

In my last post about fat girl woes read HERE I mentioned a couple of thing that  I considered  to be some little issues “phat” girls face so number three on that list is

3. THE INFAMOUS K-LEG

Many Phat  people suffer from this but not all and sometimes even some skinny people have this but i'm guessing theirs is due to some form of malnourishment or the other (I’m guessing oo I no be doctor). In Phat people this happens as a result of no thigh gap and the leg kind of bends ouward from the knee down this unusual shape gives many phat people I know the most awkward walking steps. Really weird stuff.

4. The Cat-calls and snide comments:

This is really the most frustrating and annoying. Let me share my story with you. On fateful day oo on my way back from work I stopped at a kiosk to buy gala for my neighbour’s children cos they would bug me if I came back empty handed. So I bought four pieces  of gala and as I was about to pay the man that was selling to me asked “ Ahn Ahn madam na only you wan chop all this Gala. Take am easy o! you no suppose dey chop sef na only water you suppose dey drink”. As you can imagine I was mortified because the people around wo heard him were snickering and some were laughing out loud so i just quietly and jejely dropped his products for him and gave him my deadliest look by this time he was now apologizing. I left his shop and went to his neighbour’s shop and I bought a carton of gala and a carton of Viju milk with one pack of buttermint sweets. I made sure he was looking as I was counting the money to pay his neighbour when I saw the look on his face I instantly fet pity for him but unfortunately the deed had been done.

And its not only comments like that you hear some times when I pass some bystanders would just shout “UKWU”  or some would shout “my size”. OMG that’s the worst when they shout my size or ukwu I instinctively know I’m the one they are talking to and as my reflex action takes over I turn my head to look and I most often see a scraggy looking wretched humanbeing.  I just get so ashamed and angry at the same time.

 

5. NO TALL DARK AND HANDSOME:

Although this isn’t always the case but most guys that like PHAT girls are the older married men with pot bellies. It is a bit hard to find young good looking men that are interested in PHAT girls and even if they are for fear of ridicule they wouldn’t admit it.

My former boss once told me that because of my size (I’m kinda tall so I’m considered huge and imposing) I should be looking forward to marrying a small man so that the equation can be balanced I thought she was making small sense until she added  “you see you have no right to lay claim on any tall man you have to marry a small man so that you can be a boost to his ego” she then proceeded to give me her brother’s number.  I was so shocked that this educated, accomplished  woman whom I looked up to would allow such stupidity come out from her mouth (this na serious end time things sha). I just jejely smiled and left her office.

Finally I have come to end of this post I have shared with you some of my woes and agonies as a PHAT princess. Pls if you feel that I have missed out anything feel free to let me know in the comments section.

Also if you have woes and agonies like me and you just cant deal anymore then please lose some weight so as to be happy and healthy like I’m trying to do. #teamfitgirls

FAT GIRL ISSUES

Ok before I begin I would like to apologize for using the other “F” word in the title of this post but I had to so that I could convey the gravity of the issue.

Now normally I call myself Plus size, curvy, Rubenesque, big, full, luscious and all other euphemisms but for the purpose of this post I’m just going to be using the  word “PHAT” (I can’t bring myself to write the “F” word.

A PHAT girl life is a difficult life to lead. Especially in a country like Nigeria where the people and the citizens have zero chill. As in ehn it is a known and proven scientific fact that Nigerians do not possess any chill button whatsoever we are very crass and very rude.  One thing Nigerians are very good at is giving unsolicited advice (wetin dem no ask you; you go chook your mouth for inside) and its very annoying although I do it sometimes LOL.

So you can now imagine living a PHAT girl life in a place where anybody can just walk up and tell u rubbish. Scary abi??

Now I have compiled a list of the woes and agonies most PHAT girls face and they are:

1.     NO GOOD CLOTHES:

 For the average PHAT Joe like me who enjoys looking good doing at all times. It can be a bit of a hardship achieving that goal on. If you are a size 16 and above living in Nigeria with little money to spare like me (e go better; GOOD THINGS) then  wahala dey oo. Because it is very difficult to get good plus size clothing and when you eventually do find a really nice outfit it ridiculously expensive.

I mean you could see an outfit of the same texture, fabric, colour, pattern, shape, style, design and even smell in a small size but the larger version would be more expensive. I don’t understand if it is the extra 

 material that I’m paying for oh. It is well sha

2.       NO THIGH GAP:

Arrrggghhhhhhh…………….. This one don pain me for blood!! That ever elusive thigh gap. That space between the legs that many aspire to get but few ever achieve.  Yes this affects both men and women. When the laps touch due to the excess of adipose tissues (fat) in that area the contact surface becomes really dark and bumpy and pimply and just plain ugly (and the thing can pepper well well). This happens when you go for really long walks without any form of protection.

One way to combat this is to wear tights/girdles/short knickers/boxers under your clothes as a second layer of underwear like I do.

But when I’m home I just let loose just to let breeze reach that area. LMAO!!!!!!

WOW it’s not easy abi?? Skinny bebes take note oo.

That’s it for now. Please check out my next post on FAT GIRL woes

If you feel I have left anything out or I haven’t been accurate in my writing please drop a comment and let me know. I would love to hear about different woes and agonies of different PHAT ladies living in Nigeria. Ciao
