Introducing Leigh-Anne

Holy cow! I just checked the site and realized this published already and I didn't write an intro for Leigh-Ann!

So, here goes (it's not that I don't care, Leigh-Ann, it's that I've been easily sidetracked by only thinking about myself—and shiny things—for the last 33 years).

I confess that like Leigh-Ann, I am also a Patricia Cornwell reader, much to the dismay of our very own Miss Laura. So great is her dismay that I've had to read them late at night, under the covers with a flashlight AND PRESCRIPTION GLASSES WHERE OH WHERE HAS MY YOUTH GONE to see the pages. And while I enjoy good, Miss Laura-approved literature, there are just times that I need to get my Cornwell on.

Oh and speaking of drive-thru windows as signature dishes, do you know Arby's has Jalapeno Poppers with a berry sauce (that is a little weird-tasting at first, but eventually you learn to get past it and even crave its odd-fruity sweetness) and you can get them in two sizes: small and LARGE and it's so hard to say "and one small order of jalapeno poppers" while ever fiber of your being is saying LARGE.

So yeah, I totally relate to Leigh-Ann. Even with the fluctuating sizes, give or take a *ahem* few.

Something random about yourself that even your mother doesn't know:  when I get depressed I DON'T eat.  I've obviously been very happy lately (the pic was taken in July)
Last time you wore a size 12:  I currently fluctuate between a 10 and a 12 now.
Last book you read: Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell
Your signature dish (include a recipe, please)drive-thru anyone?
Anything else you need to confess that can posted on the world wide web: I obviously live in a munchkin-infested area, because I'm considered a rather large person.  I prefer the term fluffy, and from reading this blog, and prettypear.com I've actually come to accept myself.  I'm now working out more, and dieting more, but only to get healthy (see signature dishes).  I've found more self-acceptance now than when I was a size 6. All that and brownies are just not safe around me.

Angel, jie jie, may I just say, "Bitch, please." How many times have we been over this? You + Betsy Johnson dresses = not fat. But yes, good, wonderful, radical self acceptance. Wo ai ni.

Also, who's the man in the picture? Cute. Blond. Andy?

Jalapeños and berry sauce? Sounds tasty, but I would rather eat crackers with jalapeño jam.

I live in LA and a 10 is fat here, so at 18W I'm a bi-ped hippo. As a Weightwatcher failure, I get so vexed (good word for the G-rated Web) by the 5-pound losers. They give their testimony about the horror of their lives prior to the lifesaving transformation that losing 5 pounds caused.

Get a life and buy a panty girdle!

Yup. That's Andy.

I want to be a Chubby Girl in spirit, even if seem to be meeting the minimum, and barely at that.
