Fat

"I've decided that I'm gonna get really fat. Just as a stop gap, just until I figure out another plan. Eat all of these muffins and I'm gonna get really gloriously fat!" --Addison

My entire life I have worked at being pleasing to the eye. When I was in middle school I would do anything to lose weight. In high school sports really kept me fit so I didn't have to worry about weight as much; so, then my focus went to my make up and hair. When I went to college I started trying different close and shoes...anything to make me appear more attractive. I have become as fashionable as a girl can be as a teacher in the Midwest.

My appearance wasn't the only thing I would "work on" to make me seem more attractive. My confidence (which is mostly real...not faking that all the time) was something I played off of to make people notice me more.

Ive worked so hard....and I'm still alone. It makes me think of Julia on "The Wedding Singer" when she says "What does pretty have to do with it?" So, I am gonna get fat! Maybe just to see what happens!

  1. You are only 24! You have many many years before you can truly count yourself as alone. Look at us girls pushing 30. You've got lots of time to find your lobster. :) In the mean time, soak up life and go and experience the world.
