I'm a fat mum in my early 40s. AMA
I'm a woman in my early 40s, a mum, married, and quite unapologetically fat (5'3, 264lbs). I've been overweight most of my life, but I've gotten considerably bigger over the last decade. Pregnancy certainly didn't help, and neither did the combination of working, raising kids, and being permanently tired. I really am at the point where I don't really know what else to call myself besides fat. I'm not using it as an insult toward myself, either. It's just a description. I'm a fat woman; I have a large stomach, wide hips, thick thighs, and a fairly big bum. So I figured I'd do an AMA because I'm curious what people actually want to know about the day-to-day reality of being a larger woman in her 40s.
Obviously, I reserve the right to ignore anything obviously creepy or unnecessarily rude. Otherwise, ask me anything.
