On the moon, weightless and free.
That's where I want to be.

There's too much emphasis on size and weight and looks today. I don't like it. Do you?
In space, floating high.
That's where I want to be.
That's where I want to be.
Magazines, TV, movies - hell, even the news! What chance do normal people have if all they see around them are stick figures and thin mints?
In a world where it doesn't matter what you weigh.
That's where I want to be.
That's where I want to be.
To be big and beautiful ... All plus-sized people should follow that, it's a good motto. So why isn't anyone placing the same emphasis on it as they do for the skinnies?
To be like Tracy Turnblad and Matron Mama Morton.
That's who I want to be.

You can't even be pretty and fat anymore. If you're not a six, no one notices beyond your neck. So what's the point of having a face like Nicole Kidman or Kiera Knightley if you're three, four times their size?
To be size twelve and beyond, and still be accepted.
That's who I want to be.
That's who I want to be.
Of course, there IS a difference between being huge and healthy, and being huge and UN-healthy. I condone the former, NOT the latter. It's one thing to be plus-sized and brimming with good health; it's another thing altogether to be obese with a body clogged with junk. So why aren't there people teaching us how to be proud of our weight AND stay healthy without forcing us to slim, slim, slim down until there's nothing left?
To be loved for who you are, and not what you look like.
That's who I want to be.
That's who I want to be.
I'm not plus-sized. But I'm definitely on the bigger end of the weight spectrum. Do I wish I was slightly thinner, of course. But am I embarrassed about my size, no way! I enjoy eating, I don't deny that. I'm not a fan of exercising, I don't deny that, either. But I dance, I play badminton, and I take the stairs at university instead of using the elevators all the time. Little things like that to keep healthy, even if they don't really shed off the pounds. So why does society make such a fuss about what I am on the outside when it's HOW I am on the inside that matters?
Such a sad, materialistic world.
Stop it from spinning,
I want to get off.

Good question.
I'm all about healthy people despite your size, too. Grab a can of soup and do bicep curls, dance around your kitchen. Easy stuff that makes you more active and brings a smile to your face. AND lets you act like a kid. How can you go wrong?
Exactly. I just don't see why weight has to matter. If you're a little on the heavy side and it shows, why should you be judged for it if you're healthy despite it?
Thanks for the comment. =D
