And one day there was a mass breakout of thin women.
In shops, on street corners,
Yes it was hard work, but no pain no gain.
Skirts were shorter, tops were tighter,
Nights were longer, voices were louder,
Men were shallower, but more frequent.
Confident? Yes, but
What had they done with my fat friends?
These weren’t the same women.
They talked of my friends as jailers,
Jailers who were fat, and nothing else, keeping them at bay.
My friends were never smug,
They were never loud or abrasive,
They didn’t believe that looks were all and,
Most important, they never put me down.
A couple of months of rigid dieting will soon put you right.
You know what they say:
Inside every fat woman is a thin woman trying to get out.
Their most attractive features
(Their hearts, their souls, their loyalty) had gone, and yet
They were better liked, by some.
I can’t believe one of those skinny bitches is trying to get out of me.
I’m fat, and good, and kind, and sincere, and I don’t believe
There’s any other woman inside me,
Any better body, or anybody better.

This isn’t about anybody or anything in particular. It is not intended to be a slur on anyone. It is simply my entry into the poetry category of
 ’s cliché contest. The cliché, obviously: Inside every fat woman there’s a thin woman trying to get out. |

With your heart, can you take me
With your heart, can you break me
With your heart, can you forsake me,
With your heart can you make me.
The world is going crazy, so the more insane you are, the easier it is.
Stereotypes are stupid.
It's kind of beside the point, and maybe even undermines it a little, but I must remind you that there are men who like big women for their bodies.

As for the story as a whole, it's cleverly written and incredibly fresh -- your narrator is accepting of herself without being whiny or holier-than-thou (well, maybe a little holier-than-thou, but appropriately so given her situation). You speak with dignity and unvarnished honesty instead of the hollow self-righteousness often found when someone with less talent attempts the same sort of story. So awesome.
