Cariboom!

So, I wanted to make a more realistic version of my character to float around FA.

I am fat, and have been this way ever since I can remember. I have never been the type to hide in a closet and eat a pack of cookies or whatever. My body likes to hold on to weight with an iron fist – ice age metabolism, I guess! I currently don’t eat any grains, but that is mostly to help a migraine problem (and it has helped a LOT!!). I lost 50 pounds a couple years ago and have held sorta steady. Compared to a HORRID video of me from 2000 when I was GOH at AC, I am down 100 pounds(!). Regardless, It’s not about the weight so much as about the comfort in your own skin.

I wanted to draw my character as a sexy, vibrant person who happened to be a pudge too. This is still an idealized form for me but… someday! At least I have great hair. :D

(I don’t know what is with the face she is making, but I thought it was cute!)
