F(l)abulous Me

I am on a stay-cation which means that I am foolish enough to stay at home even when I have the time to travel to interesting locations when the world around me is cribbing for a twenty four hour holiday from studies and work. Talk about irony of life.

A solo trip sounds so enticing, especially when I read about experiences o female travelers and I want to believe their verdict that it is relatively safe considering you don't act like a dunce and invite trouble. But the permission part from home and my own doubts about being on my own remains debatable.

Three months of warming the sofa and constant presence of food in the food cavity has resulted in a fatter me, though the effect is mostly visible on the cheeks. I am thankful for that since it makes my buck tooth less visible and not to forget it is good respite from being gaunt faced for so long. Also, it is a good cushion against illness since previously, I was at risk of disappearing owing to pounds I shed during the illness. Not any more!

I am loving this people of having people come up to me and saying that I have gained weight. This may surprise some but if you have spent all your life listening to people inquiring if I am sick on noticing my stick-thin figure, this is a welcome change. I recall one of those regular cat-fights on the train wherein the crowd was supporting me since an ungratefully moronic woman refused to let me space for fourth seat. Someone argued that I was size zero who took up minimum space and they sort of bullied her to adjust though that size zero thing stung me.

I am enjoying this experience of being plus sized since I know it is a short one. The reason being I have this amazing fat-burning power which kick starts once I start on some active work. For now, I am not at all missing the feeling of sitting uncomfortably on bony bums :)
