10 Annoying Facts About Being the ‘Fat’ Friend

Ever since I've been little, I've always been the 'Fat Friend.' 

Yeah, it's not a good feeling and it's really shitty, so I decided to write about the 10 perks of being the fat friend to help make me feel better. 

1. Being a Constant Sarcastic Twat.
Because that's literally all you have going for you.

2. Standing Behind Everyone Else in Photos  

Because you don't want to show the rest of the world how much of a beach whale you actually are. Then for some unknown reason, the photos your friends post make you look even worse than you do in real life because you're blinking and somehow a leg manage to slip its way in the photo. 

3. Offering to Take The Group Selfies
Just because you know what angle to have the photo so that your double chin isn't popping out, but then they post the worst photo anyway. 

4. Never Having to Worry About People Borrowing Your Clothes.

Because you're the fat friend and Stacey won't be able to fit in your clothes... unless she wants to look like a bin bag, and you don't need to worry about borrowing others clothes, unless you want to look like, erm... this.

5. "Hey! So you're really funny, I like you...  is your friend single?"

Look... you're not the first and you're certainly not the last guy/girl that has tried to hook up with my friends. No need to try and sweeten me up.  Boo-bye. 

6. When Your Friends Talk About How 'Fat' They Are. 

Try being my size for a day, huh?! This actually doesn't even bother me that much, everyone has a size they don't like being and if your friends have put on a few pounds and they don't like it, don't let it bother you. You're not comfortable being your size, and they aren't comfortable being the size they've gotten. At least now you can have an exercise buddy! 

7. The Fear of The Gym.

Aye, you know what I'm talking about. The fear that everyone at the gym will make fun of you. Well, try not to think like that. Just remember, everyone's there for the same reason - to make themselves healthier. 

8. The Compliment That's Low-key an Insult.

"Oh you have such a pretty face!" GIRL WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE?! 

9. CHUB RUB!

Not many people understand this and it's hard af to explain. It's a mix between death and walking down the stairs to hell. IT'S NOT GOOD. When your friend needs a minute to recover from this deathly thing, LET THEM!

10. YOU'RE STILL BEAUTIFUL!

In the words of Gaga "I'm beautiful in my way...(skips a few lyrics)... I WAS BORN THIS WAY!" No matter how un-confident you feel, just remember that you will always be beautiful no matter what. It may not feel like that, but when your friends tell you how good you look, how pretty you are... LISTEN! You're on the right track baby, you was born that way! ;)

GO OUT THERE AND BE CONFIDENT YOU SEXY MOFO. 

All my love,
