How to be a HFG on the beach

Summer is upon us and for most Fat girls this is a dreaded season. First you have to contend with the heat and lord knows heat is not a friend of the Fat girl. Then to make matters worse everyone expects you to go to the pool, lake, beach etc. So you have to go shopping for a bathing suit, which we all know is a chore because the selection available of bathing suits for Fat girls look like something most grandma's wouldn't wear.

Does this ring a bell:


I don't think even Angeline Jolie can make this look sexy. With all the odds stack against us how can we make the best of Summer and remain a HFG.

Well here are some surefire tips that will make Summer your favorite season.

• Find a good plus size woman's store. Now I can't stress this enough for the love of Yeshiva do not go to Bryant of Lane (you know what I'm talking about). Their collection is just sad and hella expensive. Go to the Ashely Stewart's, Rainbow, Dots, Torrid, Avenue, Cato, and even Walmart is coming up with some pretty good alternatives.
• Buy a really cute suit something that accentuate the boobs and yes the posterior. We minorities know the value of the a** and believe me a big one can be a really good thing. Be daring, if you find a suit that you like but you think you're to big to wear it, buy it.
• Buy a really comfy beach chair and an umbrella. It is too hot to be sitting on the sand and without shade. While I stress buying red clothing, looking like a lobster is not cute. So if your prone to burning please find some shade and some really good sunblock.
  
• Pack a cooler with some good food or if your Fat posse is with you bring grill to bar-b-que and have a party. Good food+Good friends=HFG
• Get in the water and swim. If you don't know how to take this summer to learn . It a very important skill to have and you may never know when you may need it. I love swimming because I feel weightless and free. It's a great feeling.
• Find a really good book or bring your MP3 and just veg out. Forget about everything and just enjoy the day.
  

Summer is at time of abundance and renewal so make a pledge to yourself that this summer will be the best of your life. Let go of all those negative thoughts that keep you from enjoying yourself and just be happy.
