It didn't take me long to find online dating websites. The three sites that I signed up for are LargePassions, BBWRomance and BBWDating. So I got my pics ready which was a bitch because I have most of them at my job. Some are a bit outdated and I wished I had more to choose from but I am not that photogenic. I just hate pictures of myself...anyway, one picture I posted was from my cousin's birthday party in October 2009 that was at a club. It's a group picture so I am in the photo with my girlfriends and I was wasted. I laugh because I look good in that picture and I don't even remember taking it. The other picture was also sometime in 2009 so they aren't super outdated, it's just that my social life has slowed down. That's part of the problem. Nobody wants to go out anymore. Happy hours have dried up and most of my friends either live in NY or are officially old ladies. No more clubs, no more happy hours, no more staying out til 5 and I am bored. So I am really counting on this online dating to bring a little excitement to my life.
Then it's time to write my profile and write another one and then another. I was changing my profile every other day like it was a Facebook Wall. It was really getting ridiculous. Just this morning, I saw a sign on a storefront that said they sold the authentic Top Gun jacket and I just busted out laughing. I couldn't imagine who the hell would buy that unless it was Halloween and I immediatly thought I needed to update my BBWDating profile. That's when I decided to start this blog. So later on, I will post some of my my online dating profiles. I have to warn you, there are a lot. If you actually read them, I would love to hear what you think?

Acceptance
I have been rocking a size 14 for about two years and I have not been too happy about it. The last two times I tried a fitness challenge and diets I wound up gaining weight. So when I saw the movie City Island starring Andy Garcia, I learned that there are men out there that dig big girls and that's when it happened. I had an epiphany -- I would never diet again. Hallelujah -- no more counting calories, writing down everything that I eat, grocery lists of fat free foods and now I can drink alcohol and buffalo wings when I go out.
So then my quest to learn more about BBW began. At first I thought the acronym stood for "Big Black Women" then I learned it stood for "Big Beautiful Women." I have to be honest, I don't really care for the term. Even though I am big, I don't like to call myself big. I guess I am really a skinny girl in a fat girl's body. So it is taking a while for me to accept the body jiggles but with acceptance comes.... you know I really don't know what comes with acceptance but I am open to just about anything. So, I am not ugly and I am all excited about finding a man that loves all of my curves. But hold up, I'm not sure if I am really a BBW. My friends say that I am not a BBW but my sisters agree that my ass is big. So I am going to do the unthinkable: I am going to post my stats. Yes, I know, I'm a brave one but I don't give a fuck since this is all for the sake of my self education. Taking a deep breath before I type this: I am 5"4" (just a smidgen taller but not sure by how much) and I weigh 186 lbs and I wear a size 14. So I would like to hear from BBW Admirers. You tell me, what do you consider to be a BBW. And all of the BBW ladies out there, I want to hear from you too. Am I a poser or the real thang?
