You don’t think much of yourself. You complain about your weight. You don’t think I could love you. But, you make those early mornings bearable. You transform long lectures into a party. You turn my bad days into laugh riots. I’m glad you exist. —Coffee and tea

  2. HEY!

    Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts were fat and they rocked!

    The dwarfs in snow white were fat…

    Sulley and Mike from Monster’s inc…

    Mr Potatohead and the piggy coin bank…

    Whinny the Pooh is rather portly….

    Patcha from Emp’s new groove was awesome….

    Baloo from Jungle book….

    I could go on but I think I’ve made my point.

  3. Tell this one to the person’s face. They probably really need to hear this. Sometimes all poor self-esteem needs is a kind word like this one.

  4. “complaining about weight” doesn’t necessarily mean fat, fyi 😉

    As a flat-chested and scrawny teen.. i remember always complaining about my weight. But not because i was fat 🙂

  6. Cogsworth was stout and Mrs. Potts was matronly;
    The dwarfs were chubby and cuddly rather than fat;
    Sully was ball shaped–no rolls there and Mike was buff–his fur made him look soft;
    Mr Potatohead…well, yes…he should lay off the starch a bit, and Pig was exactly the body shape he should be;
    Whinny the Pooh is rather portly…yes;
    Patcha…don’t know…only seen the movie as I walked by it and my kids watching it;
    Baboo, unlike Winnie, was more than portly, it’s true, but Winnie was a brown bear and Baboo was more like a grizzly.
    Now, the Caterpillar in Alice in W. had quite a few rolls, but that tends to happen when you’re on the hookah.
    Of course, the princesses gained a bit once they settled into the happily-ever-after:

  7. I have to agree – and I always thought it was Clocksworth? I thought it was because he was a clock….same as Ms Potts – teapot – lumiere – and so on. You learn something new every day.

    There’s not a lot of woman who are comfortable in their own skin…No matter what my weight is I always think I’m chubby.

  10. While OP states all the virtues of the person in question, they never actually comfirm whether or not they would “love” them the way they think they won’t love them.

    It’s one thing to say someone’s great and stuff, but there’s a HUGE difference between thinking they’re great and thinking they’re dating material and for most larger girls, personality, in the end, isn’t enough to seal the deal. So what you have is a “I think you’re great, but, let’s just be friends, k?” cop out.

  17. You know, zed, talking about outside conversations you have with a LTWWBer on the bitch board is mean and confusing, mister! Especially since we all want to know what RC’s naming the little one!

    You’re a cruel, cruel man!

  20. Wow Z3…hitting a little below the belt there aren’t you? I just spent 2 hours at a fatal heart exam to come to work & have you make fun of my little man to be. I hope you’re happy….you put me in tears.

    & I’ll take your sandwich any time I damn well please!

  24. Miss Pain…. Z3 is making fun of my boy in the belly!!!!

    Z3…no tears were shed over your meanness! & I don’t write bitches…only loves. Also it would be a pretty unfair fight because I’m too sensitive…where as you sometimes lack in the sensitivity area.

    Also I wouldn’t want to make you say something you’d regret BF’s Forever…..lol

  38. It’s planned for the end of July – start of August right? I’m out of commission from June 1 – July 30th. So August 5 or 6th would be nice if we’re planning for a weekend – but it’ll be summer and the Keg is always packed so we can even make it a Monday or Tuesday….depending on if we’re planning drinks and dancing at the lower deck afterwards.
    I’ll be there for sure! – I already know what I’m going to order for diner 🙂
