I say, ‘I am fat.’&lt;br/&gt;
He says ‘No, you are beautiful.’&lt;br/&gt;
I wonder why I cannot be both.&lt;br/&gt;
He kisses me &lt;br/&gt;
hard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2.&lt;br/&gt;
My college theater professor once told me&lt;br/&gt;
that despite my talent,&lt;br/&gt;
I would never be cast as a romantic lead.&lt;br/&gt;
We do plays that involve singing animals&lt;br/&gt;
and children with the ability to fly,&lt;br/&gt;
but apparently no one&lt;br/&gt;
has enough willing suspension of disbelief&lt;br/&gt;
to go with anyone loving a fat girl.&lt;br/&gt;
I daydream regularly&lt;br/&gt;
about fucking my boyfriend vigorously on his front lawn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3.&lt;br/&gt;
On the mornings I do not feel pretty,&lt;br/&gt;
while he is still asleep,&lt;br/&gt;
I sit on the floor and check the pockets of his skinny jeans for motive,&lt;br/&gt;
for a punchline,&lt;br/&gt;
for other girls’ phone numbers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;4.&lt;br/&gt;
When we hold hands in public, &lt;br/&gt;
I wonder if he notices the looks —&lt;br/&gt;
like he is handling a parade balloon on a crowded sidewalk;&lt;br/&gt;
if he notices that my hands are now made of rope. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;5.&lt;br/&gt;
Dear Cosmo: Fuck you.&lt;br/&gt;
I will not take sex tips from you&lt;br/&gt;
on how to please a man you think I do not deserve.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;6.&lt;br/&gt;
He tells me he loves me with the lights on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;7.&lt;br/&gt;
I can cup his hip bone in my hand,&lt;br/&gt;
feel his ribs without pressing very hard at all.&lt;br/&gt;
He does not believe me when I tell him he is beautiful. &lt;br/&gt;
Sometimes I fear the day he does will be the day he leaves. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;8.&lt;br/&gt;
The cute hipster girl at the coffee shop &lt;br/&gt;
assumes we are just friends&lt;br/&gt;
and flirts over the counter.&lt;br/&gt;
I spend the next two weeks&lt;br/&gt;
mentally replacing myself with her&lt;br/&gt;
in all of our photographs.&lt;br/&gt;
When I admit this to him&lt;br/&gt;
we spend the evening taking new photos together.&lt;br/&gt;
He will not let me delete a single one of them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;9.&lt;br/&gt;
The phrase “Big girls need love too” can die in a fire.&lt;br/&gt;
Fucking me does not require an asterisk.&lt;br/&gt;
Loving me is not a fetish.&lt;br/&gt;
Finding me beautiful is not a novelty. &lt;br/&gt;
I am not a fucking novelty.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;10.&lt;br/&gt;
I say, ‘I am fat.’&lt;br/&gt;
He says, ‘No. You are so much more’,&lt;br/&gt;
and kisses me&lt;br/&gt;
hard.&lt;/p&gt;”</description><link>http://picturesthatmakemesmile.tumblr.com/post/32855725645</link><guid>http://picturesthatmakemesmile.tumblr.com/post/32855725645</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:02:15 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb3lv2LOp81r7byqqo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://picturesthatmakemesmile.tumblr.com/post/32855708853</link><guid>http://picturesthatmakemesmile.tumblr.com/post/32855708853</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:01:57 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3bae6maRT1qhzv6oo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://picturesthatmakemesmile.tumblr.com/post/32855697397</link><guid>http://picturesthatmakemesmile.tumblr.com/post/32855697397</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:01:44 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0ne28BaDf1r3e6reo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://picturesthatmakemesmile.tumblr.com/post/32855686270</link><guid>http://picturesthatmakemesmile.tumblr.com/post/32855686270</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:01:31 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
