"We're Having a Heat Wave! A Tropical Heat Wave!"

Many parts of North America and Europe are suffering through a heat wave right now. 

I say suffering because I'm not one of those people who LOVE the heat. In fact, I'm one of those people who HATE the heat. I'm one of those people who want to punch those people who LOVE the heat in the nose. Not punch them hard, just...okay, punch them hard. 

I'll let you in on a little secret. I know this will be hard for you to believe.  Being 300 + pounds makes you a lot HOTTER than your average 115 pound; beach body, bikini wearing; gotta-take-a-sweater-cause-the-air-conditioning-is-too-cold; pretty little thing. 

Not that I'm bitter or anything.  

But I recently saw THIS on the Internets: 

And I get it. I get the joke. And even, to a  certain extent, can agree with it. Some people do take the opportunity of a heat wave to wear as little as possible. 

But here's the thing. I think that at 300 pounds, wearing a bikini in a heat wave IS dressing for the body I have. I'm wearing VERY little because I can. I come with my own insulation. My thin sisters should of course pack on the sweaters and coats if they find the air conditioning too cool. But I'm good. This bikini allows for optimum cooling of my overweight, overly hot, body. If I was dressing for the body I want, I would be huddled up in a sweater saying, "Ooh! It's SO chilly in here. Can we shut off the air conditioning?"  

(Btw, the answer to that is ALWAYS no! Put on another sweater!!)

I am; of course, joking. The chances of me EVER being at home enough in my body (no matter what it's size) to wear a bikini, is pretty much zero to nil. 

And I realize that some people have internal thermometers that have very little to do with their size and no two people will EVER agree with on what the correct temperature of a room should be.  

But maybe, when you see a fat woman showing off her back fat in a tank top that is too small for her, cut her some slack. She's slowly melting away into nothingness and is SO hot she feels like she's going to puke at any moment.  

Or she just thinks she's rockin' that look. In which case...well, still give her a break. Why the heck do you care what she's wearing? 

Don't like it? Don't look. :)
