Julie Burchill is fat, so what
Julie Burchill writes, I'm fat. So what? "My friend, because she's single, self-disciplined and hard-working, has lost loads of weight and now looks quite like Reese Witherspoon. Me, because I'm smugly attached, terminally self-indulgent and bone idle, I've lost half a stone in the whole two years and still look quite like the After photograph in an imaginary and self-defeating advert demonstrating the effect of too many Reese's Peanut Butter Cups on the middle-aged female human body. But we are equally happy with our progress, for different reasons. My friend's happy because she can get into size 12 jeans; I'm happy because I'm still only a size 18."
Julie Burchill is fat and happy to be fat. I'm a short man and stuck with my height. Most women prefer tall men and most women will never date men shorter than them. Women respect and value tall men more than short men. Mills and Boon indeed.
Julie Burchill is happy to be fat. I hate being short.
