Cottage Cheese Thighs

I'm all curves. I take pride in my "L.A face with an Oakland booty" frame. You all know I ain't to keen on my legs from a prior blog (found here.) Today my brother called me "cottage cheese thighs" *rolls eyes* I was soooooo hurt *rolls eyes again* For those of you who don't get my sarcastic humor, it really didn't phase like it would have a year ago. I ain't even trying to have that negative mentality around me, especially if its coming from a little 17 year old shithead who knows nothing about life just yet. But I started thinking, whats so wrong with having cottage cheese on my thighs. Nothing. I have hips, ass and thighs and cottage cheese just comes with the territory with anyone who is built thicky-thicky-thick-thick like me. Even the most thinnest women I know have cottage cheese thighs! Sure it may not be visible as it would be on a thicker woman, but its still there. And Hello! Tyra Banks even has owned up to her cottage cheese.

So lets rewind 7 days: I was in the restroom and woman approached me and said, "I just have to tell you I wish I had you figure." She was bigger than me and I just smiled. Not because I was flattered, okay maybe a little, but I was more happy that another woman pushed her pride aside and gave another woman a compliment. Ladies tend to have the hardest time complimenting each other. I know this, because I am a woman myself. Though it wasn't up until last year I decided I'm going to start complimenting other women. And I do. If I like what that woman is wearing or how she looks, I compliment her. So I know when that woman approached me to tell me she wished she had my figure, I knew that took balls.

Okay flash forward to today at Subway for dinner: I was sitting down with my food and a rather large woman, estimated weight in my mind: 500 pounds, just stared at me. A constant creepy stare. I got the feeling of , "I can see your cottage cheese thighs and you shouldn't be wearing shorts." So I stared back at her because it honestly didn't phase me what the woman thought. But then I got the feeling that she was admiring me in some weird twisted way. I felt like turning around and saying, "Do you have a problem?!" but I also wanted to turn around and say, "I love your eye shadow!" just so I can show her that to compliment another woman rather than staring at her in a creepy way, that it will feel good. Though I just acted unphased. She's judging either you look at it and I hope one day she realizes that judging others only makes you heart heavier than it should be.

Its taken me a whole year to look at my stretch marks and cottage cheese and say, "So what!"I have had NO complaints from the men whom I choose to love me down and no qualms from the men who check me out and drool over me like Ima piece of carne asada. And truth be told...Real men appreciate a woman with real curves. I think some women need to push their jealous ways aside and just compliment another sista. I also think when a woman hears "cottage cheese thighs" she needs to take that ish as a damn compliment. A woman's cottage cheese and stretch marks are just proof that she's REAL.
And I rather be real than fake.


P.S: The picture above is NOT me...I have balls but not HUGE ones...plus I have tattoos on my back...So yeah. Not me.
