The patience of a BIG plus sized lady....read on.

The patience of a big, (fat) plus sized lady is simply limitless,amazing and out of this world
It has been tested, stretched, abused, beaten so many times yet it's trusted.

From trying to squeeze those laps into the skinny jeans that designers of the day chose to punish us with, pulling, adjusting, stretching, kicking the air, jumping up and down to wear the damn jeans will make a perfect gymnast out of them.

To people who are obviously older than you, greeting you, forming yeye respect, addressing you as Ma, aunty, big aunty, madam, maama, Ma'am, even though they can mother you for two lifetimes. (Their okuko igbo body deceiving them)

When a bus conductor tell you hoohaa, Madam abeg this space no go reach you, or an empty bus zoom pass you afraid to pick you.

When you go shopping for cloth and find out jumpsuits your size is thrice the normal size ( they associate big body with big purse)

The frustration when you see a cloth you so much love, and ask the boutique woman to bring it down, and she look you straight in the eye to say it won't enter your bust, they don't have your size, you insist is your size, the cloth brought down only to find out your arms no enter sef. (The boutique woman's face with the expression "I told you so)

The zillions of people adding you on facebook just to sell slimming this or that. (wait make I go East, na Okija shrine I go take una names go)

Watching the love of your life probably an Igbo guy explaining to the mother that yes she is the one I want to marry and NO she is not my landlords wife, the wicked landlady. (The woman go summon Umunna join for the case)

Going on a date with a guy who will take you strolling and carefully avoiding fast food joints thinking you will order even the manager If allowed inside. (Una go trek from costain reach palmgroove sef)

Being mistaken for a sugar mummy even when you are struggling on your own

Guys on facebook gets serious with you just for phone sex, or to reassure themselves their toasting skills is still intact

Everyone has an opinion on how to live your life, the advice is endless, don't eat this, eat that.

My auntys mother inlaw still maintain the belief that my aunty "finished" her sons money, I was big when her stupid son married me, am even lesser now, is it not better I expose her darling son to her, maybe the shock will keep her quiet, you get time I always tell my aunty, leave her let her kontinue assuming.

Guys before you introduce that big girl to your people and watch her being embarrassed, please make sure they know you like big girls, rub it on their faces, so that when finally you introduce her they won't start saying she tied you for one babalawo house,(as if your head fit carry am)  don't let your mother make that silly comment for her presence after you will preach to love your mother (if I hear!)

Dating a guy who claims he loves you but always make fun of your size with his friends at your absence (na Amadioha go settle the matter)

Trying hard to make people focus less on the quantity of your flesh but on the content of your brain

Last evening on my way home I stopped at the bus stop to buy suya, knowing I won't enjoy it that much when I get home, I decide to eat half on top of bike, to my surprise another bike with his passenger was behind me laughing, I never paid much attention to them, the bike man drove close to my own bike, then called out" Aunty we are debating here whether or not you can finish one full chicken,my passenger is sure you can, so I decide to ask, can you finish one chicken" the said passenger was having so much fun, he said "i know you can finish a whole chicken with the way you are eating on top of bike" only in Nigeria!

Like I always say, the world of a plus sized lady is alway fun, joy, happiness, our big chest is already occupied by the two head lamps there, we have no space for bitterness,grudges, malice, regret and unpleasantness.
We easily forgive and forget.
We have a large heart!
