M2H - Have you any Family Experiences or stories you wish to share?
Judy - My parents and brother are proud of who I am and what I am doing and have become my staunchest supporters and fans. But for a very long time, my parents worried about the fact that I was large, fearing health problems. It took me finding my voice and my love for myself to be able to talk to them about this. I made it clear that I needed them to accept me as is, because I got enough censure from the rest of the world. They've been great ever since. I don't think the worry has disappeared but at least it's not a bone of contention between us.
M2H - Any love and romance experiences?
Judy -
I've been lucky, really lucky in many ways. I've known incredible love and I've known what it was like to be adored and treated like a beautiful, desirable woman. Even though I have not yet found someone with whom to spend my life, I still consider that I have been blessed in the romance department. I'm a hopeful romantic and still think that even at my age I could meet my soul mate.
M2H - Sex – This is a very personal topic that you may skip if you wish. We'll leave this open ended. Any comments?
Judy - I think one of the biggest prevailing misconceptions about fat people is that we are not sexual beings. That of course, is absurd. I've been fortunate to have a couple of great relationships with true FA's over the years. Through them I saw the beauty of my body and gained confidence in my sensual self. I wish this same kind of awareness for all large people.
M2H - Any final thought you'd like to share?
Judy -
I would love to see a day when telling fat jokes is as abhorrent as using racial slurs.
All of us at More2Hug would like to sincerely thank Judy for being the first to participate in our "People of Substance" series. Stay tuned for more fantastic People of Substance participants in the near future!
