Hi!
Natalie has been bugging me for some time to write a couple
of posts for her, so here I am! Mr C is finally taking the opportunity offered
to publish some of his thoughts.
There are many things that I could have written this blog
on, but unfortunately not many of those topics would have held much interest
for you guys – the loyal readers and followers. So I am going to keep my first
one quite simple - who am I and my experiences so far of living with a
plus size blogger.
Well, where to start? I am 30+ (cough cough) years old,
slightly hard of hearing and the day job is an Assistant Accountant working for
a Charity. I am plus size as well, have been for as long as I can remember,
well, give or take a few years of short term success of being fitter and
skinnier. Then again, even when I was exercising every day and doing pretty
much every sport (at one time or another in my life so far) ever invented I
have never been what people would now class as “normal” or “skinny”. To be
honest, my biggest problem was that even though I would do lots of sport I also
enjoyed food too much, still do to be honest. I can go months without any
Alcohol and have never so much as taken a solitary puff on a cigarette or
anything. BUT, food………………. Ahhhhhh food – my everlasting friend that hates my
waistline but helps me feel better when I need a pick me up. If only chocolate
and crisps weren’t so blooming tasty and so good at making me feel better! Oh
well, a little bit of exercise probably wouldn’t go amiss in my middle aged
years either, but that is another discussion for another day.
I met Natalie nearly 8 years ago now. We have been engaged
and living together now for nearly 7 years. When she decided to start the
blogging I had no idea just how important it would become to her. Many are the
evenings & weekends that are spent taking, and finding new locations for,
photos and listening to her tip-tap away on her laptop. Not that I complain,
this gives me time to play on my PS3 and X-Box etc to my hearts content –
except when I am called in to action as the (unpaid) photographer. We do have
some fun taking the photos though and have tried to incorporate these in to our
trips out. I can honestly say that she gets a huge amount of pleasure from
writing the blogs and whenever she gets a nice comment left on her blog or on
twitter, well, she almost explodes with happiness. It does seem crazy that the
300 blog mark has come and gone already. To those of you who have entered the
competition, Good Luck, a lot of time and thought was put in to getting
(hopefully) the right prizes and we both sincerely hope the winners enjoy what
they receive.
Natalie has talked me in to doing a couple of blogs over the
next few days. I won’t say what on, but I will explain why. The first reason is
she had been bugging me anyway to do a couple of posts from a blokes point of
view of being plus size. The second, and why there will be a few this week,
including this one, is that she will be unfortunately doing loads of overtime
due to work commitments this week. Normal service will be resumed though and
whether I make this a semi-regular thing going forward or not will depend on
the reaction my posts get from you out there in blog-land.
Thanks for reading!
Mr C.
