Big-upping the fat girls

jen fu

Jen “jen fu” Larsen is a writer, editor, proofreader and interpretive dancer living for less on the outskirts of Salt Lake City. She had weight loss surgery in 2006 and lost almost 200 pounds. While she is still trying to figure out what that means in terms of health and body acceptance, she feels she’s been lucky to have experienced the full spectrum of weight and size issues on either end of the scale. If you put a gun to her head and said “chocolate or cheese?” she’d close her eyes very tight and say pull the trigger, man. Also she enjoys ponies, and writes about stuff and the business at jen larsen (dot net).

    Oooh, best response. I never thought of that as an option, but I am totally stealing it (with credit) next time someone poses me an impossible choice.
