Oh, what a world! What a world! You get this lovely, svelt, young body & then it's all ripped away from you with the wonders of motherhood! My grandma likes to tell me this ass is part of my gene pool.... well guess what? I don't give in so easy... I've never done anything else I was supposed to do, why should I let a little thing like genetics stop me?

This was orignally a personal weight loss journal, but some friends expressed an interest in creating a community where we can share & vent on our weight loss journey together. So, I give you the fat girls community! I am pnkrkgrrl, your moderator. If you have questions or concerns you can email me at pnkrkgrrl@yahoo.com

1. So, ummm... what's with that name, anyway?
   Clementina the Flying Pig is a book about a little pig that grows wings & soars through the heavens. My great-grandmother read it to me for many, many years & I just love it! If I've gotta be a pig, I'd prefer to be Clementina!



2. Why do I need your permission to join?
   Because, this is LJ land, I've seen the sort of trash that lurks around LJ land. I really don't need some asshole or little brat with too much time on their hands coming in here & posting bullshit about unrelated topics or telling any of us here how fat we are (we already know that, thankyaverymuch!), or any crap like that. **ALSO, PLEASE NOTE... I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOU INTO THE COMMUNITY UNLESS YOU FIRST EMAIL ME AT THE ADDRESS ABOVE STATING WHO YOU ARE & WHY YOU WISH TO JOIN. ALSO, IF A MEMBER REFERRED YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHO (LJ USER NAME, PLEASE) & GIVE ME YOUR LJ NAME SO I'LL KNOW WHO I NEED TO APPROVE/DENY.**



3. What's the purpose of this community?
   Support, motivation, a place to vent, or even just a place to keep track of your own exercise & eating habits. Post about whatever you want, as long as it is relevant to your weight loss experience. If your shitty day at work or your fight with your spouse got you so worked up that you want to go down a pint of Ben & Jerry's... well, then I'd say that venting your anger/frustration/depression here IS relevant! Let's just try to make sure that we stay on topic & not get off track.

1. Your first post should be an introduction to the group. Tell us a little bit about who you are, why you're joining, & what your weight loss goals are. Also, if you've already begun your journey, share a little of that with us... what are you doing. Food? Exercise? Etc?
   
2. No spamming! None! This is not the place to promote your new community or anything of the sort.


3. No flaming. Why do it? It's just stupid & I won't tolerate it. So don't! K? You'll get banned quicker than shit!


4. Be supportive of one another. We're all in this together. Just because someone else has less to lose than you do doesn't make their struggle any less painful or relevant!


5. Encourange one another. We all need all the help we can get!


6. Try to avoid straying too far off topic.


7. Be respectful. Insults & rude behaviour will not be tolerated!
