Not to pick on fat people and the obese, but one of you broke my chair! 

So, this is a good time to share a few fat people rules from the perspective of an average sized image consultant and style coach. Again, not trying to be mean to the fat or obese, but its important that you know this.

Before we go any further,  remember, I am an image consultant, my goal is to help people achieve their goals AND I do work with a number of large statured people i.e. fat people.  For fat people, my job is to help others see past your size and look at who you really are.

Now, stop whatever it is you're doing and read this, my intention is to be helpful.

First, no matter how fat you are (including obese) please do not look like you gave up on yourself because if you do, other people will give up on you. If you look like you don't care, we won't care.

Second, being healthy is a powerful image impression.  Unless you are dealing with a Black Widow, everyone wants someone who looks healthy, so do everything you can to look healthy i.e. grooming, clothes that fit, colors that help you look healthy and attention to detail.

Third, you know you are fat so please be prepare for yourself at work, at home and as a guest.  Bring what you need where ever you go so that you and the people around you are comfortable and at ease.

Now, about my CHAIR, if you are fat or obese and are visiting others, be respectful of your host's hospitality.  For example, most chairs cannot accommodate  more than 250 lbs. BUT, you already know this ... Your host may not.  

Finally, what's the harm in bringing your own fold up chair?  Nothing, and you shouldn't be shy about it and your host will appreciate it.Not to mention, dining rooms chairs are expensive!

Its small things like this that help you "fit" into the the average sized world. I have plenty of more tips and advice for fat people, so pick up the phone, I'm here to help.
