My PLUMP Story: A Life Full Of Chubby, Sweet Goodness!

 This is me when I was 21. Yup, chubby but I believe I have good skin. A lot of girls envy me because I look younger than them. Do you even know how old I am? I just turned a year old this month! :D

 College was a time where I met lots of handsome and interesting men. The guy in the middle was my ultimate college crush or maybe even object of my fantasies. I know. I am guilty of lusting over men 'cause humans are earthly beings. We all succumb to our sinful desires and it is often that we do.

I am a fan of amusement parks. The scarier the ride and the higher the roller coaster, the better. My friends and close relatives are aware that I fear heights and even water sometimes when the pool or beach is too deep but there's just something about them that still fascinates me enough me to try it. After all, when I am a grandma I might not be able to enjoy these activities so I am enjoying them the most while it is still possible.


No need for introductions if you aren't new to my blog but for the noobs, hello! :)
I am Carissa or as others fondly call me, Cara which means "beloved" or "face"; depending which language you speak. I was named after a friend of my mom or so she says. I never knew my name is actually very common. There are two other girls among my clique with the same name and spelling of the name as mine.

I decided to share with you how I have to come celebrate a life filled with chubby, sweet goodness.
Being raised and born into a family with a history of heart disease, diabetes and even hyperthyroidism, I became aware of the health risks I might get if I don't start to love my body. I was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder 15 years ago and have been taking maintenance medication bought over the counter as prescribed by a physician. You can say I live a boring life but I say boring as it is, I am contented with it now. Before I used to complain that others have more than I do yet I actually am rich in non-monetary denominations.

All my life I was on the heavy side. I was not a bouncing baby girl; my younger sister was the heaviest among us three. Recently my mom, my sister and I met my mom's attending obstetrician at GAP, Alabang Town Center branch and she asked my mom if she already has grandkids. Well, nope.
That would mean I should have married seven years ago for me to give them a six-year-old grandchild. I am newly single, having broken up with a guy I wasted six years of adulthood on.

 My college graduation photo! I graduated

from Asian Institute for Distance Education with a bachelor's degree in Arts major in English on the 2nd day of May in the year of our Lord 2014.

A happy moment with my only brother Angelo at Glico's.

Here are my recent photos:

From 195 to 174 pounds now with only video game consoles, dog walking, running and dancing to help me burn the calories then here is how I look:

TAN TA NA NAN!

So yes. I am a plump pinay. PROUD OF IT and I shall treat it as an honor to be one. Same as body love advocates Danah and Stacy of http://theplumpinay.com.
