Laughter. What a cause. What a cure. We had to do it – create an empowering society of B FABs (Beautiful Fat Ass Babes) that are fully committed to huge amounts of fun. The B FAB movement has begun, and big fat belly laughs for one and all are our goal.
Laughter is critical to well being for a number of reasons. Without humor what would we do when we see big clown feet, squirting flower lapels, and big fat asses? Yes, BFAs (Big Fat Asses) are meant to be laughed at, especially when you are the owner and operator of that fine piece of equipment. If you let yourself think about it, isn’t it funny that for years the size of your ass in a pair of jeans has been running your life? Isn’t it funny in an airplane seat how you have to flap like a goose to get up out of your tiny coach seat from hell? Can we get a big guffaw for all the times you looked for just the perfect sweater to luxuriously drape over your bountiful backside only to find out that you may have just hidden your ass under so much fabric that you now resemble Omar the Tentmaker.
This is not a mixed message. This is our way of pushing home the fat point that being serious, sad and mad at the state of affairs in the rear is a gosh darn waste of time. Not only that, depression and misery over your beefy bod’ will only make you eat even more and be even less healthy. Let’s look at the facts; laughter actually does heal. Did you know, according to WebMD, that laughing heartily 100 times a day gives the same cardio results as working out for 20 minutes? Buy a joke book and ditch the treadmill for god sakes!
Here’s the deal you can’t think and laugh at the same time. It’s like trying to keep your eyes open when you sneeze. The more you laugh, the more you want to. And if you are around other people laughing – it LL just keeps multiplying upon itself. (Sound contagious? It is.) When we laugh we give up our egos and see our own humanity and the humanity of others. Did you know there is even such a thing as laughter clubs?
What, you ask, is a laughter club? It’s a group of people who meet to laugh together, every week, in a public place. There is no formal structure just an anchor laugher who orchestrates the event. A session might include simulated laughter and techniques mixed in with stretching and breathing. You can simulate laughter and still get the same good results in the body like a real laugh. (Great, now there’s something else we can fake.) Laughter Yoga is now a worldwide movement, bringing about attitudinal changes to help us all live in peace and harmony. There are now more than 1,300 laughter clubs in India, USA, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, Malaysia and Dubai.
Hey, B FAB’s, let’s unite! While the B FAB Society isn’t exactly a laughter club we do think that there will be a heck of a lot of healthy laughter going on. What we are creating with the B FAB Society is a self acceptance and self celebration society. Let’s laugh at our predicament and then let’s reinforce for each other how wonderful we are just exactly as we are – fat asses and all!
Let’s try this self acceptance thing – self loathing didn’t work…what if this does? How about letting a big fat laugh rip about our wretched pasts? If you laugh, your ass will not blow away, we promise you. The news all around the world really sucks these days and it’s as if we’re afraid to be jovial selves. Hey, what if the cure for a new future could be found in giving up dieting and stopping all the complaining about our weight and the weight of the world for just a bit? Try it on. You don’t have to have a great sense of humor. Borrow your great aunt Sadie’s cacophonous laugh for the night, find some friends, BREATHE, laugh and call a B FAB girlfriend to tell her how great she is.
