Many people have told Dawn French, both in person and anonymously online, that she is too fat, but as far as she is concerned, her weight is not a problem.
In a candid interview published in the September issue of The Australian Women's Weekly, the 55-year-old comedienne explains that as long as she can walk, swim, work and make love to her new husband, the number that appears on the scales doesn't matter.
If I Can Have Secks I'm Not Too Fat
"I have always been a fat woman," says Dawn, matter-of-factly. "There have been periods of my life when I have been fatter or thinner, but essentially, I've been a fat person all my life. And I have always owned that. I have never had a problem with it.
"Without being cocky, I always thought I deserved to be loved properly and only by someone who really deserved me. Just because I am a fat girl doesn't mean I don't deserve the same happiness as every other woman or cannot make good choices about my life. And this isn't the case for a lot of big women. I have discovered and was very shocked by just how damaged is the self-esteem of many larger women."
I just love her big smile and her bubbly personality...
