I have entered the 2k Blogger Contest!

2k Bloggers have a 2000th Blogger Essay Contest running. To enter, I had to write an essay explaining why I’d like to be added to the 2k Bloggers photo montage and directory. So tonight I wrote my entry. I will publish it, below, along with the picture of me I thought would be fitting for the montage…

Hi I am Flabuless and I am a Fatblogger!

I hear you’re looking for a fabulous blogger to take you to the 2k mark…Well, I can do you one better. I am a ‘flabuless’ blogger.

I may not be famous, I may not be rich, and my blog might not be the most well known in the blogosphere. However, I am a real kiwi (New Zealand) chick, a ‘wannabe’ diva with a mortgage, two kids, an InSinkErator, a size F bra cup, and at-least 60lbs which i would rather I didn’t have…GRRRR.

The way I understand what you are trying to do with this project is to represent a snapshot of bloggers from from different backgrounds, nations and a broad spectrum of interest areas.

For starters, I am the quintessential blogger, I do it for the love of it, not to primarily make a buck and, as far as UNIQUE goes you will not find anything quite like Finding Flabuless anywhere in the blogosphere. Aside from it being a up front and candid account of my personal weight loss/diet journey from ‘Flab’ to ‘Flabuless’ (I have lost 95lbs so far), it also showcases my unique brand of madness in my ‘Lighter Side of Large Cartoon Strip’ based on my experiences of life as a fat woman.

I have a slightly irreverent take on weight-loss and body image, and on my blog, nothing is sacred; not me, not my life and definitely not my flab…I have mastered the art of embarrassing myself, dismally, for all the world to see-that much is apparent in my FlabVlogs (ie videocasts)! But although my blog has only been ‘live’ since January this year, I must be doing something right cause, I have had over 7,000 Unique Visits and about 25% of them are now my faithful following…Hey, I cant help it that people LOVE me…

This is just the start for me, and very soon I will be replacing Oprah as the Prime Time Diva… for now, I am simply, Flabuless and I believe I represent a portion of the blogosphere that is not currently represented in your 2kbloggers.

This is why I believe you need my face there to liven things up and help people to learn to laugh at themselves again.

ok…so I am not at all modest…but you guys should know that by now…hehe! I had great fun writing it…now, lets see if I WIN! What do you think? Do I have a chance?
