So I’m working on this paper for school, actually I’ll call it a project because that seems less daunting and academic. From my first run in’s with all this body image stuff, lots of things have held tension for me. Eating, hunger and weight loss are particularly (obviously) hot spots. After a couple years of dealing with [...]

Fat people no longer may dine in public…. hmmm…. privilege is the word I’m looking for… maybe we should make fat people walk everywhere too. No car buying for them. And I think we should hanging signs with the letter “F” around their necks.

First off, thank God that I have the amazing boyfriend that I do. He is willing to argue (debate?) with me, but in the end we usually know its not that important. And he’s got a great mind, even though I’ll admit to snarkily using it to gain a sexist perspective (that is not an [...]
