Being Fat
Other than by a very young person, I have never been asked why I’m fat. I almost preferred being asked this question by a child because it was honest, as opposed to that once-over, that wondering if I’m pregnant, or that look of disdain, quietly implying that I have a lack of self-control or have let myself go. There are many reasons as to why I am a fabulously curvy individual, some within my “control”, others not. I will share them here in my own time, but my point is that we are all living healthy/unhealthy lifestyles to one degree or another, and I am tired of feeling ashamed. I have been round since I was a child, and it’s time that I embrace that little girl who just wanted to live her best life. I see you, and I’m here for this.
