Pleasantly abstruse.
Inspired by an exchange between three posters in the heavily threadjacked "irresponsible fat woman on a bus" thread, I am moved to ask this question.
I'm not being judgmental, I'm honestly curious. Why are you fat and what does that mean to you?
I'm fat because I chose to take my mom's toxic thoughts about food and body image to heart. Am I blaming her? Nope. That was her issue, not mine. It was my choice to stuff my face, she didn't force that food down my throat.
What does it mean to me? I'm pretty sanguine about it these days. Yeah, it almost killed me. The operative word is "almost." Even though I had weight loss surgery and I lost a bunch of weight, I'm still fat. And you know, that's okay. At my current size my health is stable. I don't want to be skinny. I'd like to lose a few more pounds to improve my health (stability is good, improvement is better), but I'm not that fussed over it.
