Thank you! I’m really glad it resounds with people. I wish we could get over the fat shaming bullshit and just get on with… well, life!

Eloquent and precise, we need to stop giving words such powerful connotations. Fat does not mean “not beautiful”. I really have nothing else to add, but I loved this piece and the many comments that followed.

I always use ‘fat’ as just a fact, not a compliment or an insult. When it gets to where ‘big-boned’ is considered hurtful, politically correctitude has maybe taken a step too far…
