Theo, great job!
I love the vulneraiblity in your response, your self-reflection skills are showing.
I love Allison Tunis’s work on fatphobia, and for folks in Alberta there isa group on facebook called Fatties of Yeg that if you are fat (small fat or large fat) you can join. Its amazing.
I would add that body size is morally neutral.
That we are not our bodies. Our bodies are just the suit we wear, and they change over time, and often those changes are out of our scope of control-that we are allowed to be fat and still enjoy food for pleasure, that we are allowed to be fat and not focus on exercise. That being fat is not something we need to apologize for.
