Typing into a room full of strangers
20 years… 20 YEARS of dieting, struggling, fighting to take control of body.
20 years of fat phobic doctors.
20 years of fatigue, body pain, struggling with clothing, feeling like a spectacle, having to apologize for my hips on every aircraft, fear every chair I sit in, watch people look me up and down, listening to others comments, unsolicited advice, not wearing shorts, overheating in the summer because I won’t show my arms or legs, of apologizing for my body…of failing to lose the weight and keep it off.
