And it's still hard, because I'm surrounded by images that say I'm not okay. And it's very very hard to believe you're okay when your culture tells you that you're not. Like. . . Fat people are lazy. Fat people eat too much.
Fat people are unhealthy.
Fat people are disgusting. Fat people cannot be sexually attractive. Fat people don't care about themselves. Fat people have low self-esteem. So that is how I try to help people see the connections.
