I am fat. The fact that I am fat only tells you that I have a larger body. It does not tell you about all of my other attributes, strengths and weakness. The same holds true for someone who is thin. Their being thin doesn't tell us anything else about them.
Many people think that fat people are different.
We are not. We are people who are fat. We are larger people. The most important thing I have discovered in my journeys up and down and back up the scale is that what matters most is that I love myself, esteem myself and take the best care of myself that I can. So at this juncture I accept being fat.
