On Shopping While Fat 2: Son of Fat
I feel the same way. It’s amazing.
The only thing I would add is that, as a fat person, I feel both invisible and hyper visible. People stare at me all the time. I don’t get catcalled, but I get “fat called” and any time I go to the grocery store, people criticize what I have in my cart. If I get salad, people say things like “good for you” or “who do you think you’re fooling?” If I get “unhealthy” food, people tell me “this is why you’re fat” and other stuff. Reclaiming my image has been powerful. If I like how I look, I don’t care what other people think. Of course the fat phobia still hurts, though.
