issues! but happiness & knowledge because of them <3

Found this book while shelving - The Fat Studies Reader - OMG.. I’ve barely read anything & so far it’s so great. I didn’t even really know there was a thing such as Fat Studies. It looks like it would fall under the Women’s Studies heading. Although aren’t there more overweight men than women?? Did you know there is something known as “Hogging”?!!

To be brutally honest lady, it took me a long time to get to where I am, and I also have days/weeks where I don't like my body. But I think what's key to remember is that EVERYBODY, regardless of size has issues with how they look, and to breathe, and take stock of what you love about yourself, and all the amazing things your body can do, *even* if it doesn't look exactly the way you want it to!

I know it's hard, but you're a phenomenal woman, Kristy!
