Early Morning Thoughts

Dec 16, 2012 07:35

I've gotten myself into a terrible sleeping pattern. When I work, I try to go to bed between 9:30pm and 10pm, because it takes me anywhere from half an hour to an hour to fall asleep, and I have to get up the next morning by 8:30am at the latest. I really need 8 hours of sleep (sometimes I think I need a little more, but I take what I can get) ( Read more... )

insomnia, being an adult, busy katie, fashion, stress, fiance, friends, i hate the weather, sleep, newfoundland, oh me nerves, work, to do list

Re: "I love you despite of your being fat.", you guys probably have commercials for Herbal Magic over there. There's one woman's testimonial and she's like "he loved me before, but now we really connect and have a deeper relationship". All I hear from her statement is he loves her more now that she's thin.

See, that's awful. What I think is that her hatred for herself probably caused the disconnect in the relationship. That's why I choose to love myself for everything that is me *right now* at any point in time instead of waiting for a change that may never come.

"I love you despite your being fat". I can't believe someone would actually say such a thing. It just sounds platitudinous. What does loving someone have to do with whether they're thin, fat, grossly obese, grossly skinny, or any other aspect of how someone looks? And "I love you because you're fat" is either just as bad or worse. The person obviously thinks they're so ~open-minded~ and ~all-encompassing~ for accepting bigger people, or something, but it seems they actually don't, not really. I don't understand people who file their friends in their heads by weight or anything like that anyway. I have bigger friends, but I don't think of them as my "fat friends", nor would I for my skinny friends, nor for any way they look.

I'm all for embracing "fat" as a personal descriptor. It's just another word. But I really don't think that my weight is the be-all-end-all of my existence, even though it seems like a lot of people in the fat acceptance/body positivity movement do.

traveling around sounds like a lot of effort
i agree with you, either statement sounds problematic.
