About
Friend, you are meant to bloom - not shrink. Our weight-obsessed culture chastises and shames you, as though your body size is not only a personal moral failing, but a reliable indicator of poor "health" (and therefore your worth). Over time, you internalize this anti-fat bias, and often treat yourself with the same level of contempt. You either avoid medical care altogether, or expose yourself to the risks of weight stigma (far more harmful than any presumed adverse effect of your weight itself). You question how to nourish yourself – forbidding yourself food, isolating in shame for a binge, "paying" via purge or exercise. Enough.
