This was so awesome. Imagine being fat and NOT feeling like you're a mutated, unhealthy, food-obsessed, diabetic social pariah. Despite being bombarded from all sides with negativity. I can't even imagine getting to that mindset.
It's definitely not easy. I started reading about Fat Acceptance 3 or 4 years ago. A friend of mine posted a link to "The Fantasy Of Being Thin" and from there I started reading Twowholecakes.com (previously Fatshionista), Shapely Prose, The Rotund, Big Fat Blog, and several other FA blogs. I've got a few books, too. I still struggle with self image issues and the urge to diet/self-harm, but for the most part, I'm becoming pretty comfortable in my own skin. I have issues with assholes in the outside world, but my home life is pretty much one big safe space. :)
