"Men and women have to put on mental armor every day to deflect the pointed barbs and subtle hints that we should wax away hair, lose twenty pounds, and have bigger breasts or a larger penis."

Feeling “fat” should never distract you this way…

Dec 21st, 2008 by Heather | 0

This is from this weeks batch of Postsecrets – an email somebody sent in relation to a funeral secret.  For me, fat is not a bad word.  It has no negative meaning to me any longer.  I remember a time when I could have been the person in this email and I won’t ever go back to that again.  If you are this distracted by thoughts of your weight, you have to take your life back and find your inner goddess.

Subject: high at my friends funeral

At my grandmothers funeral I wasn’t upset because of her death, or because my whole family was crying. I was to distracted by the fact that I looked and felt extremely fat.
