Heavy subjects

For as long as I can remember, I've been fat. After a lot of work, I don't see this as the derogatory, death sentence that fatphobia tells me it is. Science tells us that healthy behaviors are far more predictive of healthy bodies than the number on the scale. (Read Health at Every Size, by Linda Bacon, I'm not foot noting a blog post)

I have a difficult time with body positivity for own body. It seems intent on thumbing its nose at me and I just don't feel all great about it. I eat nutritious food and my body just pukes it back out, or doesn't absorb the nutrients, or refuses to digest things altogether. Body positivity is a challenge when your body is faulty. I strive for body neutrality. 

I am working very hard at treating my body with love.
