I am fiercely ambivalent about the 'fat acceptance' movement. If you have good self-esteem at whatever size, shape, weight, or age you are, good for you. I don't, never have, and probably never will. But I accept my non-acceptance of my fat and I know with my smart brain that I am no more or less attractive than most, and that I'm basically OK, and who cares.

If you have a body (and if you're reading this, I assume you do), people are going to look at it and have thoughts, feelings, and judgements about it. What you should or should not be wearing, eating, and/or doing with your body, at your weight, at your age, because of your gender. Whatever.

Here's a secret, and a truth, and a freedom: That judgement has nothing to do with you
