I'd lived through my size all of my life, so acutely aware and ashamed of my obesity that the likable things about me...were as illusory to me as a magician's stacked card deck. As long as I defined myself by my body size, I would not experience those qualities for myself.

OUCH. That one hit me right upside the heart.
Thanks for posting this, Kwik; Frances is riveting and her words rings very true, as only a fat person's can. A few more raw experiences like this one and I should be able to avoid my own therapy. Plus, she's given me a great new greeting for my answering machine, when it's time.  |
