ephemera and shit: some thoughts about struggle/body image/complicated conversations

jessiedress:

First, let me just say that I am clearly writing this for myself. This probably makes VERY LITTLE SENSE, and I’m not really interested in providing context.

Twice this week I’ve had crazy-interesting conversations with friends about body image/fat stuff. That sounds pretty normal and whatever,…

This is a lot more eloquent than I can ever say. But this is why I call myself fat in front of my closest friends. They never seem to care, or refute me when I say it, and hopefully it never makes them feel awkward around me. The more we talk about it, and say the word “fat,” the more comfortable I can feel in my own body.
