That was so awesome I almost want to cry. I’ve been thinking about this whole fat-equals-lazy-and-messed-up thing for a while. I changed some eating and exercise habits over the course of the last 7 or 8 years and lost over 60 pounds, almost by accident–half of that in the last 2 years. I like the way I feel. But what skeeves me out is the subtext behind some of the *congratulations* that I get. Like I’m a better person now, somehow. Fuck that shit. Makes me want to say, “I was just as awesome a couple years ago, too, but you were too dumb to notice.”
