“Because I’m fat, I know how horrible everyone is. If I looked like a normal woman, if I looked like you, then I’d never know how cruel and shallow people are. I see a different side of humanity. Those guys I went on the blind dates with treated me like I was subhuman. If I were thin and pretty, they would have shown me a different side, a fake one, but since I look like this, I know what they’re truly like.” “Explain why this is a good thing.” “It’s a special power. I see past the mask to the real person underneath. I’m not living a lie like so many other women. I’m not a fool.”
