Seeing people of different sizes choosing to be happy and beautiful and confident, even though they were always told they couldn’t be because of their weight, was the best way to unlearn what I believed about weight and worth and happiness. They are living examples that being fat doesn’t have to mean what we’ve been taught it means. You don’t have to feel the way you’ve been taught to feel. It’s a reminder that it really doesn’t matter what some people think of you. It matters what you think.
