Quotes by Evette Dionne (?)

“Our culture treats weight loss as if it's about aesthetics or a vain quest to assimilate, but we rarely consider that it is sometimes a consequence of traumatic experience.”
― Evette Dionne, Weightless: Making Space for My Resilient Body and Soul – Poignant Essays on Fat, Black Women and Cultural Expectations

tags: culture, fatphobia, trauma, traumatic-experiences, weight-loss

“When I look in the mirror, I don't see a body slimmed through strict dieting and weight loss. I see a body that's weary, that's battered, that has been through absolute hell. I see a body that's resilient and has gone through the wringer to keep me alive. None of what I've endured matters in this unwinnable scheme: I am thinner, and therefore everything I've experienced to get here is secondary.”
― Evette Dionne, Weightless: Making Space for My Resilient Body and Soul – Poignant Essays on Fat, Black Women and Cultural Expectations

tags: chronic-illness, diet-culture, fatphobia

“I refuse to settle... it would be nice to find a partner, but I'd much rather remain single than settle for someone that's undeserving.”
― Evette Dionne, Weightless: Making Space for My Resilient Body and Soul – Poignant Essays on Fat, Black Women and Cultural Expectations

tags: happiness, relationships, settling, single
