Are the Wonders of My World

Just for future reference, don’t use words like “love” anymore. It’s a very sensitive word and it wears out quickly. Romeo barely says it, but John Hinckley filled up a whole journal with it. To put it into your terms, it’s a currency that’s easily devalued. Pretty soon you’re saying it whenever you hang up the phone or whenever you leave. It turns into an apology. Then it’s an excuse. Some assholes want it to be a bulletproof vest: don’t hate me; I love you. But mostly it just means - more. More, more - give me something more.

For one day you will look back and realize they were the big things. Trust me… you will.

Like today, for example, starting my diet with McDonald’s breakfast probably was not the smartest idea. Thank goodness for another day.

‘I love you’ means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. ‘I love you’ means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same way for me.

One week from Sunday, we will all be together.  11 days. my excitement is overbearing.  It might only be for a hug, but that will be enough.  It’s been a long four months.  and all of our lives have changed.  but once together, we will all be okay.  I will be okay.  

I will feel like a real person again. I am nothing without them.

This was taken a year ago today… Funny how things change over 365 days.

Fat acceptance doesn’t simply advocate in favor of fatness. Fat acceptance is also about rejecting a culture that encourages us to rage and lash out at our bodies, even to hate them, for looking a certain way. It’s about setting our own boundaries and knowing ourselves, and making smart decisions about how we live and treat ourselves, and ferociously defending the privacy of those choices. It’s about promoting the idea that anything you do with your body should come from a place of self-care and self-love, not from guilt and judgment and punishment. It’s about demanding that all bodies, no matter their appearance or age or ability, be treated with basic human respect and dignity. That’s the world I’d like to build. For all of us.

I hate the word fat, in every sense of the word. It’s mean and nasty, and just sounds bad. I will teach my children there’s three words we never say: shut up, stupid and fat. I’m watching an Adele concert on KET and I think she is one of the most beautiful people in the world. Also, I ran 20 miles today. I crossed a bridge and went to another state and then came back. I still can’t feel my legs, but I’m wearing heels tomorrow, so I guess that’s a good thing?
