RE: Fat Acceptance is Bullshit

in #health7 years ago

Sensitive subject for sure! I heard something that shifted my way of looking at that word, fat, recently. It was a woman who was sharing a story about her daughter, who called her "Fat." And the mom responded in a conscientious way:

I'm not fat. I have fat on my body, but that does not define who I am.

Feeling this is a real, raw #truth, as I learn to be a better listener to the ladies, and a more compassionate person.

Sort:  

That's very well said, language is very confusing most of the times. I'm on that road to becoming a more compassionate person too but, there's still a long road ahead of me.
