"The most frustrating part of all this is how it makes me feel inside — I felt good about myself when I was thin. And now that I am plump again, I feel that old familiar self-loathing. And I know that these feelings don’t originate with me: I have internalized social attitudes toward fat women. In fact, it’s misogyny. Whether I lose the weight or not, I hope I can learn to grant myself pretty privilege. "

we all deserve the privilege of being treated like human being regardless of our size . I have experienced weight fluctuation for my whole entire life and although pretty privilege is a thing I choose to not make myself smaller for the world but rather make the world adjust to me. I hope that future generations will not place so much value on our bodies but in our hearts and our values.
