After struggling with eating disorders for years, it is nice to realize that it is okay to be a happy and ATTRACTIVE woman who is not a waif! Thank you, good luck to you ;) I enjoy your comments.

I hide in t-shirts and baggy jeans with my hair in my face. i don't allow people to take pictures of me and stay away from cameras that will show my whole body. I got used to being this way and began to feel ok. no diet pills worked and all the exercize in the world didn't matter cuz the medication keeps it there. I always wanted to be an actress but when I go places and see the sizes of clothes and how I'm considered a plus size...i want to cry all the way home. I feel like people point and laugh at me (when i know they don't). I have one of the most amazing personalities in the world but i feel that no one else besides my boyfriend will ever think i'm pretty. I'm hopeless. I'm crying while i write this. It's so great to read a website like this. I for once feel good about myself. I'm a borderline plus size and can't find ANY clothing that fits right and it's just such a heartache to feel alone. now i can obviously see that I'm not. this wont cure my obsession with my weight and my lack of self esteme, but maybe, just maybe, you can help me begin to feel like a worthy human being again.

I get picked on often by the plastics, and obviously, its not hard to imagine what they use. But you know what? I don't give a flying fuck. I'm fat, so sue me. I want to lose some weight, yes, if only for health reasons. But I'm NOT ashamed of being fat. You make me feel better about myself. Thanks. I’m in high school, and I’m not the social type.

Feel free to delete this. :) Hi there - I wanted to let you know, in hopes that you might let your audience know, that I've recently launched a new project that I'm very excited about! The new project is called "The Fat Experience Project." and you can view it here: http://thefatexperience.com The goal of the Fat Experience Project is to map the global experience of fat in a way that is human, has a face, a heart, a mind, a body and a voice. The Fat Experience Project is an oral, visual and written history project which seeks to be a humanizing force in body image activism. By collecting and sharing the many and varied stories of individuals of size, the Fat Experience Project seeks to engage with, educate, empower and enrich the lives of people of size, our allies and the world at large. As the project grows, it will be filled with first-person, non-fiction narratives (in text, video or mp3 format) that speak to the many and varied aspects of the life lived large. Some of the content will come from interviews already gathered on an extensive 2-month road trip (with the lovely Val Garrison) in both audio and video format. Some content will come from trips on the horizon. Most content will be submitted via the website by readers such as yourself. It is my hope that the project will be a community tool to combat prejudice/stereotype/discrimination as well as to help externalize shame so it can discussed and dissipated. The things we keep silent about are the things that do us the most harm. Shared burden is lighter. I am hoping, as well, that the project may eventually be used as a humanizing resource for fat studies and social anthropology courses. I am writing to ask for your help in both the promotion of and the participation in this project. It is my fondest hope that, ultimately, with time and resources, this project will grow beyond a specific and exclusive fat focus and move toward addressing the many intersections of shame. In the meantime, I would love your help in the form of passing this along to your readers/mailing lists/friends/family/anyone you feel may benefit from hearing about this project. I also welcome comments, constructive criticism and volunteers. Thanks for your time and energy! Big BIG love, Stacy Bias http://thefatexperience.com http://www.stacybias.net I’m sorry, but I can’t find an email address on the site for you, so I’m leaving this here. Feel free to delete this. :)
