This!☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

It’s really funny to me, (although I’m not laughing), how random thin people instantly turn into cardiologists and fitness specialists, (sans degrees of any kind), at the very sight of a fat person! After all, pulling from their deep well of television and internet knowledge, of how the human body works, what can they be, but logical, and concerned, about the health habits of fat people.

I have one body, and only one life, and I’m not about to wait to start living and being happy, after trying to be “skinny” first. I,(we all), deserve happiness now, not in some nebulous future, where I’m miraculously twenty pounds underweight.

I have declared it!

Other people do not get to determine whether or not I should have joy, or a life, based on whatever random personal criteria is floating around their brain!

Fuck ‘em! (‘Scuse my French!)
