Here is a real thing that I really feel and really think all the time:

I feel less successful and like my family only loves me a limited amount because I’m fat.  I suspect that I’m the blemish on family photos and that people don’t even like having to look at me in real life, never mind pictures.  I feel ashamed to sit down in groups of thin people.  I think my family and people in general would view me better and less like a giant disappointment if I were not large.  I think I would feel like less of a joke.   

And that is what I’m thinking about today.  That and how poisonous the kind of stigma that produces these feelings is.  

Thanks for coming, have a good day.
