Who will I be...
I've been thinking a lot lately of how much of my identity is wrapped up in my weight. I try not to let it define me, and I know I'm lucky that I have the... chutzpah (a yiddish word) to go out and wear my bathing suit on the beach, even when I don't love how my body looks in it.
But I wonder how I'll feel, not being the fattest person (or at least girl) in the room. Excuse the pun, but it's a huge part of who I am, the funny fat girl, the loud fat girl, the fat girl who occasionally hooked up with the cute guys - though God forbid those boys actually date me.
It'll be weird to be normal... I bet I'll have a harder time with the change than the world around me.

It is very ingrained in us- being a fat person. And I don't think we will ever think "slim".
I saw myself in the mirror at work the other day. I didn't recognise myself. I was so used to seeing a blob that this new person took me by surprise and I didn't know how to react. I've gone from feeling physically ill looking in a mirror to mentally confused as to how to feel about it.
I wouldn't change it for the world.....
