It's okay to be fat. So you're fat. Just be fat and shut up about it.

I feel very comfortable in my own skin. When someone makes jokes about me being heavy, it makes me mad. It's not true. I'm right where I should be.

People tend to say, 'You're not as fat or as ugly as I expected.' I never know how to reply. It's a bit of a slap, but they don't mean it, I'm sure.

Being stick skinny to the extent where you can see your bones through your skin is not a good look. You don't need to be that to be beautiful or to be perfect or to fit in. Who you are is exactly who you should be. You can't let other people dictate your life or how you feel about yourself because then you're not living.

If you're a fat person - and especially if you're a woman - at all stages of your life you'll get abuse for it, so you have to work out a way of dealing with it. The best way is to be humorous about it - that defuses any tension.

It seems like people are more likely to tell you you've gotten too thin than to tell you you've gotten too fat.

Fat is a way of saying no to powerlessness and self-denial.

The funny thing is, I don't actually think of myself as fat at all. I don't think I am. Not really.
