I'm not in a position to tell heavy people anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My weight is something that people seem to talk about a lot.
I consider anybody who weighs over 200 pounds fat, and time was when I could not refrain from telling such people so.
I sympathize far more with heavier people than I ever will with thin. I'll never be thin. Let's be honest.
If you express yourself too much, you're considered weak.
I'm really good at telling people 'no.'
I want to tell stories powerful people don't want you to tell. It's not worth getting out of bed otherwise.
I'm the type of person who can get a feel for what you need and what I need to do to push you to get you to a breaking point, where you realize that you can't go on this way anymore, that the reason you're heavy is because you're ignoring all the stuff that's going on inside.
Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of them have been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror or how I felt about myself.
I will tell you that when I was heavy, people would say to me - and it was such a backhanded compliment - they would say, 'You've got such a beautiful face,' in the way of, like, 'Oh, isn't it a shame that from the neck down you're questionable.'
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.
