What's wrong with being fat?

I had a conversation with my mum the other day about my hair. Long story short, she said it suited me very well. I replied something to the effect of "You think so? I'm glad. I worry I'm too fat for a short cut like this, but I'm really happy with it, so cool." To which she replied, as she always does when I say I'm fat, with telling me

I'm glad I'm not alone~ It really upsets me how most of society values "beauty" over almost everything else. Exactly, it's... sort of sweet, I guess, that they want to be nice, but it's just such a ridiculous thing to put down. Half the problem is looking at being fat as something automatically shameful and bad [the other half is idealizing thin as automatically good and most desirable], so while I know their intentions are kind it just sort of... seems off, to me. And oh gosh, I am so out of shape too. Good luck losing weight; it's not easy but start slow and pace yourself. I'm sure we can both do it~ c:
haha yeah, that's why I kept my hair long/longish for so long, but I finally just got so tired of it that I stopped caring. And like I said, while I think it would look better with a slimmer face I'm still really happy with it and plan to maintain the cut, as it's so much easier to manage now that it's short. =w= I totally recommend chopping your hair of if you want to. xD [I always figured that, at worst, I have to let it grow back... though my hair grows hella fast, so, yeah, I didn't have much to worry about. But now that I have it short I'm overdue for a cut and it's only been a few months.]
