we see a literal binary chronology following the Heaven Ascending pattern

So I need to talk about something real quick so that the cogs in my brain will stop uselessly spinning at full speed. In my recent web surfing adventures, I came across a blog mostly devoted to the Fat Acceptance Movement (FAM). Now I'm not sure how new this movement is, but it's pretty new to me and I've been hearing more and more about it recently. As far as I can tell, the core principal of the movement is that despite the constant bombardment from the popular media with messages of shame and guilt for being being overweight, every person regardless of what their bathroom scale says deserves the same respect as a human being and should hold her(his)self in the same esteem.

I can totally get behind that. But when I think about it, I keep hearing this voice in my head over and over again. It's Brad Pitt and he's saying, "you are not your khakis. you are not the contents of your wallet. you are not your weight." And it's at that moment that I suddenly can't support the FAM. The FAM encourages overweight people to identify with their weight, and to associate it with who they are. "I'm overweight and I love myself." is a phrase I keep seeing in connection with the FAM. Would you not love yourself if you were not overweight? When you look at the other side of the coin, the whole movement seems quite ridiculous.

This also reminds me that I've had a burning desire to watch Fight Club for months now.
