Re: the weight debate building. (this is about eating issues, not medical conditions)

As someone who was groomed by her mother to have a specific body type, and ridiculed publicly when I didn't have that, as someone who was told by her father that it looked like I had a tire in my waist band, as someone that was an exercise bulimic in her late teens and was grey-faced and wan from being unhealthy, as someone who watched her best

I will add an addendum re: thin people to that sentence, if it didn't seem clear that I was also saying that thin doesn't mean healthy. I see your point, and can easily adjust that so I'm not singling out a specific type, absolutely.

"What's not to love?" Exactly my point. One of my dearest friends has faced similar problems to you, re: dr.s not taking her health concerns seriously. She teaches 9 dance classes a day and weighs over 300 pounds. She can still do the splits. She also has chronic fatigue syndrome and spends days in her room, in agony. No one would diagnose her, because they kept saying she was just fat.

I honestly can't imagine not wanting to hire you because of your weight, but then, I'm not the jackholes you might be interviewing with. I don't understand ANY person that judges another based on their appearance, and that goes for being non-white too. It just doesn't make sense to me.

All I know is that I think you're pretty fucking awesome, and I just want you to feel good, however that happens.

I'm amending my post right now, because you made a good point.
