Why -
-fat women, women in general are taught to be ashamed of what we eat, and we're supposed to prove we only eat healthy food and just can't help it that we're fat

Why -
-I have diabetes *and* I am in an unhealthy eating pattern right now and I'm still not a fuck up

Why
- I don't like the defensive logic used by queers and queer supporters that says "they were born that way, they didn't choose it, therefore you must be open minded." Who cares if I chose it or not? This applies to what I eat too.

Why
- closet eating feels dirty

Why
- I have the right to eat

Why
- Paying attention is a good idea

Why
- If I can't crawl around on the floor naked in front of you, this is the next best thing

Why
- my gut
