this woman’s work

From Fatshadow

And then I thought about the notion of average sized in a world where the cast of friends is portrayed as average.

I could hear lots of “I’m not average sized. Look at my hips.”

I saw an infomercial the other day for some thing that is guaranteed to give you a flat stomach in two weeks. There were women who I would describe as average sized complaining about "their pooch." The little bit of belly that they had. One of them grabbed her belly with a look of shame and contempt and said, "I just can’t get rid of this."

Her body. She grabbed a part of her body. With shame and contempt. And said.

I just can’t get rid of this.

This is a powerful post. Check it out.
