There’s a lot more information about what it’s like to be a fat woman and the things you should and shouldn’t say. Here's what I want everyone to know...

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving my body. I don’t have to choose between being fat and beautiful, I can be both.

You can learn to live with the pain, you can move on as I have after over a decade of self-reflection and hard work, but you never, ever get over it.

We’ve all made bad choices when it comes to dating. Mine involves Hannah Montana, a tractor, and an awkward invitation to a threesome.

At this point gender basically exists to sell us stuff.

It's okay to dump your friends — even friends who have been there for you in the past. Remember today that you deserve good things and good people.

I’m very aware of the fact that I’m fat — trust me. I’ve had this body for longer than you’ve been familiar with it.

Is anything keeping you from believing that you deserve good things?
