Judy - I recently wrote an article on rejection in writing, where I said that "rejection is the fuel that fires my resolve to prove them wrong." I suppose in some ways, the same applies to the difficulties I still encounter being fat. Perhaps I could reword that to say,"Intolerance is the fuel that fires my resolve to prove them wrong."
I wrote the following manifesto for a character in my latest novel. In reality it reflects my own feelings. I called it, A Fat Woman's Manifesto....
1. Diets will no longer factor at all in my life.
2. Life is a banquet. I intend to get my money's worth.
3. My weight is not open for discussion—period!
4.I'll eat anything I damn well please!
5. I will not settle for second best.
6. I will greet the world with my head up.
7. Fear will no longer rule my actions.
8. I won't put up with put downs.
9. I won't base my self-esteem on other people's opinions.
10. I'm Fat. Get over it!
