Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

I'm beautifully, deliciously, curvily, fabulously plus-sized, which may as well be a bad word in today's culture, but I'm healthy, I eat well, I'm as active as I'm comfortable being, and this is obviously where my body wants to be. And yeah, I have bad days here and there, but I'm loved for who I am, and lusted after for how sexy I am, and I'm happy with who I've become.

Which is the important part. Not a size, not a weight, not an arbitrary NUMBER, be it a 0 or a 10 or a 20 or whatever. Healthy and happy, and beauty from within, is the important part.

I was a size 0 once. I was anorexic and miserable. But I have a friend who's been a size 0 most of her life, and she's healthy, so whatever! We are a broad, varied, and beautiful spectrum of people. Live and let live!

(And yeah, it only took me 32 years to get to this point. I thumb my nose at every industry and cultural standard that tries to oppress women into ridiculous conformity. Bah! LOL)
