In an attempt to be optimistic, and because Thanksgiving and the eating that come with it always make me happy:
- The fact that I’ve been lucky enough to have a surplus of food all year.
- The fact that I will be eating a surplus of food today.
- The love I finally feel for my body, my curves, my pudge, my wobbly bits, myself.
- The hope I have that someday there will be such a thing as a Fat Parade.
- My boyfriend who supports me in everything I do and this morning said to me, “Having each other can help us both fulfill our dreams rather than hinder them.”
- My family, who even though we argue and disagree on 80 percent of important life matters is there for me when it counts.
- The few close friends I have come to realize have been there in my life for a solid decade and whether we talk every day or once a year we can always pick up where we left off.
- My dog, who despite being 15 and having a recent hospitalization is still alive and kicking (literally). His name is Cookie…clearly I’ve always had a thing for food.
- Being hired as a Marie Claire intern, which I will start after the winter holidays.
- Being able to say I am never f***ing dieting again!
Learning to love our bodies they way they are make us stronger--great attitude!
