'I can't tell you how supported and validated it feels to be in a room full of people like me.' AskMrMickey
One of the joys of getting older is you see what a waste of time it is torturing yourself about your weight. After decades of dieting and hating my fat self, I realized that I'm fabulous at any size and I need to love my body. I feel lucky that today we live in a world with lots of body neutrality activists and people fighting fatphobia. When I was young, you certainly didn't see many examples of people doing those things.
My 73-year-old mother has COPD and emphysema, which requires her to use oxygen, so that was also a reality check. Back when I was younger, I ate a grilled cheese sandwich with french fries and two Cokes for every lunch and dinner. Of course, I felt like crap. Nowadays when I eat too much junk, I feel bad and sad and have no energy. I gave up all soda and although I honestly could easily guzzle a 2 liter bottle of Coke right now, I feel so much better: My skin is better, my teeth are healthier and I don't have caffeine headaches.
