FAT BRAT: ACCEPTING THE WORD "FAT"
I've been called "fat" almost my entire life. The word was spewed at me as an insult from kids on the playground in elementary school, boyfriends, and mean girls in high school. The word is still used to belittle me and many other women. And while I used to let it get to me in high school, I've stopped letting the word "fat" bother me. It's what I am: fat. AND IT'S NOT A BAD WORD.
