Nobody has ever wanted to meet me of their own free will. I’m usually just a consequence in people’s lives. Never a choice.

- When I was eight, my aunt were already insisting I should go on diet - Becky says. - When you’re a girl being fat is never cute. When you’re a girl, you must always be skinny.

Nikt nigdy nie chciał mnie po­znać z wła­snej woli. Na ogół bywam tylko jakąś kon­se­kwen­cją w życiu in­nych. Nigdy wy­bo­rem.

Being thin is not a prize you win on lottery of life that guarantees eternal happiness.

Good thing my body isn’t here to please anyone else, isn’t it?

Because fat is the kind of word people try to hide, no matter the cost. Everyone says „chubby” or „big-boned”, but never FAT. Fat is a word you can never take back. When you declare something, even if it’s obvious to everyone already, it becomes real.
