I hate pictures of myself.

I have always felt fat.

I am not alone.

[ . . . ]

Today, I am awake, aware and I have persevered. Today I take these issues and confront, challenge, deconstruct and share them so others will be empowered and inspired. Today I share with you my plus size, curvy, imperfect body as a symbol for the change we need.
