Dan offers some advice on where she might find it.
You sat across the bar from me. I looked up and we caught each other's eye and both smiled....

What is old? What is fat? What is ugly?
I am ___ years old. It means I have wisdom. I am not nearly as naive as when I was younger. Society liked me better when I was easily fooled. I am young enough to string together this thought but old enough to know when to share the thought.
I am fat. I don't have a problem with it. I don't care who is attracted to me. I eat healthy when my body asks for care and I eat comfort food when my body asks for indulgence. My fat body allows me to walk, talk, breathe, speak, drive, love, smell, protest, celebrate...my body is incredible. I owe my body so much and I love it no matter how fat or thin I am.
I am multiethnic. According to western body standards I am supposed to be fair skinned with blue eyes and blond hair that I can grown long to signal how fertile I am or else I am not attractive. I am taller than average, I have broad shoulders due to my heritage as 1/4 warrior genes from a tribe in the South Pacific. My nose is big and my features hairy and dark because I am half South Asian. Even when I was at my "hottest" I was disrespected for being bother too hot to know better and still not hot enough because I have a darker skin tone and curly black hair.
BUT! I am also considerate and compassionate. I am bright and have decent observation. I am creative and can problem solve with integrity. I am funny, have fun taste and can cut a rug. I am so much more than someone else's standard of old, fat and ugly.
I am incredible. I don't care who agrees. I hope you can shake what is expected of you and just enjoy what you have.
I hear you.

Yeah, I realized I packed on a gut myself. Cutting out all the bread, most carbs, and sugars out of my diet. That's what makes you fat.
Heh

Not everyone gets to be young, thin and pretty
So here's hoping you find help in this little ditty
Even if you don't have what it takes to win the best
you can always spread your body to please the rest.
My diet

People use to be told that eating fat makes you fat, but it doesn't. It's the sugar. Cutting out bread, sugar, pasta, starch, etc will cause you to lose weight. You'll drop probably about 10 pounds every couple of weeks. My diet, is bacon and eggs with some grated cheese every morning (gives you all the nutrients you need in a day). The rest of the day it's pretty much chicken and stir fry. I also keep around apples too if I feel like a munch. It's working great for me. People want to blame age, but the age factor is mainly just a physical activity change without the dietary change to balance it out. As a person has more responsibility to attend to and less time in the day (especially if there's kids) they don't have the time to be as active as they were when they were young. Back then they had to walk, or peddle their bikes everywhere when they didn't have a vehicle, and could afford to eat somewhat unhealthy. Now they go for a lot more quick unhealthy foods, instead of taking the time to make a healthy meal without all the junk. That's why they get fat. Then you got people that are fat, that have no kids, and no other real responsibilities that are old, that don't want to take any kind of personal responsibility for their own health simply because they're lazy and lack discipline. But they don't want to admit that their lazy with no self discipline especially concerning their health, so they'll call it a cause for social justice and hope you buy their bullshit.
