Who Are You?
If you follow, you know that this transition for me has not come without its fair share of relationship drama. What happens when the fat sister, the fat friend, the fat wife is no longer fat? Who am I? And who are you? When we struggle to redefine ourselves, it forces us to take good hard long looks at the people around us too. To say it is destabilizing is to put it mildly. Plus, to realize that for yourself and for those around you, your SIZE was part of what defined you, even if you denied it when you were pushing 300 pounds. There are days when I feel free and so happy - and then there are days when I feel like an imposter, walking around in some costume that I picked up somewhere. This body needs to become mine. I wish there was a button I could push to make this part of the process pass more quickly.
