Being a kid is terrifying and if you can be the funny fat kid, at least that's a role. To me, that was better than being the fat kid who wasn't funny, who's being sad over in the corner, even if that was how I was actually feeling a lot of the time.
At least if we're destroying me, I will be participating in my own self-destruction so I can at least find a role for myself.
Once we lost a bunch of weight ... we realized we'd never had these conversations about it with each other. If this book affects even the way one person thinks about fat people, even if that fat person happens to be themselves, that would be this book succeeding in every way that I would hope for.
I've been called fat, overweight or obese, husky, big guy, chunky, any number of words, all of those words just loaded up with venom.
