I read a lot about body size and, now, body acceptance.
I’m a plus size woman and feel the pressure of public ‘disapproval’ of my size. I used to take it all very personally and I lived my fatness, hiding myself away so as not to offend anyone.
Recently I’ve hooked into the fatosphere and began learning about the politics of fat and food.
What an eye opening experience. The constant messages about health, body shape and what is or isn’t acceptable is largely rubbish. The whole ‘obesity epidemic’ doesn’t have much scientific evidence to support it, beyond confirmation bias, and its treated as a sanctioned reason to bully and discriminate.
Then we’re told ‘it’s for your own good’. Physical and emotional abusers have been using that line for centuries.
I read a lot of different information and views on this issues because its so polarising but I can’t help but wonder if my paying attention to the issue is simply perpetuating the issue. I believe strongly what we give our attention to increases.
My goal is to accept myself, whatever size and shape that I am. To eat what I want to eat when I want to eat it and stop when I ‘m full. To really have food become a delight again instead of an emotionally charged and dangerous quandary. Basically to give it no more analysis and attention than using the bathroom or breathing.
If I involve myself in this polarising retoric how do I convince myself the subject is not a major issue?
Clearly it is.
John is right, to a point. It’s unseemly for some auhrots who have been well served by traditional publishing to bite the hand that has fed them quite well.On the other hand (no pun intended), there are a lot of auhrots (like me) in whom traditional publishing has expressed little or no interest. I’m too old to moon over the pretty girl who may just be a tease; I’ll look elsewhere. I’m truly sorry for those whose jobs get lost in the shuffle, but I am at a loss as to what I personally can do about it.One more thing to be considered, though it does not wholly negate John’s point. No publisher does an author a favor by publishing his book. They do it because they think they can make money from it. This is truer for larger publishers, but no one is going to take a loss. That’s business, and there’s nothing wrong with that. No matter how good the contract, or how long a relationship has been in place, write a few books that don’t earn out and see how highly loyalty is regarded by those who currently run this industry.
