Yes, I’ve been fat my entire life… significantly so, but I still can’t believe I am fat. Don’t get me wrong I’ve always been aware and insecure over my weight but I still don’t fully conceptualize myself as a fat person. In my mind I am a pretty and cool girl in a way that just doesn’t jive with my identity as a fat person. It doesn’t really make sense to me that other people perceive me with the negative connotations surrounding being a fat person because that is not how I see myself at all. I’m not sure if this cognitive dissonance is a result of my internalized fatphobia or just me rejecting the demeaning view of overweight people in our society. Either way… don’t call me fat!
