Lily’s New Strange World Today

In a world where Skinny = perfect, this is what is considered a “plus size” person. This is also what is considered a plus size person in the fashion world. In other words, an average size person.

Truth be told, I would like to get back into average sizes. I am a large person and I have had an unhealthy relationship with food since I was thirteen years old and became bulimic. Part of my problem stems from the fact that when I was a size 10, I thought I was fat. However, when I was a size 6, I also thought I was fat. When I was a size 1 (at the age of 12) I thought I was fat–because I had developed hips and could no longer wear size 9 boys’ pants.

This was the warped thinking of a 12 year old girl in 1977.

And we sure as hell have not come a long way, Baby.
