I think it better that in times like these a poets mouth be silent, for in truth we have no gift to set a statesman right. – William Butler Yeats
Reclaiming the word fat was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth, because the truth is that I am fat, and thats ok. So now when someone calls me fat, I agree, whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional. – Beth Ditto
