If I was the normal weight confident intelligent girl I wouldn't feel their judgments of feel like I have to push against them.

It wasn't until now that the same is true about being fat.

Thanks Nick.

Almost anything can trigger one of those "bad days," and it is difficult to dig beyond "I'm fat" as the reason, but I do myself a disservice by not making that effort and by blaming my body for the bad feelings.
