My daughter’s dad pursued me online when he was still married. I was following his blog and Facebook page when something I posted to my own timeline caught his eye.
It was 2013 and I’d lost a lot of weight, but I was still fat. As a woman with lipedema, I often found myself frustrated by the way people talk about fat women on social media, so I decided to post this naked picture:
Maybe it was silly, but it was something I needed to do back then. Although so much of the world wrote me off as another “fat bitch” any time I spoke up for myself and took up space, I was proud of my progress.

It somewhat undercuts the message that it’s fine to be fat when you spend two paragraphs ‘justifying’ it by saying how you’ve lose weight and are on a raw vegan diet.
It’s okay to be fat even if you haven’t lost weight and never will, and no matter what you eat. It’s not anyone else’s business in any situation.
Can’t really blame the wife for disliking you though.
