Gratitude and Cattitude: Take 1

I'm grateful to have gone to Key West, to have met Guru G and seen the polydactyl kitties. I'm grateful to have gotten a catsitter and to have come home to a cat who was deliriously happy to see me.

skewed thought: I've gained weight and it is bad. I must lose.
reality: I don't know if I've gained weight but if I did it is good. I must gain.

Can we fight...

Can we fight thin privilege without telling people how many lbs/kgs they should gain? I was recently told I should gain 40 lbs by a guy. It was a privileged guy, if it matters, and it was out of line. I am 30 lbs underweight give or take, so yeah, I get that I will not visually appeal to many people, but my body isn't public property, even though images of it are published on the net, so...show some "class," please, dude.

Met the Guru!!

I finally met Guru G and will start counseling with her. She does collage work with her clients among other things. I'm going to start using this blog as a daily gratitude journal and as a place to look at my skewed thoughts vs. reality.

checking thin privilege

I really want to write these blogs with thin privilege in mind and not say anything that might offend fat people. Allying is an ongoing effort, so if I've said something wrong, please let me know.
