Fat is a feminist issue

Today was a better day. Waking up in the usual dark mood and very tired (I had to put make up to hide the bags under my eyes). Watching Project Runway and talking to my brother improved my mood a bit.

Got to work using the highway ok. Work was ok, apart for a few moments of clumsiness on my part. I was much more relaxed.
 
One of my collaegues had a baby 7 months ago and she is still breastfeeding so she has grown larger. She is the butt of constant butt jokes from some of our customers. Today very calmly I told one of them: "She just had a baby and she is breastfeeding, so she has a reason to be fat. What's your reason?" I was very calm, serious but serene. as an overweight person myself I am very body conscious and as a feminist I am aware of the effects that jokes like that have on women's selfesteem especially in our society, so I am pleased of how it did come out.

Got home, stopped for fuel and managed to splash fuel over my face and clothes. Drove home thinking of electric sparkles and burning alive. Washed myself and the clothes, fed myself and I am now ready to relax a bit and to have an early night, with the increased dosage. I need sleep. I really do.
