"Growing up, my mother's weight was the uncredited co-star of every family drama, the obvious, unspoken reason why she never got out of the car when she picked me up from school, why she disappeared from the daily photo album for years at a time, why she spent hours making meatloaf then sat beside us eating a bowl of carrots."

"Doctors are supposed to be trusted authorities, a patient's primary gateway to healing. But for fat people, they are a source of unique and persistent trauma. No matter what you go in for on how much you're hurting, the first thing you will be told is that it would all get better if you could just put down the Cheetos."
