Whew! So good and thoughtful. I have been thinking about this recently as I view the extra pounds on my midlife body and how much shame I feel about that. I was convicted last week about the possibility that I harbor fat-phobia within me. I see how I treat one person in particular differently because of size and I don’t want this to be true of me 😩 Your words are helping me
I'm so glad my words have encouraged you! I think it's very normal to experience bias about fatness -- that's our normal, the water in which we swim. What's not normal is seeking to understand how our bodies, as they are RIGHT NOW, image God. That's the truth I'm seeking to live within and the truth God invites each of us into. What a gift!
