I have a guy friend who pulls that whole "you're not THAT big" routine with me any time we get into a discussion about weight (which he usually leads, as he is OBSESSED). I'm like, dude, shut up. I'm fat. My worth isn't prescribed by my size. Neither is yours. I am way late to the party but I love this post.

I am so proud of you for calling him on his comment, rather than just letting it slide, or sitting there, listening to it, feeling more and more uncomfortable. That takes a lot of courage. A lot. This post really inspired me--thank you. I also came to you from the carnival, albeit fashionably late.

That was so amazingly well done. I would hug you if we weren't, y'know, utter and complete strangers. grin. So instead I will just applaud and cheer and declare that the bravest thing I've read about all day, possibly all week. It's relatively easy to be brave when there are strangers involved. To say the things you said to a friend (even an uneasy, maybe-not-so-great friend), takes a helluva lot of courage. I am seriously just so impressed. Just... wow. Wow.

I've been in similar situations myself with family and friends and never known what to say, or how to say it. I'll try and remember this next time it comes up :) That was a really powerful thing to read.
