Dear Fat Woman On Vacation “Why did they take you knowing the embarrassment you would face in front of the crowd when you realized that your weight would become part of the show?”
You went through the rest of the competition with blank eyes and a tired smile. The crowd voted through applause who should win. You got the most votes. I was wondering if it was because your lift was the funniest or if they too felt sad that you were humiliated. I didn’t clap. I was angry. I am still angry as I write this letter. These arrogant, misogynistic fat-phobic men took the light from your eye that night.
Dear Fat Woman on the Stage, you are all of us. You live in a world that is not ready to accept the diversity of size. You are blamed and teased because of your weight, but are offered no solutions. You started as a young, innocent child who was trained to see herself as an ongoing project, a never ending disappointment because of her strong, healthybody. Over time that body was subjected to diet after diet, failure after failure.
But, my sister, when I looked at you on the stage that night, before your humiliation, I saw that you were no longer a shrinking violet. I saw a woman who made a decision to take up as much space as she needed. A woman who found love in a husband who loves herof her appearance, not despite it. I saw the looks between you two and could tell that he supports you. The road to self acceptance is not easy or smooth. It is not a linear path, rather it twists and turns.
I didn’t see you after that night, but I haven’t stopped thinking about you and how we are one in the same. I imagine that you took the night to lick your wounds and some of your old thinking reemerged but by morning you decided that you deserved to fully enjoy every moment of your well earned vacation. I’ll bet you went to the pool the next day and drank your Pina Colada and laughed with your husband. I’m sure that you soaked up the sun and read a really good book.
And I am positive that you got up for the Zumba lesson by the pool and showed the rest of the place how it’s done.
