Lindy West Quotes

So, What Do You Do When You're Too Big, In A World Where Bigness Is Cast Not Only As Aesthetically Objectionable, But Also As A Moral Failing? You Fold Yourself Up Like Origami, You Make Yourself Smaller In Other Ways, You Take Up Less Space With Your Personality, Since You Can't With Your Body. You Diet. You Starve, You Run Till You Taste Blood In Your Throat, You Count Out Your Almonds, You Try To Buy Back Your Humanity With Pounds Of Flesh.
