while most people are resolving to lose weight for new years, i am being kept thin by three straight nights of vomiting and stomach pain incurred by trying to ingest anything more than an apple or a piece of toast. body size, guys, it's not a choice. i'd rather be eating pizza and keeping it down.
my new year resolution is to examine the ways in which i am privileged as a thin, able-bodied person and to deconstruct any biases in my head regarding body size and ability, and to add that to the list of inequalities i regularly speak out against.
