Were We the ‘Fat Couple’?

[@miriam4235]

Is it just me or are we all in love with Jason now? 😍

I don't like Courtney.

How sad. She blew up a good relationship due to her self-loathing and her response seems to be "yeah, I mean, that's just how it is, I don't want to be part of a fat couple". And then even now she's just kind of haphazardly trying to willpower herself out of her deeply ingrained self loathing and not allowing herself to have any meaningful connections until she's perfect instead of getting real help and writing off having any kind of connection to people instead of getting the deep and sustained therapy that she needs. The part of her that's ugly isn't her weight, it's the way she lets her disgust at herself reflect out and hurt other people.

This hit home. I got bypass surgery and now am "normal" size but for much of my adult life I was heavy on and off. I tried alot of diet and exercising. Nothing worked. I had started gaining for the first time after my second full term pregnancy. Must be my hormones charged.

Self-hate for all your life and it's created by your culture. I remember my mom would never say I looked good. It was always "you look well". If the person who was supposed to love me the most thought I was garbage, how could anyone else love me? Thank you for this report.

I think people's compatibility should be based on BMI

Not sure why she referred to herself with the male derogatory "I'm a dick". It would have been more appropriate to use the female "I'm a cunt". Sexism has more than one direction. It is her expression and she is free to say what she wants. Poor editing by the NYT.
