Fact: I am fat. “Obese,” according to my last physical. Fifteen years ago, those sentences would have unraveled me. Fifteen years ago, I would have done (and did) anything - no matter how stupid or dangerous - to avoid the body I’m currently in. I would have starved, exercised to excess, tried any diet pill or weight-loss supplement or appetite suppressant that crossed my path.

These Boots Were Made for Learning
I bought the boots. Yes, THOSE boots. The ones I saw on all of the impossibly thin, impossibly elegant women I passed on my way to work every day. THE fall boots of the Upper East Side. The boots of the woman I imagined I wanted to be. Glossy, yet understated. Subtle. Nothing like the supposedly “rich” ladies out in the suburbs, covered in logos and purchased at thirty percent off at an outlet store. No, these boots were refined, the kind of boots you wore on an autumn excursion to the family lake house.
