As a former fat girl, now thin, I relate heartily to every word of this. I love how you address ceasing to be a human being the instant you become fat. You morph into a category and a problem. Thinness, for reasons I can't fully understand, doesn't provoke this--even is a person is too skinny it's less likely anyone cares. Sometimes I wonder if we have an innate radar that suggests fat people are eating more of their "share" of limited food resources. On another note, it never occurred to me Adele ever was fat.
