I loved reading this story of how you healed and grew from the fatphobic comments. It's a very beautiful and well-told story of an even more beautiful person.

You touched on at least 4 things that helped you - Vidya Balan's example as a body-positive celebrity, a life partner's unconditional love, putting the issue in the context of bigger struggles as well as bigger goals, and reminding yourself for a month! Yes, I'm taking notes for dealing with anything I need for heal from!

You're my favorite feminist writer. Love you Shruthi. <3
