Ragen - much as I appreciate your work and YOU, I may have to stop reading your columns.

Before I began devouring each of your entries, my blood pressure was in some sub-basement of

measurement, something like 110/60 unless I got upset; then, it might go as high as 115/70. Now, thanks to all the horrible things you've unearthed that are being done to big people under

whatever guise, every time I read your work I can feel that little flutter that says "TAKE A PILL"!

So - in that sense, the haters MAY be right: fatness just might have an effect on one's health

after all ---here I am READING ABOUT FAT & bam - a health problem from out in left field! So -

I think a break is needed for a while & I'll just save your next few pieces for some later, calmer

time.

Hi Carol, I absolutely understand and completely support you in doing whatever you need to do to keep yourself safe and well - the stress of living with weight stigma is very real and does real harm. If there's anything I can do to support you, please don't hesitate to reach out!
