This, more than anything, has furthered my confidence that my book needs to be written. Life experience of the persecuted is often swept under the rug, even though each one deserves to be told. I don't care what you think about obesity, but if you don't spend the time to talk to someone and understand their experience, you don't have any place judging them. If somebody wants to judge me after reading Yoga for Fat Girls? It's open season-- but I'll mourn the lack of compassion in that the way I mourn the lack of compassion for any minority, illness, disablility.
