yesterday, Sunday was the beginning of Kwanzaa. it struck me how Kwanzaa has so many valuable precepts for everyone including us fat folks. yesterday was the first day and the thought was centered around Imoja, meaning unity. us fat people could definitely use some of that.
today the idea to meditate on and enact is Kujichagulia (self-determination): To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves. thats a definite need since others are always trying to determine everything about fat folk including whether we are even capable of being healthy, happy, intelligent, lovable or even secure in ourselves. what ideas do you have about self determination as it relates to fat people. what do you think is important for us to take over from the slimmer masses and the media. in what ways can you or have you initiated some fat self determination in your own life?
