My piece for the I STAND campaign – Stop weight bigotry, Health at Every Size!

I STAND FOR LIVING A FULL, FABULOUS, HEALTHY LIFE REGARDLESS OF MY DRESS SIZE!

That’s right folks. I am against weight bullying and believe that the best way to achieve a safer, saner world is to stand up and be proud of who I am and how far I have come from the teenager who thought they were too fat to do anything worthwhile with their life.

I thought i was too fat to be sexy, and now i am an internationally known award-wining adult performer and artist. I range from a size 10 to size 16 and guess what? I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I am a Yoga Addict. I eat nutritional food, and I even work out at a gym. I don’t do these things to loose weight, I do them because they make me feel amazing, physically and emotionally.

My dress size has absolutely nothing to do with my health, and am happy to be be a shining example of fat positivity. Please join me in standing up again body-bashing and other tools people use to make us feel bad about our bodies.

I must give credit to Marilyn Wann for running this I Stand project,  A response to Georgia’s misguided and harmful Strong4Life campaign against childhood obesity – as well as my friends Nomy Lamm, and Cookie Tuff for being life long fat-positive role models.
