There are degrees. Yep. The problem with trying to write a piece on a subject like this is, there are dozens of variations to deal with, each worthy of several paragraphs. Not all big people are fat. Not all fat people are unhealthy. Not all thin people are healthy. But the more you break things down, the more diluted the message can become. So hit the high points, give nods to the variations, and just try to write something that says what you need it to and holds together.
What I finally learned (with the help of one truly amazing teacher) is that, contradictory as it sounds (and I'm sorry if I can't explain it very well), but the less you worry about the "bad" aspects of yourself, the easier it is to change them.
Have you done a post about all this that I missed? If not, I wish you would :)
