Often, I either get asked straight out why I fast or people suggest I do it for attention. Sometimes I see that people post they do it for someone or something or to be noticed. However, not me. I look in the mirror and see a fat person. I know what the scales and the BMI and what the professionals say, but I know they must either be blind or they are just trying to make me feel OK about being fat.
