I Had To Find A Relationship With

The Most Important Thing For Me Was To Never, Ever, Ever Deny It. But I Didn't Really Have The Courage To Talk About It. I Was Thinking, The People Who Need To Know I'm Gay Know.

I Knew That I Was Gay, I Knew It. I Just Couldn't See Myself As A Gay Woman, Even Though That's Where My Heart Was.

I've Had So Many Interviews Where The Last Question Is, Are You Gay? I Had To Find Very Creative Ways To Say That I Was Gay, But That I Wasn't Going To Talk About It.

I Never, Ever, Restrict Food, And I Will Never Go On A Diet Ever Again.

I Finally Understood That By Being On A Perpetual Diet, I Had Practiced A "disordered" Form Of Eating My Whole Life. I Restricted When I Was Hungry And In Need Of Nutrition And Binged When I Was So Grotesquely Full I Couldn't Be Comfortable In Any Position By Lying Down. Diets That Tell People What To Eat Or When To Eat Are The Practices Inbetween. And Dieting, I Discovered, Was Another Form Of Disordered Eating, Just As Anorexia And Bulimia Similarly Disrupt The Natural Order Of Eating.
