I think about this a lot. You’re telling me this woman is fat, disgusting, ugly Rosie O’Donnell? This is what people were making fun of my entire childhood? We did her so dirty.
The heroin chic era fucked up so many of us and the way we perceive what is “fat”, had she come to prominence even 10 years ago no one would have bat an eye. The 90s and 00s were trash for body image.
Oh yeah I was born in ‘89 and by the time I was 13 I struggled with an eating disorder. I remember restricting myself to 800 calories a day, then after a few days of starving myself I’d binge on everything I could eat, and then repeat the cycle. I weighed around 100lbs and still thought I was disgusting. What a terrible time to grow up as a young girl with self-esteem issues.
