I joined social media a couple of years ago and had no idea that we talk about women’s weight all the time. Or put up pictures of famous women on social media and then write their weights across their bodies. The only number you would ever write across a man is how much money he’s worth — you would never even care how much he weighed. And I started to see this more and more often. So I just posted on Twitter and Instagram what I weigh, which is my financial independence, my activism, the health struggles that I’ve overcome, my anxiety, my boyfriend, my best friend, everything that makes me up. I weigh the sum of all my parts.
