Calling someone “fat” is an painful insult. But why is that really?
That’s what everyone was left wondering after a mother of two named Allison shared her story of what happened when she went swimming with her children recently. When the 30-year-old’s daughter called her fat, Allison had a brilliant response, and now her message is spreading like wildfire across the internet.
When Allison Kimmey was only 14, she started dieting. She was able to maintain a size two to four through graduate school, but it was difficult and she wasn’t happy. Then three years ago at age 27, Allison reached size eight and realized that she’d be much happier if she allowed herself to stop struggling against her weight gain.
