Diet is Die. Put a T on it if you want. It's Die.

I'm a mature, politically aware lesbian! I know that fat is a feminist issue! I understand how women have impossible standards of appearance shoved down our throats! And I love my body the way it is... until I have to buy a goddamn bathing suit!

I usually don't have much to say on the topic of fat activism. Truth is, a large percentage of the people on my friends list are very knowledgeable and articulate speakers about fat issues in our culture in ways that I am not. And chances are, if you've already in that category, you've probably already seen this link about weight loss dieting; I found it on Body Impolitic. But if you're not in that category, I highly recommend the article.
