I’m so happy to be somewhat back to normal, thanks to my CPAP machine. I have better days and worse days, and I’m still struggling…

Image description: A fat Hawaiian woman with brown skin and black hair lifts a long pearl necklace toward a cloudy sky and blue water. Whose responsibility is it to fix fatphobia and weight stigma?
