Here’s how she describes herself:…

“Who you are today is a valid and important part of the journey of your life. Please meet that person and welcome them, they are a foundation of who you are, even if you are not always in this exact body as this exact person. Your body is not a signal of your moral value…

“My fiction features “Big Beautiful Heroines” who always feel good about themselves. Even if they go into the book not feeling self-confident, they feel that way by the end of the book. I will NEVER put one of my heroines on a weight-loss diet.” » Pat Ballard Today’s interview is with fat-positive author Pat Ballard….

“Eating disorders and body shame are things I have struggled with and I want to help others to find a way through this pain to greater freedom. It also means I work as an activist to fight against all forms of oppression, since this is the source of body shame and other forms of violence…

“My most popular item is a t-shirt with a silly drawing of a woman picking her nose! This makes me happy in a way because it’s not something people would usually want to see but people like seeing it on a t-shirt! I most enjoy drawing people and their bodies because as cheesy as it…
