Haley Morris-Cafiero - Wait Watchers

Her work is hard for me to look at because I've been subjected to the same prejudice.  People are just rude sometimes.  This photographer, Haley Morris-Cafiero, started a series of photographs centered around her weight.  It caught my eye because of the message it sends.  She turns the tables and is essentially staring back at them.

This is an uncomfortable topic for me.  I used to weigh about 300 lbs.  I've lost a lot and for a long time I stayed right at 150 lbs.  Lately I am creeping back up there (to about 180 lbs.)  I'm getting scared it's all gonna happen again.  I have so much stress lately it's mind blowing.  So I know that's why I'm having trouble.  It's like alcoholism.  You can stay sober for the longest time, but if you fall off that wagon, you're back in the shit.  No matter how small I've been I never feel "normal."  Her images are really hard for me to look at.
