We assign so much value to our outer appearance while, too often, neglecting everything else. We forget that the love we deserve, the life we imagine possible, and the ability to become better than we are today, is not about our weight, but about how we weigh in on the things that truly matter. This collection of short stories and first-person narratives all bring us one moment in time closer to an ideal of how life can look when we see deeper than outward appearances. In the time we take to see someone, or ourselves, we’ve often missed so much while trying to achieve ‘sameness’ – and that’s where Full Figured breaks down the barriers that keep us from being important to all of the people who matter, including ourselves.
