A self portrait as part of my F A T project painted in ink
The day I had a phone call off a GP - who didn't know why he'd rung… then said ‘oh I’m looking at your notes and …you're very fat. You have the largest BMI I've ever seen'.
I replied - laughing because I couldn't quite believe it
‘Are you saying I’m the fattest person in the village'…
‘Yes’
I wanted to die
