An article sharing my experiences of being plus sized in the outdoors.
‘“When I’m in the outdoors, people judge me based on my appearance. They glance at my size 20 body and assume that I’m inexperienced. They look at my fat belly and presume I’m lazy. They observe my non-technical hiking clothing and decide that I don’t know what I’m doing. They watch me walk slowly up a hill and evaluate my fitness level.”
