I've been aware of the basic issues since way back in college (I've been reading soc.support.fat-acceptance on Usenet since sometime in the mid-90s, before it moved to a moderated group.)
My favorite current reading is a blog called Shapely Prose (http://kateharding.net/) which does a great job of providing resources and news and other stuff, and also of being a place to talk about the bits that do require some management at times (heat rash, exercise options that work well for people of larger size, etc.)
One thing I've done with myself is developed the habit of when I look at people, thinking of one thing I find beautiful about them. I've been finding it's really kicking in, especially right now, where I'm spending a lot of time seeing different people (nurses, etc.) come in and out while I'm sitting with elisem in the transitional care center. I find when I do that regularly, it's easier to see that in me, too.
