“Pfff… I’ve lost so much weight that it’s falling off…” Mary adjusts her octopus costume, whose swollen tentacles form a purplish crinoline. This evening, the congresswoman will once again win the prize for best disguise as part of the “Disney competition” organized by the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC), an association which supports Americans struggling with obesity. In this heavenly hotel in Disneyworld, Florida, navigating between the tables where a large Tinkerbell, a mother-son duo in an Indestructible onesie, the Grinch and several voluptuous Minnies are dining, Mary is the queen of a curvaceous party .
Every year, she is there for the Your Weight Matters convention (“your weight matters”, a nod to the slogan “Black Lives Matter”), three days of scholarly conferences interspersed with zumba, aquagym and lightsaber. But this year is special for Mary, who came back 27 kilos lighter after undergoing Ozempic treatment.
