I get very frustrated when authors get art of their plus size character and commission them as skinny/midsize. What is the point of doing that?

Or when they make the character skinny on the cover. Why?
Note: I’m more talking Indie covers where they have a say and can choose their covers.

today. Today, all my joints are swollen and feel like they’re trying to separate, all my muscles feel like I worked out for 8 hours; so fatigued and so sore. I can barely walk my dog, or get up to eat. I couldn’t sit for extended periods so I had to work lying down today(so grateful I can).

Bad chronic pain days are truly debilitating.

I cannot even begin to really explain to someone that one day I’m fine, but the next day even lying down hurts because the weight of my own body is too much.

I hate it.

Sunday I was fine, walking and moving with no issue. Not Monday, Tuesday, or
