2 inches of *Scandal*

Yesterday I needed to run over to my grandmother’s house.
Okay, I didn’t need to, but I wanted to. There was gram’s famous bean soup to be had…only a moron would pass that up. (Or someone that doesn’t like bean soup, but those don’t exist in my world). So I left my husband at home with […]

Fat House

Is that like cat house?
Honestly, I just found this video so…odd.

From the fat woman talking about the obesity epidemic, to the crazy segue into female genital mutilation - which I can’t even cope with the concept of. I get all shaky and freaked out.
More than anything, the mind blowing concept that it’s not enough to […]

SkinnySongs Sucks

Can you believe this? There is a site, a cd, an actual product called SkinnySongs.
Could this possibly be more offensive?
With songs like “Skinny Dreams” and “The Incredible Shrinking Woman”
I wish I could be eloquent about this, but I’m too angry.
Just in case you don’t hate yourself enough….you can have a CD to hate yourself wherever […]

Vanity Sizing

I know it’s ghetto to quote Wikipedia in most cases, but hey, it’s a simple entry in case you don’t know what vanity sizing is, either.
My favorite quote from the Wikipedia entry:
Finally, it has been suggested[9] that vanity sizing merely reflects the increasing prevalence of obesity.[10] [11]
My second favorite quote from the same entry:
Designer Nicole […]

It’s a Thinspiracy!

I love words that are a creation of other words.
Thinspiracy is my new favorite word, I have to say.
No reason, I don’t think it’s a conspiracy or anything…I just think that fat people are discriminated against at worst, and at the very least, people think we eat fried food and bon bons all day.
Ultimately it […]

Sewing Perhaps?

I have no clothes.
Let me rephrase that…I have very few clothes. No, still not right. I have lots of clothes, it just so happens that very few of them fit.
When I was pregnant it seemed that every friend of a friend was getting WLS - so guess who got all the cast-off clothing? That would […]

Holiday Shrapnel

I don’t know about your family, but mine is awful on holidays.
They’re nice, fun, sweet and loving - but it is difficult not to leave feeling so awful about myself that I want to cry.
My great-grandmother is basically bedridden at this point, so when we visit her home we all go in and visit her […]

Hating Easter

As a fat woman, I think Easter is the very worst day of the year for my personal food issues.
I don’t like chocolate that much, but I find myself being lured by bunnies and eggs and other chocolate confections I know I won’t like. My family will also have oodles of crap in open bowls […]

Mike and Juliet Show | A call to end plus sized discrimination

A light hearted morning show aired a topic close to my heart this morning.
It may be a rebroadcast. I’m not sure.
Click here to go to the Mike and Juliet site and watch a call to end plus sized discrimination!

There are fat clubs? Sign me up!

I’m easily amazed, let me just say that right up front.
When I ran across this article in the St. Petersburg Times (on tampabay.com) called “Fun, in a big way” my jaw almost bounced off the floor!
There are dance clubs that cater to fat people.
Clubs for fun-seeking overweight men and women are gaining popularity in […]
