So, a nasty cold/flu/whatever thing meant that I needed to call my doc today for an appointment to get checked out. After two hours of not hearing from her, I gave up and called the clinic my husband visited for the first time yesterday. One same-day appointment later, it really is just a [...]

It has been the most Mondayish of Mondays, what with the carryover of feeling nauseated all day yesterday, which meant I didn’t get nearly as much done as I had hoped, save for baking a homemade peach pie (and even that wasn’t quite right, because I forgot the lemon juice, which meant it was a [...]

Today the BBC is running a story claiming that tall people are more likely to develop cancer. Apparently, ‘[f]or every four inches (10cm) above five feet a person was, the researchers said they had a 16% increased cancer risk.’
The article is no more or less detailed than most BBC news stories on medicine – [...]

Dear JK Rowling:
The Harry Potter books have brought me much reading enjoyment over the years and, as we begin to read them to my four-year-old (who follows along eagerly with every word), they are bringing him much joy also.
But Joanne, why do you hate fat people?
As I read from one of the first (possibly [...]

The Great Tumblr Size 6 Debate Of 2011 [tm] rages on and I’d like to ask a question. Seriously. Who has been told that they are too thin for FA? Seriously.
I don’t mean “who’s been told that, objectively speaking, they aren’t fat enough to post in a fat-specific space.” I want [...]

I belong to a pregnancy group on Livejournal, not because I’m currently pregnant (or likely to be ever again) but because I generally think it’s good for the current pregnates* to have the Wise Wisdom of Wiseness from women who’ve been there. Also, I like to pipe up now and then to remind the [...]

I work with a “business membership organization” and one of our recent upper-level members is, heaven help us, a bariatric surgery clinic.
Today they had a tour of our office and, as I was filling in for the receptionist during her lunch, I got to hear that “the childhood obesity epidemic in this country is out [...]

God bless Michelle, of The Fat Nutritionist for a wonderful post, which I missed when it was first posted a couple of days ago, that put me in a far better mood, especially after a lunch of mustard-breadcrumb chicken and rice leftovers. Yum!
Part of my blues in my last post were, I suspect, PMS-related. [...]

It was a tough day today – please be aware that this post is full of all of my thought demons (the ones that still play in my head sometimes despite all of my work on self-acceptance and FA). If that will trigger you, please do not read on!!
I know I’ve mentioned before that [...]

I can tell I’m feeling overloaded when I start forgetting things…like updating a record at work only to forget, within six weeks, that I had ever updated it at all (and being shocked when the note on the record says that I was the one to do it). I’ve forgotten a chiropractor appointment, almost [...]
