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 forgot […]

Possible trigger warning – includes brief mention of past diet methods. Seattle Restaurant Week ended yesterday; for two weeks (yes, yes, I know, but I don’t organize it!), Seattle restaurants offer dinner menus for $25 and, in the case of a few restaurants, $15 lunch menus. My husband, one of his work friends, and I […]

The big Feministe controversy(ies) of the last few weeks has made me think more about an idea that I’ve been mulling over and, I think, I’ve even mentioned in my blog before, namely, the need for an FA community that is greater than a blog feed (wonderful as the Fats feeds are!) and has spaces […]

I sometimes forget that the whole world doesn’t get this FA business and that I am a tiny, lone, frequently ignored voice in a large, fatphobic, slightly crazy world. I can happily tootle along, feeling content with my body and soul, and be slapped across the face by a friend’s post – a drop-dead gorgeous, […]

I deleted my livejournal yesterday. I’ve been on livejournal for eight years. Eight. Years. I’ve blogged about marriage, miscarriage, and parenting woes. I have good friends on the site and friends I keep mostly because I don’t want TEH DRAMA! A friend’s post set me off. She said that she hated her “fat cow” self. […]

I know this has been posted elsewhere on the Fatosphere but thought I’d be sure to include it here, also, as a reminder to those who have seen it elsewhere and haven’t yet participated. Looks like an interesting study! Call for Participants Hi, my name is Michaela A. Null, and I am a doctoral student […]

Katie and Katja have posts on Phys Ed/gym class today and it made me think about my own PE class experience (I grew up in So Cal, so it was more PE and far less “gym” as we didn’t even have a gymnasium until I was in junior high). My parents were missionaries in Burkina […]

See what I did with that title there? Double Meanings FTW! *** I like organic, locally-sourced food. I like growing my own food. I like cooking food and, by golly, I like eating food. So, I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what’s been rubbing me the wrong way about a friend of mine linking […]

I have a recurring dream. I am hunting for an outfit for a special event and searching through my closet, or visiting a plus-sized clothing store. I start looking, feeling depressed and suddenly, just when I am losing hope, find something perfect that I know will fit. It could be a bra that is simultaneously […]
