Morning Television: Part One

I started out with the idea of blogging about one particular thing, but when I went looking for clips of that one thing, I found something else that I hadn’t seen.  So this will be a two-part post.
Part One: Georgia Davis
From the video description: Georgia Davis weighs 33 stone [462 lbs] and is only [...]

Misconceptions about Fat Acceptance

Why oh why is it that some people see the words “Fat Acceptance” and automatically assume that what we’re promoting is sitting on the couch all day, eating baby-flavored donuts and Mickey Dee’s, and very little else?
The most recent post over at Eat a Cheeseburger got me thinking about this again, but it’s come up [...]

What *I* want for Fat Acceptance.

Quite a few blog posts have had me thinking about this.  One of which I have to admit, I sparked.  And because we’re not a monolithic group, because we’re made up of many different people from many different walks of life who have many different personal goals regarding FA, I decided I needed to be [...]

Mother, you’re breaking your Daughter’s heart.

I wasn’t sure how I wanted to write this.  I knew I wanted to write about it, from the moment I had this conversation with her, but I just didn’t know how to approach it.  I’ve decided to make it an open letter to my mother.
Mother,
My heart is breaking for you.  This year has been [...]

Fat Family: an Observation

Yesterday was my best friend’s (May) daughter’s (Hayley) birthday.  As I’ve said before, my best friend and her family are like my own second family.  And apparently the feeling is mutual, because Charlene (May’s 2nd daughter) said practically the same thing to me the other night.
While we were all out together, we ran into [...]

On Comparisons and Food

I found myself quite busy last night, due mainly to it being that time of the month.  I was feeling like shit much of yesterday, and spent most of the morning sitting on the couch doubled over in pain.  By mid-afternoon I was feeling much better, so I ended up doing all my chores late, [...]

Now Global Warming is our Fault, Too!

According to this article, us lazy fatties are to blame for global warming.
Nice, huh?
Now, maybe I’m being overly sensitive – and if I am, go ahead and tell me, it’s okay – but this is just pissing me off.  It seems like every other day, we’re being blamed for something else.  First, we’re putting pressure [...]

Hypocrisy in Action

You know what really pisses me off?  When I read other people’s blogs and see the trolls saying things like “of course it’s your fault you’re fat – you absolutely have to be stuffing your face incessantly all day long.”
Here’s an example:
[name deleted] wrote I’m fat, and its really not my fault…
On November 5 she wrote [...]

I have a new hero:

Leonard Nimoy.
I admit, I’ve always liked him.  I’ve thought he was a good actor and a good director.  I’m not sure if you could really call me a “true” Trekkie, but I’ve always enjoyed Star Trek and its various spin-offs, with Mr. Nimoy being one of my favorite actors in the whole franchise.
But now I [...]
