One of the fat-positive feeds I follow on Twitter posted a link to this little gem entitled "Why I'm Glad I Gained 100 Pounds", and it really stunned me that a feed that otherwise has been so good about really talking about fat activism and ways to empower women of size who get trashed by society would post this link ( Read more... )

The scales confirms that I am below the 230 mark, clocking in this morning at a more svelte 227. I'm not sure what the Wii will say tomorrow, but I'm hoping that it will confirm that. The Wii tends to weigh me heavier (by 5 pounds or so), but it also charts my weight, so if I'm at the same relative position, I'll know it's for real ( Read more... )

2 Things That Are Good About Today (So Far)

I'm really getting sick and tired of people (notably thin people who think they know everything about health and weight loss) who feel the need to pressure us larger types into considering/getting weight loss surgery as though it's somehow really easy just to pop into a doctor's office and get that little obesity problem fixed right up ( Read more... )

I would just like it known that I really, really fucking hate my body. I hate that I have to work out for an hour a day, eating no more than 1200 calories per day (most of that fruit and veggies) just to peel off one measely pound ( Read more... )

It's 18 degrees outside. Sweet skwered shishkabobs, that's cold. Which kind of puts the kabosh on my usual morning walk/jog. I'm dedicated, but I'm not that dedicated. Plus, I just don't have the kind of clothing that could keep me suitably warm. I'd freeze my ass off (literally), and I just don't think I could deal with an assectomy right now ( Read more... )

I'm finally back home after being in Tennessee with my dad and stepmom and grandmother for a few days. Oddly enough, I had a better time with my father than my mother this year. Those who know my family situation will find this as strange as I do ( Read more... )

It's been raining all day, thus putting the kabosh on my morning exercise routine, which is outdoors ( Read more... )

Today is the first day this week I haven't gotten up and gone walking/jogging. Lately, I've been doing it at, like, 6:45 in the morning. But that's because Andrew leaving wakes me up and so I just stay awake. Plus, it's been very cool in the mornings (in the 60's!), so I figure, make hay while the sunshines.

Also, saw a cool meme via desperance. 100 Foods ( Read more... )

Wow, I really haven't posted here in a while, have I? I guess because my life is really not that interesting right now ( Read more... )
