A Note of Thanks to Leonard Nimoy and Marilyn Wann
I just wanted to write a short note of thanks to Leonard Nimoy, the author/photographer of “The Full Body Project.” [and to Marilyn Wann for the wonderful interview!] Why the thanks? It’s not just because you’re a brilliant artist who has exposed the beauty of a currently culturally vilified body-type; nor just because you showed [...]

Food Ethicism or, The Cult of the Salad
Almost everyone believes there are such things as “good” and “bad” foods. The notion is inculcated within us from a very young age, and right now various agencies are pushing to make the notion of food ethics formally taught in schools. The problem with food ethicism is, of course, that it has no real definition. [...]

The Self-Loathing of our Parents
This started as a comment on Chrissy’s post “Compliments and Good Intentions.” I began my experiment with non-restrictive “normal” eating about two years ago, and since then I’ve moved up to about the size I was before I started restrictive eating (a size 24, which I wore when I was 15 y/o. I’m 25 y/o, [...]

Cartoon for You
I drew this some months ago. It’s supposed to be — well, ironic. Let me know if it’s too obtuse lol The image is rather small because of the template of this blog design, so I’ll describe it: there’s an “in-betweenie” in the first frame. He/she is happy in the second frame, because he/she is [...]

Congrats, Whitney, for Consistent Showmanship
I want to congratulate Whitney, the winner of America’s Next Top Model, for consistent showmanship, poise, stating a plus-size-positive message whenever she had the opportunity. Here’s a YouTube of her interview on the Regis and Kelly show: I watched a few of the old episodes from YouTube, and I was impressed by how consistently Whitney [...]

Breast cancer is not “as simple as that.”
Vesta44 has a great post today about an article which claims exercise can help reduce breast cancer risk in women. How does the magic exercise pill work? Why, by reducing “the pounds,” (i.e., icky evil FATZ), of course! And we all know that extra of “the pounds” has been shown to be an automatic death [...]

The Fat NIMBY Argument
I’ve stated before that I believe it’s theoretically possible for a dieter to be pro-fat rights. People accept all sorts of contradictions in their lives with seeming ease; one can be a proponent for the rights of a group without wanting to be a member of that group, sure. However, there’s a bigger picture that [...]

Weathering the storm or, growing pains
To start out, I should mention that FA/FL/SA is the first movement of which I’ve been a part as an active member. I’ve considered myself an Objectivist, but I wasn’t exactly an active member of the movement. Other than that, I’ve mostly been on the fringes of the status quo, reading, learning, writing, and keeping [...]

In Honor of International No-Diet Day
…I wrote a poem. It’s called, “I Was Good Today.” I hope you like it. I Was Good Today Now, I was good today. The cravings found no purchase, gained no ground. I saw, I turned my head, temptation fell, slain by my strength. I was so good today. Now, I was good today. Their [...]
