“Biscuits and gravy! Heh, I can’t believe she ordered it.” “Heh, I can. Heh, biscuits and gravy.” The worst part? Those biscuits were the consistency of spongy hockey pucks, and the gravy something between glue and edible. I picked at them, had maybe one bite, and any part of my appetite not killed by the [...]

Food Addiction the Next Focus of Obesity Epipanic
In a study posted online that will appear in the August print issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the response of 48 healthy young women in response to cues signaling impending delivery of a highly palatable food (chocolate milkshake) vs. a tasteless control solution; and consumption [...]

It’s the Little Things…
I was reading up on lower back exercises, when I had the distinct pleasure of coming across this little gem: Circled text: In addition to imparting strength to your core back muscles, this exercise, will also keep a tab on your waistline! Isn’t that a great incentive to do this lower back exercise, specially for [...]

What’s Your Anti-Diet Commercial?
Ah, the season of diets is upon us! There have been some particularly horrendous early contenders — like the one from Nutrisystem about how much better life is for those who’ve dieted away X lbs on Nutrisystem’s diet junk food. The common theme uniting all these commercials is to promulgate the belief that going on [...]

The Dieters’ Clusterfuck
It’s 11:52 a.m. You hear your tummy growling and, with satisfaction, remember that you brought your lunch today. Tuna salad sandwich with muenster cheese, sea-salt-and-cracked-pepper kettle-cooked potato chips, a couple homemade chocolate chip cookies, and Honest Tea. You decide to shoot off a few more emails before heading down to the shared office kitchen to [...]

On Being Pro-Liberty and Anti-Dieting
elizebeth has a post today, in which she says: The conflict comes when I think about suggesting that path for others. It’s one thing for me to say “I’M” fine with accepting my fate…but am I promoting the idea that others should too? What if the science is suggesting that being naturally fat ALSO means [...]

Another One Takes the Cut
I debated a bit whether to post this, but decided to. When I started this particular job some year and a half ago I was pleasantly surprised to note that there were plenty of fat people around – safety in numbers, you know? And I was far from the fattest by any means. But where [...]

On Diets
I’m writing this post in response to Meowser’s excellent post There Are Diets, And Then There Are DIETS. It was truly excellent, and made me start thinking about how my very unusual dietary requirements go practically counter to how fat people such as myself are often told they “should” eat. I have orthostatic hypotension, brachycardia, [...]

Biggest Losers?
My supervisor casually mentioned the other day that there was a “Biggest Loser” contest, and I had no idea what she meant at first. Then I realized – the company is having a diet competition. Well I simply said “Oh, I wouldn’t be interested in that,” which she already knows very well. She tried to [...]
