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 [...]

Never good enough.
I know that my fiance will always want a woman who is thinner than me, with bigger breasts, and that he’s less attracted to me than to women like that. It makes me feel horrible. Not because he’s a bad man, but because he’s a really, really, really good man. The culture he grew up [...]

BeingGirl: For girls, by liars
This morning, Harriet Brown had a wonderful post to which I felt compelled to respond upon a bit more digging. “BeingGirl: For girls, by girls,” a site hosted by Proctor & Gamble, is one of those places that draws in teenage girls with cutesy graphics and shitty writing (by the staff), and better writing which [...]

Throwing Off the Diet Cross
Sparked by both red3′s terrific post Changing the Conversation, by an actual conversation I had with my stepmother last night, a life-time thin person. Comparing Oppressions I observe much apologizing to other oppressed groups whenever someone tries to analogize fat oppression in a way those who still don’t quite accept fat oppression can understand (there’s [...]

The Good Ones…not so hard to find
Yesterday I had a long conversation with my to-be stepdaughter about FA. Being a rail-thin girl her whole life, some of the things I said she couldn’t relate to (like being taunted about one’s weight, or told to lose weight, and so forth). However, she was surprisingly “in” the conversation: when I cited the statistic [...]

The Cycle of Life, or The Ones that Came Before Me
My grandmother sent me a thirty-page family history she’d written a few years ago. It had been created for her children, she summarized, “So that you will know your story.” It delves two to three generations before her birth, explicating the lives of her mothers’ and fathers’ family. Many of the people in her story [...]

What the Hell?? Fat Quiz
Go to the place easiest for, say, a twelve-year-old girl to find: http://fat-quiz.com Description of the fat quiz: Are You Fat? Here’s the text: Am I Fat? Is that something that you ask yourself? If so, it’s probably because you are fat, or you have an eating disorder. If you feel fat and you look [...]

Congratulations to Joanne Borgella…don’t EVER give up on your singing…
…because you’re afraid of size discrimination. Girl, I gave up my dream of singing because I didn’t think anyone would cast a 6′ 0″, 220 lb girl in a main singing part of, well, anything. I didn’t think I would have a chance to be a soloist, since even most classical singers aren’t supposed to [...]
