Fatastic! From one fat bitch to another, "You rock!"

I am working on getting fit, also. I have just begun biking on a stationary recumbent bike. My goal is to go on a week bike ride this summer (without leaving my house :), to go on a "century ride" -- to ride 100 miles in one day at least once this s…

This post inspired me to see if I can cultivate some interest in the children's theatre group that I belong to in doing some projects related to children and body image. I have worked with adults and self esteem development and there are others who…

This happens so often. People have such little concern, that maybe someone beside them may have went through the very thing they are so brazenly speaking about. Not once, thinking that they have just ruined someone's day or maybe even worse. Not onc…

What we teach fat children

So, after work I went into the canteen/cafe on campus for my dinner. I bought my meal and sat down at one of the comfy tables, intending to eat my dinner and read a little before I headed to anime society. Unfortunatley, where I was sat, I couldn't help but overhear the conversation of the two women on the table next to me. One of the women was remenissing to the other, talking about a girl she knew in high school.

You see, this girl she knew in high school was fat. This was horrible, horrible… Continue

Fitness and fat

I have made a decision, I want to get fit. I'm not fit now, I pant when I walk up the stairs. This summer I'm going to an anime convention which involves camping, and will no doubt involve a lot of running around with water guns and other sillyness, and I don't want to be the person who has to go and sit out after ten minutes because they're not fit.

The problem I'm coming across is how much, in our society, we equate fit with thin.

I'm not trying to loose weight.

I mean, since I'm planning o… Continue

Those fat people just won't stop eating

New scientist reports on an 'anti-fat' pill

This study highilights a compound that tells the body it's full. Appart from the implications of tricking your body into believeing you've had enough food to satisfy your hunger when you haven't and the potential for misuse to prevent hunger pangs when starvation dieting, it just plays into the entire idea that fat people are fat because we can't… Continue

Fat Bitch

Reposted from my general blog - http://onwardstophd.blogspot.com/

The other day, a group of my friends were talking about the worst name you could use on a dating website, as a woman looking to attract men. The first thing that popped out of their mouths, "Fat bitch".

Well, I'm a fat bitch. I'm proud to be a fat bitch.

I'm fat. I have the kind of body that, when I go to a doctor, they immediatley start looking shifty and plotting a way to get me on the scales. Even if I was weighed on my last… Continue
