Internet is part of life, but it’s not all of life.
The people I know offline aren’t surprised that I am married, employed, and co-own a house. The emails I get from this site often assume these aren’t possible, or that I must be some sort of exception. There’s also am assumption that my fat is the biggest problem I have.
No. So no. A world of no.
This is a blog about fat acceptance and demystifying fat. I write about fat, but it’s not the biggest thing.
In February my father went into hospice and my husband nearly died from an infection. My father did die, barely a month later.
My fat is much smaller than that.
I may start posting more about the non-fat parts of my life. Or not. But no, me not posting as much here doesn’t mean I’m not fat anymore. It can mean I’m preoccupied with estate stuff and new hire training and crunch mode and volunteering and and.
The disconnect may be that I announce my weight here. In real life people see it, but I don’t throw out the Big Scary Number.
PS leg lifts love me. :)

My husband was being cute when he said my fat isn’t a problem it’s a feature, but he’s right. Mostly my fat is just something that’s there and other people might have a problem with it but I’m usually happy. Some inconveniences and otherwise life goes on. :)
Indeed. I have less choice in shopping for clothes. But I still have to pay the bills. ;)
Great post. I love the line: “My fat is much smaller than that.” Very true.
Thanks. I know it may seem I’m trying to be morbid, but I’m not. Just … I remember being a teen and my fat was soooo OMG HUGE. And now it’s like, eh.

Wow. I don’t care how you feel about weight, size acceptance or whatever. That’s just really, really rude.
