Back On The Treadmill
3 comments on Back On The TreadmillGot back on the treadmill today. (Actual for-exercise home treadmill, not a job.) I started this a while ago, but the last 2 weeks my schedule has been a bit off. I don’t do much, because I can’t. The shortness of breath persisted way past the rest of my recovery from the pulmonary embolism. I walk about five minutes at 0.8 or 0.9 or 1 mph to…

Thankful Thursday
Starting this practice again. Our single-story home. We’ve been here for 2 years now, and it’s still the right decision. Unpacked some boxes this week. (We’re old and thus have lots of stuff.) Chosen family. Twitter friends. My mobility scooter, which makes events and shopping easier.

December Again
Reviewing old posts tells me that in December 2010 I was unemployed and job hunting. Now I’m unemployed and not job hunting. In a lot of ways I’m resting now, catching up on day to day. I’ve been cooking again. I’ve been sorting through clothes and fighting my “but I might never find this again and what if my body size changes?” reactions to actually part with…

Hi Again
Didn’t mean to leave things on a cliffhanger, more that I wandered away from the keyboard and didn’t come back. (Oops!) My lung function is, apparently, fine. My shortness of breath and fatigue are due to another issue that I’m working on with yet another specialist. In other things, I’m trying to write more (failing), have a book to beta-read (failing), and trying to keep up with…

Medical Tests of the Itchy Sort
In May 2018 I was short of breath. I thought I might have pneumonia. Turned out they found a pulmonary embolism and I spent 4 days in ICU. I was finally discharged to go home and rest. This also came shortly after a kidney stone and high blood pressure diagnosis, and I was really, really, tired. But my lung capacity, while better than with the PE, still…

Barry Deutsch Interview
I first encountered Barry at via “Alas, a Blog“, which led me to his political cartoon site Lefty Cartoons and Twitter. Q: How would you introduce yourself? I’m Barry Deutsch, a cartoonist who does graphic novels and political cartoons. I sometimes do political cartoons with fat acceptance themes (and I want to do more). I’ve been very hesitant about doing fat-acceptance political cartoons, because it’s such a personal subject…

New Series – Interviews
I’ve started interviewing fellow fats to include here. But, if I’m going to ask others to do this, I thought it might be best if I did as well. So… Q: How would you introduce yourself? Hi, I’m Jen. I’ve been writing here about being fat since September 2008. There are linked Twitter and Tumblr accounts: @Living400lbs and Living400lbs.tumbler.com. In my normal life, I’ve been a software…

Weight Watchers Continues To Spew Waste
I probably don’t need to say I think WW’s app for kids is poised to mess up kids’ lives. That research shows dieting leads to long-term weight gain. Or that disordered eating is often dieting with a different name. But if you are looking for more info: EATER: Weight Watchers Debuts an App That Could Screw Up Your Kid’s Relationship With Food for Life The Mary Sue: Why…
