Exercising for Strength
4 comments on Exercising for Strength[Please avoid if references to calorie counting, restriction, or binge eating is a problem. This also goes for most of the links.] Lately I’ve been reading two very different blogs for their exercise content. One is Shaunta Grimes’ Tumblr, where she’s discussing her “100 Day Experiment” with Health At Every Size®. Shaunta had begun her weight-accepting journey years before, but still counted calories and tried not go above…

Norwescon Panel Discussions
Like many fan conventions, Norwescon has lots of panel discussions. There are many areas of focus, including not just sci fi & fantasy but science, space, writing, art, movies, indie filmmaking, gaming, costuming, music, and the culture of fandom. This year, some of the panels included were: Feminism in Fandom Size Acceptance is for Every Body Health At Every Size Cosplaying while Fat The Bechdel Test Escher Girls…

Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding can help others improve their lives, like: Marissa Alexander defense fundraiser Contributing to help Michelle from The Fat Nutritionist become Registered Dietitian. It also creates neat things – some I’ve contributed to have created things like recording “Release The Cello” or (….and pretty much The Doublclicks’ next year.…) Another interesting campaign right now is Fattitude: A Body Positive Documentary. Are there other campaigns you’re supporting now? I wrote more about…

Milestones
So I threw this on twitter, but I’m repeating it here: I’m 48 years old & it’s been over a year since my last period. I’m OK with the first. I’m HAPPY about the second — and yes, it means I’m “officially” considered menopausal. I had a few years of skipping periods in the fall & winter, then getting returning to regularity each summer. I wasn’t entirely…

Music Monday
One of my favorite filk songs, “Uplift” by Andy Eigel, performed by Vixy & Tony. Hopefully it’ll help you wake up today. Also I’ve had emails about people who’ve become interested in Vixy & Tony after I posted about them. If that’s you, there’s an interview with them on YouTube. (Originally it was part of a longer interview that’s no longer there, but this short piece…

Quote of the Day
There are good questions about Fat Acceptance and Health At Every Size, such as the ones asked in the panels I attended at Norwescon. (This led to me updating my FAQ, even.) On the other hand, there’s the recent Thought Catalog article Carolyn Hall wrote on “6 Things I Don’t Understand About The Fat Acceptance Movement,” which really betrays a misunderstanding of what fat acceptance IS. There’s been rebuttals to it published. But I’m…

Back from Norwescon!
As mentioned on Twitter, I was at Norwescon this weekend! One of the most delightful parts was the interview session with special guest Seanan McGuire, who is also Mira Grant. I don’t have that to share with you, but I do have this from her book tour last fall for her book Parasite (which IS about genetically engineered parasites, and yes, it’s touched on in the video). Minute…

Some of them are fun. how do morbidly obese people get dressed Once you manage to buy the clothes it’s not all that different…. how some will look if they weighed 400 lbs at 6 foot 2 inches Depends on the…

Wheezing Around the Block
One of the recent rants I moderated out of the comments included something* about how “wheezing around the block doesn’t count as exercise.” Wheezing is a symptom of asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, and other illness. Deciding that wheezing is only due to weight and only will be treated by weight loss is DANGEROUS. I do wheeze. I have asthma. Now that it is properly treated I can…
