Plus-Sized Athletes (with heads)
There’s a story making the rounds on “plus-sized athletes” reacting to the US “Let’s Move” campaign. The fitness community has embraced the first lady’s ‘Let’s Move’ program, but many health experts balk at equating improving health with lowering weight. Fat aerobics instructor Sandy Shaffer and physical trainer GeMar Neloms are interviewed. Dr Kenneth Cooper, a longtime supporter of measuring fitness independent of body weight, comments. All suggest that…

What’s the fattest country in the world?
Well, one question is, who cares? Okay, we know the media cares, and legislators, and Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign. Dr Samantha Thomas recently posted about some myths popular in the Australian press, including that Australia is the “fattest country”. (Hint: it isn’t.) She also linked to some statistics, ranking countries by the percent of the female adult population that is officially obese (BMI >…

New HAES Study
Science is not a sacred cow. Science is a horse. Don’t worship it. Feed it. — Aubrey Eben The new Health At Every Size paper, by Linda Bacon and Lucy Aphramor, is titled Weight Science: Evaluating the Evidence for a Paradigm Shift. From the abstract: Current guidelines recommend that “overweight” and “obese” individuals lose weight through engaging in lifestyle modification involving diet, exercise and other behavior…

Sex or Thinness?
Obviously it takes a certain kind of mind to ask 2,400 women if they would sacrifice a full year of sex to be skinny. In this case, the mind works at Fitness magazine. 51% of the 2,400 women said “Yes”. Now, I’m sure that some of those women interpreted “sex” to mean “sex with a partner”, are single, and figure they aren’t getting any anyway, so why not? However,…

Yelling Out The Car Window
Today a young(ish?) male passenger in a car yelled something at me out of the car window. I was walking down the sidewalk at the time.* This isn’t common around here, perhaps because Seattleites are reserved (or unsocial, take your pick) — and/or because it’s the suburbs, so not a huge number of walkers anyway. I could tell by his tone that he was yelling rather loudly and…

Happy Valentine’s Day
Wishing you hugs & love today — whether you’re hugging your pet, your stuffed animal, a friend, a lover, a child, or all of the above! Today I had lunch with the man of the house. Now I am smiling at the white roses I picked up yesterday and about to dive into my (American) tax return.

Ban Fat Marriage?
Yes, I know that Dan Savage’s screed on banning fat marriage is trying to illustrate the point that gay marriage bans are ludicrous. Fellow Stranger writer Lindy West has already responded with a solid “why fat hate doesn’t work” aimed at those who don’t want to get it, and I don’t disagree with it. However. I do think Dan seriously missed the boat bringing up the silly “fat is…

Tummy & Bra Liners & AmpleStuff
For those who are tired of sweat collecting underneath their tummies, AmpleStuff is now carrying Tummy Liners made by Pambra of bra liner fame. I haven’t tried them, but Stilletto posted a review of the tummy liner, and Notblueatall posted a review of both the bra and tummy liners. I’ve mentioned before that I use baby powder to combat belly and underbust chafing. It’s probably why I haven’t noticed a problem…
