Virtual Window Shopping: Tie Dye
8 comments on Virtual Window Shopping: Tie Dye[Virtual Window Shopping is looking at supersize / extended size clothing that I think is nifty. Preferably modeled by fat people.] I confess: I am in lust with this violet and black tie-dye tee. Mostly I love the colors and abstract color patterning – I like that it’s not a uniform print, or if it is, it’s a large enough print that it doesn’t look cookie-cutter. I…

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Not too hot today, so the HVAC system at work going out for most of the day didn’t lead to sweltering…. Helped the man of the house move some equipment that I distinctly remember was really heavy … only it didn’t seem that heavy when I was carrying it tonight. (The dumbbell workouts are paying off!) Fun time with friends watching the Sounders…

Do you like Gina Kolata*?
I’m not sure why Book Review: Ultimate Fitness by Gina Kolata is back in the top 10 most-read posts or why “Gina Kolata” is my #1 search term. I am curious though. Thoughts? *Yes I know “Kolata” is not her birth name. Yes, I was making a pun on “Gina Kolata” and “Pina Colada”. If you think that’s bad, don’t click play.

Why I like Aravon sandals
I love having sandals I can get on the treadmill with and not walk out of! Specifically they’re Aravon 3 Strap Sandals I got a few years ago. Today I felt like going for a walk. Not wanting to burn in the sunshine I decided I’d try the treadmill despite my sandals. I only did .6 miles (going uphill for much of it), enough to get the…

“I support the radically simple idea that people should not be discriminated against, made fun of, restricted, or oppressed because of the size and shape of their bodies. Moreover, I believe that everyone has a right to dignity, respect, and self-love, and that jokes that denigrate fat people are just as offensive as those that denigrate women or ethnic groups.” — Marty Hale-Evans Throughout my dieting years,…

Music Monday: Love & Harmony
I first heard Marian Call sing this song at a house concert in Seattle and I laughed hysterically. It’s just the right mix of fun and pathos. Sorry, I don’t have the lyrics for this one. BTW: Marian is currently on a 50-state (and some provinces) no-label tour. She’s playing house concerts, coffee shops, comic stores – you name it. So if you live in the US…

When normal isn’t normal
Yesterday Wendy published a 2-line poem titled “when normal isn’t normal”. i suffer from mental health is there something wrong with me You may or may not identify with this. Yes, being fat can influence this. There have been studies trying to determine if obesity is a mental illness (it’s not). Being fat in a fat-phobic society is stressful. Fat people have higher rates of depression…

[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] Being reminded I live in a Futuristic Sci-Fi World. My desk at work is now closer to a window. Something about “getting some natural light” is nice. Being able to take some time during the day to stretch. Fresh strawberries… Celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary this week with the man of the house. :)

Fat Acceptance Quote for Parents and Teachers
If you exercise as “punishment” for weighing too much, how can you learn to enjoy being active? If you eat salads only as a way to change the body you hate, how will you enjoy the wonderful tastes of fresh vegetables? Besides, if hating one’s body effectively motivated change, do you really think there would be many heavy people in the world? Accepting yourself as you are…
