Virtual Window Shopping: Big On Batik
3 comments on Virtual Window Shopping: Big On Batik[Looking at supersize / extended size clothing which is to say, clothing I can wear. Preferably modeled by fat people.] Big On Batik has lots of yummy things on sale, including their sweetheart top, scoop tee, and handkerchief top — not to mention dresses and Hawaiian-style shirts. Big On Batik has been an internet store catering to fats since its inception. They do make some appearances at events, such…

Quote of the Day: Fat Acceptance Made Exercise Easier
One of the things I like exploding people’s heads with is the fact that embracing FA made it *easier* for me to exercise. Before, exercise was always this horrible, dreary thing I “had” to do so that I’d be “thin,” and if I didn’t get “thin” I was failing, which made me not want to exercise. Once I accepted fat as okay, exercise became a lot more…

Musical Interlude: The Girl That’s Never Been
This is just a song I really enjoy. “No-one’s sane behind their mask.” Vixy & Tony mostly perform in the Seattle area, but also travel to various Scifi cons. This song’s lyrics are here.

Is it fat or lack of exercise?
Lately I’ve felt like the “Maybe you want to exercise?” fairy. People muse about aches, lack of energy, difficulty walking, and wonder if it’s weight or just aging…. And I pop in with, “Are you sure it’s not lack of exercise?” Please understand, I’m not actually trying to make people crazy. See, I’ve weighed over 350lbs for over 15 years. During that time: I’ve been in very poor…

Shades of Right Fit Jeans! Junonia has come out with a series of sport pants in 4 different cuts, in sizes 1X to 6X, and 3 different lengths. Nice, eh? Well…sort of. You see, they’re not giving any custom sizing for them — just talking about cut in the description. Has it perhaps not occurred to them that things like “garment waistband measurement” or “garment hip measurement”…

Thankful Thursday
[a not-always-weekly exercise in gratitude] 1) I did one of my shorter walking routes at work yesterday. A little over a third of a mile, but longer than I walked yesterday and Tuesday. Kept reminding myself to keep my stride short (long strides irritate my hip) and that I’m supposed to be easing back into daily walking. But still! I did it! 2) … and I was…

What’s Up With You?
Hi y’all. Feel like it’s been a while since I had a real post. So. Still here. Still fat. What’s changed: Started walking again. The hip pain I referenced about 10 days ago? Still here. Still decreasing, thank heavens, but still here. I took nearly two weeks off from walking every day. I have begun doing very short walks again, and have continued to do leg lifts…

Happy President’s Day!
As American holidays go, President’s Day isn’t as frequently observed as, oh, Thanksgiving. But I do get the day off, and I am definitely enjoying the 3-day weekend. Whether you’re at home or work, I thought something to laugh about might be good. So here is Tom Smith singing his song “Spoiler Alert” (lyrics). (Tom is an independent artist who sells his albums online :)

Friday Fluff
Okay, y’all, this week has been depressing. First Michelle Obama wants to make fat kids thin through the magic of exercise. Then the media asserts that deaths from alcoholic liver disease are due to childhood obesity and talks about diet and exercise for kids as if it’s never been done before and all of this reminds me of how every diet I’ve been on eventually resulted…
