Football Players and Fat
5 comments on Football Players and FatIt’s September and the American football season has started. Considering how fat people are reviled in America, it’s fascinating how the biggest football players still receive the cachet of being professional athletes. I started thinking of this when I realized that the treadmills at Fitness World* allow me to enter my actual weight. Then the mini-gym at work replaced its treadmills and they don’t top out at 330 or…

[Another weekly exercise in gratitude.] 1) The man of the house made dinner — patty melt for me, with minced onion & mushrooms mixed into the patty, and a chili burger for him. Yum. 2) Successfully moving my sleep schedule earlier, so I get to work in good time and get enough sleep. 3) The cable company is currently our of lives and we have faster internet access…

Surgically attach mesh to tongue so eating is painful
Remember how they used to wire jaws shut to “enforce” a liquid diet? New “hotness” is to surgically attach a postage-stamp-sized piece of mesh to the tongue. As the Chicago Tribune put it: The tongue patch, which is supposedly taking Southern California by storm — 10 people have it — remains in your mouth for a month, a daily reminder that you shouldn’t eat. During that…

Shopping: Bras, Bras, Bras
(“Bras, Bras, Bras” to be whined in an intonation similar to the infamous “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia”) Sometimes I wonder if the bra I wear most is as supportive as they feel or if I’m just really used to them—in fact, I think a lot of bra comfort has to do with what you’re used to and what you look for in a bra. I want it to hold…

Rap and Talk Radio
Yes, this is off-topic, but I thought this comparison of rap and talk radio was rather good, actually. This seemed like a good question to pose to a man uniquely situated to opine about the shaded part of the Venn diagram of rap and conservative talk radio. I’m talking about DJ Clayvis, né Clay Clark, an Oklahoma-based, right-leaning talk show host and rapper. He has written anti-Obama…

[Another weekly exercise in gratitude.] 1) Spent ~3 hours walking through exhibits at the state fair earlier this week with the man of the house and I felt fine :) 2) Wonderful weather — low 70s, not too sunburn-y but not raining. :) 3) Two members of my chosen family started new jobs. 4) Yoga. 5) I’m thankful for the man of the house, who loves — and likes — me…

Believe in Your Limitations, and They’re Yours
Last week I posted some statistics about height and weight. Partly it’s because the statistics surprised me a bit — I thought women were taller and heavier, on average, than they are. I also thought it would be an interesting bit of data to discuss and think about. There’s something else, though. I accepted the data when I read it. I could’ve denied it. I could have…

Virtual Window Shopping Swimsuits
[Looking at supersize / extended size clothing, which is to say, clothing I can wear. Preferably modeled by fat people] I’m looking forward to a sunny vacation in November. So naturally I’m looking at swimsuits. Even though I already have 4 suits. Okay, if you don’t want to know why I have so many suits, skip down. I liked my deep size 30 V-neck skirted-style once-piece…
