Fun with Search Terms
7 comments on Fun with Search TermsWordPress tracks what people searched on that led them to this site. “Living 400lbs” is probably the most common one and one I find amazing (people are looking for me!) But some are a bit weird, anothers, well, deserve an answer. “i weigh 350 and i cant work” — Weight is not a disability. Most of the time that I weighed 350 I was working at a…

Meet the New Bras…
…same as the old bras…only from a new store. One that I’m not sure if I will order from again. While it was nowhere near the ordeal Lesley had with Avenue, it was its own sort of Special. Bras ordered? April 26, 2009. I send email to check on bras? June 10th, 2009. Email returned as undeliverable? June 10th, 2009. Call to check on order? June 10th,…

Most Fat People Don’t Get Diabetes?
I’ve had it banged over my head for decades that “OMG you’re going to get diabetes!!!!”, so when I read this I was a bit flummoxed: Roughly 20% of the people with Type 2 diabetes are thin, and 75% of obese people never get it. All those years of worry, of dieting to try to avoid diabetes, of being told that I ABSOLUTELY would get diabetes if…

Rethinking Thin and Mindless Eating
This Reason review of both Gina Kolata’s Rethinking Thin: The New Science of Weight Loss— and the Myths and Realities of Dieting and Brian Wansink’s Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think does something one doesn’t often see in writing about the efficacy of diets: It recognizes that losing 10lbs is nothing like losing 100lbs. In Rethinking Thin, Kolata, a veteran New York Times science reporter, focuses on a…

Notes on Sunday’s Web-Surfing
A few notes on things I ran across on the web. Note 0: Fat asthmatics may need weight-based dosing. Suddenly I don’t feel guilty that I sometimes need 3 inhaler puffs instead of 2. Note 1: “The Drink-8-Glasses-of-Water-a-Day is a myth” story has hit Fark. Maybe doctors will get it soon? Note 2: Some of these other medical myths are interesting, too. Note 3: And exercise…

It’s still Thursday on the US left coast ;) 1) Seattle’s unseasonable heat wave is cooling off. Maybe with rain? 2) The glow in my sweetie’s eyes while we ate dinner last night. 3) Got back to the gym tonight and had fun experimenting with weight machines. Also did 20 minutes on the treadmill. 4) June’s 16 hours of daylight is only temporary…same as…
