Things I Would Like To Not Care About
27 comments on Things I Would Like To Not Care AboutI would like to not worry about: Whether a medical professional will consider my symptoms before making a diagnosis. Whether a job interviewer will not hire me because I’m fat. Whether the friend talking about her diet is doing so as a way of passive-aggressively commenting on my body size, eating habits, or perceived dieting […]

Gowns and Gowns
A couple random thoughts: The hospital gowns at the doctor’s office are always too small. I know I could buy my own, but that seems like overkill. Today, though, I was just going in for a pap smear, so I wore a dress that could easily hiked up and just removed my panties and shoes. […]

A year or two ago …
Two years ago, I wrote 2 of the most-read posts of this blog: on stress incontinence and jock itch. I worked hard on both of those posts. I was a bit embarrassed to admit they were problems I deal with, but I also felt that writing a bad post on either would be worse […]

When You Get Used To People Not Having Your Size…
…you don’t expect them to have your size. It’s like, I don’t know, logic. As Red No 3 put it (emphasis added): See, what’s going on here [at Saks] is a bit of product testing. This is only being launched in one location. They see how it goes, and then decide how to expand. Its […]

On not buying clothes
I mentioned in my last post that I haven’t bought clothes in a while. My previous clothing purchase was a Sounders green item to wear to Sounders games, bought at my husband’s urging. I bought bras in February. In September 2009 I replaced 3 worn-out pairs of knit pants and some bras. July 2009 I […]

Jeans and big bellies
Today I am wearing jeans. This is abnormal. It didn’t used to be — like many American girls, I grew up wearing jeans. After college, working at a major software company, jeans were like a uniform. I wasn’t one the guys, but wearing the same clothes helped me fit in: jeans, a t-shirt […]

March Round-Up
This is partly for me, and partly to show folks a little of what’s going on “behind the curtain”. I’ve considered calling it “Best of Living 400lbs” but I’m not sure it’s really the best articles…what do you think? March’s most popular posts: On Acceptance Why paying attention to weight can be good “Every Little […]

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 […]

Disney World
As hinted yesterday, my November vacation was Disney World! For a week! Yes, it was fantastic. We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter, visited in-laws, did Mission: Space, Soarin’, ate Moroccan food, laughed at Ellen & Bill Nye, geeked out at Spaceship Earth, loved Big Thunder Mountain and Test Track, enjoyed lunch with an Imagineer, and […]

Virtual Window Shopping: Sanctuarie Va-Voom
[Looking at supersize / extended size clothing which is to say, clothing I can wear. Preferably modeled by fat people.] Sanctuarie’s princess-seamed dress and wrap might work for Valentine’s Day. Or clubbing. I’m not feeling quite enough love to buy a dress that would require a strapless bra, but it is nice to see a dressy […]
