Ah, Teh Sex ;)
(Misspelling intentional!) Marianne posted about sex yesterday, and Red No. 3 followed up with a post today. So, it’s kind of a blogaround! :) I did a general post on sex a few years ago. A few things I’d add now: At age 44 I have had more partners than the “average American woman”. […]

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 […]

A Year or Two Ago…
Two years ago I wrote about my knee problems for the first time. I also compared what I think of as “magazine math” such as “An average person walking half an hour a day will lose 13 pounds a year” with an actual study involving an hour of aerobics a day, 6 days a week […]

A Year or Two Ago…
Just over a year ago we were remembering the deaths of people who were “too fat” to evacuate after Katrina. Later that week I wrote a post on buying plane tickets that still gets a number of hits. Two years ago I wrote one of this blog’s most-googled/viewed posts. (Why “fat woman sex” is one of the […]

FYI: About WordPress.com Ads
I do not directly profit from the Google Ads you may see on my site. In fact, WordPress prevents me from putting many standard advertisements on the site, which I’m fine with — I don’t pay the hosting. So, how do these ads appear? They are placed by WordPress, and are not shown to logged-into-WordPress […]

May at Living ~400lbs
Happy (almost) June! Here in Seattle it’s not so much “summer” as “late spring”. Yes, some of the rosebushes are starting to bloom, but we haven’t had a day yet over 75F. Lots of gray skies, and hey, I don’t have to worry about watering the plants since the sky is doing that […]

Living 400lbs: Short form
It took a year and a half, but I finally have an “elevator pitch” for my blog. “My weight is a big scary number that freaks a lot of people right out. Want me to demystify it for you?” Not that I necessarily need one, but there it is ;)

March’s most popular posts: On Acceptance Why paying attention to weight can be good “Every Little […]

Search Trends: Diabetes
A trend I’ve recently noticed in the search terms (WordPress’s handy table of phrases Google says people searched on to get to my site): fat people who don’t have diabetes. Specific examples: why not all obese people get diabetes do all overweight people get diabetes i’m obese; will i get diabetes? why obese people get […]
