Alli & Laxitive Abuse

    A convo over at BigFatDelicious has inspired this post.  So, go check out Vesta’s post! So, what kind of ally (okay… “alli”) causes: What are treatment effects? alli™ works by preventing the absorption of some of the fat you eat.

Fat Acceptance isn’t just for fatties

I’ve noticed in some of my reading of late that some would say that to accept your body size and to accept your fatness is the same as saying you “give up”.  It’s talked about like it’s a bad thing…a bad thing to accept yourself.  I, myself, have been told that to accept my fat is just [...]

Losing weight once the “issues” are dealt with

The Irony of Not Liking Food

 I cannot say that I’ve ever particularly liked eating.  The “healthiest” reason I’ve ever had for this dislike is that I don’t want to stop doing whatever interesting thing I’m doing to eat.  However, it’s deeper than that for me in many ways.  I was often force-fed as a child.  I would be told to [...]

Validation & Relief

I’m training my replacement for the job I resigned today.  OMG… it is so validating.  He is angry.  He is frustrated.  He doesn’t understand when the boss speaks her weird gibberish speak and he talks back to her IMs because he finds them extremely condescending.  I have worked with this person for nearly four years.  [...]

BBC Oozes Stupid Again… Yay!111!!!!

Today I find this. Snippets of the insanity: So if we want to remain slim, should we be shunning fat people? “Concern over the obesity epidemic seems to be throwing up a whole load of off-the-wall ideas but the message remains the same, that sensible eating and exercise are the major components to get your [...]
