I am always amazed watching normal/thin people say ‘No’ to food. You know what I mean. ‘Would like a slice of pie?’, ‘No, thank you.’ Huh? If someone ever offered me a piece of pie, I would most graciously say ‘yes’. Could I even turn down a slice of pie, ever? Even at Thanksgiving, when [...]
Underwear? You ask. It’s true. This is one of those little odd reasons I hate being fat… underwear. As a fat woman I find myself faced with the dilemma of which underwear style to choose. I’m still quite heavy and have this oh-so-attractive stomach roll that I can’t figure out what to do with. Here’s [...]
I know, I know, I haven’t posted in ages! My bad. Mea culpa, mea culpa. I’ve been going through a tough time lately, just having a hard time sticking to being healthy. Sure I’m trying, but only half-assed, you know what I mean. So I’ve been having myself a little pity party lately, falling into [...]
I’ve been thinking about this, and I wonder what your opinion on this is. At what point will I earn the right to stop calling myself fat? Is it when others stop calling me fat? Is there a weight limit? A BMI limit? Is it some abstract state of mind, only definable by me? Is [...]

This is going to be a difficult post to read. It’s a difficult post to write. But it’s something that needs to be said. We all got fat for a reason. It didn’t just happen. Sure, there is a small percentage of people that gain weight due to medical reasons, but I’m betting you and [...]
I hate than when I’m fat, I find I’m so sensitive to what people around me are saying. I always assume some hidden meaning in every little sentence. Like it’s not bad enough I think people are looking at me because I’m fat, now I think they’re somehow giving me some message in secret code [...]
Why is it that when I’m fat, I feel like a total outsider in life? I feel like I’m always sitting out on the sidelines, waiting for something to happen. I’m like this lurker through life, just sitting back and observing. I’ve said before that fat people are invisible to the world, but really, fat [...]
We are surrounded by numbers in our everyday lives. We always talk about numbers: days, weeks, months, years, hours, minutes, seconds, phone numbers, clothes size, number of calories, 8 glasses of water a day, 5 fruits and veggies, percentages at the polls, electoral college votes, the national debt! 99 bottles of beer on the wall?

One thing I really hate about being fat is that I simply take up too much space. While everyone around me seems to fit into a nice little package, I’m sitting there like a giant blob. Every time I’ve gone to a concert or some kind of stadium event I feel totally cramped into my [...]
