I got good email about the cat photos, so today’s installment features Thai Lin. (I apologize for the geographically inaccurate and probably racist name. I think she came to us with that name, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility that my parents picked it. While I’m at it, I might […]
“I was diagnosed with a myriad of mental health problems in 2001 and among the numerous (12!) drugs that were ultimately prescribed for me over the first six months following my diagnosis, the one that worked the best has the side effect of significant weight gain. I gained 120 pounds in about a year. […]
I’ve been getting some amazing email. So many of us struggle with hateful attitudes toward us on a daily basis; we should disjoint our shoulders patting ourselves on the back that we go on thriving in spite of experiences like Judy’s:
It really is amazing how once you’re X pounds overweight, you’re no longer human. […]
Today I pulled out Making Peace with Food: Freeing Yourself from the Diet/Weight Obsession by Susan Kano, because a lot of the emails I’ve been getting from women reminded me of it. I haven’t read it in about 15 years and I had forgotten how gently radical it is:

Skip the Wikipedia definition, folks. A wonderful if fairly academic article on the subject is here. […]
A couple weeks back, I had my 15 minutes of fame, when several of my posts were included in Big Fat Carnival. It’s quite ironic, I’ve been writing on lesbian/feminist issues for over a year now and barely gotten any attention; I write one bitchy post about Southwest Airlines and suddenly I get over […]
Raise your hands, everyone who’s surprised the fat girl is writing a valentine to the health food co-op. But I adore this place. It’s not an exaggeration to say I picked my apartment based on reasonable proximity to it. It’s not an exaggeration to say its presence played a fairly large part […]
No, not this picture, it’s kinda pretty, isn’t it? YL took it. (She’s a wicked good photographer.) The wrongness lies in the fact that it is February, and I am leaving the warm and sunny Southwest (today’s high: 57 degrees) to go to Maine, which may be my natal homeland but nevertheless […]
