Reader Jules writes: Hi Kate, I ‘ve been reading your blog for a few weeks now, and it’s helped me tremendously. I was wondering, however, if I could get some advice from you or your readers about how to deal with fat hatred at work. I’ve been out of the workforce for awhile, but I … Continue reading »

Douchehound of the Day
I think it’s important to highlight this moving and persuasive comment by njnjnj: OK, how can you dismiss doctors who ask for lifestyle changes when you havent even attempted to make them? I don’t think its that you CANT lose weight, you just dont want to try. God, seriously I think you should right a … Continue reading »
Shakesville
Is operating at its hurricane party location again. It’s kind of flattering, the way people seem to think that taking the site down is worth so much time and energy.
Superfantastic Fattitude
Manolo for the Big Girl is up and running! And Francesca and Plumcake already seem so terrific, I can hardly be bitter that I’m not writing it. Go say hi to them!
You Won’t Go to Hell Because It Tastes Good
This morning, I was up and out early because I had to take the car into the shop, and I decided to get breakfast at a restaurant before beginning the long bus and train journey home. Breakfast was what I always eat on the rare occasion when I’m out of the house before everyone’s serving … Continue reading »
Well, Now That You Mention It, I Am in the Market for a Bridge!
For all my cynicism, I can be such a freakin’ Pollyanna sometimes, you have no idea.

I was scandalized. … Continue reading »
Caffeine
This morning I woke up and discovered we’re out of coffee. I decided to go about my day anyway and forgot about it. Then around noon, I had a huge headache, felt all sorts of foggy, and couldn’t stay awake. Took some Advil but couldn’t shake the fog or the sleepies. I posted at Ask … Continue reading »

A government study, which followed over 3,000 … Continue reading »
Very Important News
Lane Bryant’s new Right Fit jeans? Are awesome. (Top is, of course, Sweet Pea.) Colleen’s already done a review that touches on most of the important points about them, but I have a few additions. I cannot emphasize enough that Colleen is exactly right about trying them on before you buy. Going by the website, … Continue reading »
Like a Hole in the Head
Is how much I need another blog. And yet… Thorn and I have become so outraged by all the stories we’re hearing about fat people’s encounters with asshole health professionals, we’ve decided to start a blog devoted to collecting them all in one place. Sort of a Fatty Health Hollaback. We’re still working on adding … Continue reading »
