Dearest Aunt Fattie,
I need fat friends. As soon as possible, please.
Over the past year I&#8217;ve really started to accept my body and practice HAES. I stopped dieting and started living life to the fullest. I&#8217;ve become more outgoing, I dress better and am much more confident.
The only problem? I have very few friends and the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1606&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dear Aunt Fattie,
Over the past couple of months, I have embraced HAES, starting working on my negative body image, bought some pretty clothes in my correct size(s) (including new bras that actually fit), and got a great (shorter) haircut.  Moderate exercise energizes me and makes me give off a rosy endorphin glow.  In [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1545&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dear Aunt Fattie,

 Last summer one of my best friends (we&#8217;ll call her K) spent the day at the beach with another group of girls we hang out with.  I was unable to go, but would normally have been there.  That day they had a great time hanging out, drinking Bloody Marys.

Hi Aunt Fattie &#8211;
So I&#8217;m a late-twenty-something lady who is dating another twenty-something lady.  I am a curvy sort of lady who spent years upon years hating myself and censoring myself and focusing on other people&#8217;s (perceived) dislike of my body, etc., went through much disordered eating, and am just finally starting to come [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1512&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dear Aunt Fattie,
I am starting law school in August. I am excited about school and my career plans. I did notice a problem when I was touring the school, however. All of the classroom seats are at long tables with chairs attached to the table supports. The chairs have no legs of their own, they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1492&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dearest Aunt Fattie,
I was recently excited to stumble across an online dating site which includes a body shape descriptor &#8211; I prefer larger guys and want both my own size and my preference in men to be stated up front.  Not long after signing up, I found a cute, sweet-seeming fat dude who shared [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1459&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dear Aunt Fattie;
I have a fat activism conundrum.  I am (was?) a thin fat-acceptance ally, and a survivor of anorexia.  Three weeks ago I gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl.  I am euphoric over my baby, and determined to help her grow up to love her body.
Here is the thing, though [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1444&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dear Aunt Fattie,
My father is dying.  The end is very close &#8211; he&#8217;s in his final hours.  In the past, I&#8217;ve always been unable to eat in times of extreme stress.  My stomach would knot up and the mere thought of food would nauseate me.

Dear Aunt Fattie,

I&#8217;m in a quandary. I&#8217;m a thirty-something woman, intelligent, fun, fat-accepting, and I have lots of good friends. However, I&#8217;ve never been on a date (I&#8217;ve only been asked a couple of times in my life, by weird strangers, and that was when I weighed less, as a result of illness). I&#8217;m pretty [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1407&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
