Founder Stacy Bias emailed us yesterday to alert us to the launch of her new website, The Fat Experience Project, which The Rotund has already rhapsodically reviewed. From Stacy’s email:
The goal of the Fat Experience Project is to map the global experience of fat in a way that is human, has a face, a [...]

Hey, I’m on Adipositivity today!
Safe for work, sorta — I am wearing a one-piece bathing suit (the one I talked about here), and there are NO NIPPLES. But there are some nipples and other naked flesh in the sidebar. Adipositivity’s been rather nipplicious lately.

Two of my more exceptionally brilliant Internets Friends have recently published must-read posts on Fatshionista.com, and even though they’ve showed up in the feed, I simply couldn’t risk the possibility that anyone hadn’t read them yet.
First, Stitchtowhere (who you’ll remember from this post) offers an excellent exploration of internalized shame and also tiny ponies:

Sorry about the relative sparseness of the long swear-word-filled rants you’ve come to expect of us! There’s good stuff in the works. Meanwhile, do not miss Lindsay’s chart and accompanying analysis of some of the communication breakdowns between FA and anti-FA types. It’s simple and really illuminating. Damn, I love it when [...]

The 14-year-old whose question garnered such lovely responses on Big Fat Deal has written back to Mo, and her letter will make you immensely proud and happy for her. I feel very privileged to be part of a movement that can inspire a response like this. And shame on anyone who would even [...]

Mo at Big Fat Deal got a poignant question from a 14-year-old reader, one that stirred up emotions for a lot of people who recognized either themselves or someone close to them. The letter-writer asked:
Is this just a “fourteen year old phase”?
What’ll it take for me to love my reflection?
‘Cause everytime I say to [...]

Unless you were living under a rock or had something better to do than read fat blogs yesterday, you already know about the absurd piece of stunt legislation being proposed in Mississippi, which would require (not allow; require) restaurants to deny service to fat people. (Here’s JoGeek, The Rotund, Big Fat Blog, Lindsay, Rachel, [...]

Joy’s got another video! And this time, I’ve got a writer credit!
A while back, I posted a conversation I once had with my friend Jo. Joy loved it and decided to turn it into an itty bitty video — et voila!
The funny thing for me is, when Jo and I had that conversation, we were [...]

Here’s some news that I know will come as a terrible shock to longtime readers: no one knows how to make fat people permanently thin. Or even less fat.
Dieting doesn’t work in the long term and often makes you fatter. WLS can kill you, in addition to other unpleasant side effects, and as with diets, [...]
