I had a coworker at my last job who was routinely furious that, even though I was fat and she wasn’t, I still allowed myself to enjoy food while she subsisted in Lean Cuisine and fat-free yogurt. It made her SO angry, and she just couldn’t shut up about it—she’d hover around my cubicle at lunch time and make comments…

So I lost 80lbs, from 200lbs to 120, then regained some to settle at a body building comfort zone of 138.

God, people who post about how obesity is unhealthy when they see happy fat women are THE WORST. They aren’t posting out of concern for anyone’s health. At. All. Because they would NEVER post something like that near a picture of a fat man enjoying anything. They post because women are valued first and foremost by…

I’ve been obese most of my life and am only now, at almost 40, partnering with a therapist to find a way to make peace with my external self. Up until now, the only physical part of me I’ve ever liked in any way is my tattoos...and I suspect that’s in part because I get to choose them, turning the flesh that society…

I have worked so hard on accepting my very fat self and it's struggle — but more so, I think, battling the people around me. I love clothes and make-up and jewelry and I LOVE that I've finally given myself the freedom to revel in liking those things and thinking I can be pretty since I've been told my whole life I'd…

Let me tell you about what life is like as a fat sexworker. My job involves sharing photos of myself as a strong, sexy, sexual woman, in varying degrees of undress. It involves me setting a figure - a not inexpensive one, either - on what I feel access to my body is worth.

This, for a myriad of reasons, makes some men…

I think a lot of people do equate skinniness with happiness. They work and suffer and try and obsess so that they can get to a size or weight where they think ‘happiness’ lives. And some of them manage to do that. So they think they’ve ‘earned’ their happiness. They ‘earned’ that boyfriend (who would dump them in a…

I love this post!

As someone whose weight has gone up and down, and now up and up, I have a long standing tradition of not commenting on someone’s body, good or bad. If someone gains weight, or loses weight, or is pregnant(or looks pregnant), I don’t comment. I wait for them to mention it. You don’t know why someone has lost or gained…

Great argument. Very persuasive and original.

At least we have the opportunity to develop senses of humor.

This happens to me every time I get fries at McDonald’s while drunk at like 3 a.m. Fries everywhere for weeks!

He looks like a cartoon made human.

Speaking of making things about me... It has taken me until just now to think maybe his Twitter handle is “A plus K”, not “aplusk”, as in a made up word that rhymes with musk. Feeling very silly.

I’m willing to bet that the story that Charlie Sheen told Mario Lopez was neither “hilarious” nor “classic.”

Your cuticles help prevent infection. They protect the nail from bacteria and whatnot.

I swear by Revlon’s Colorstay Gel Envy top coat. I usually have chipped nails within a day if I paint my nails at home. This top coat (even paired with just my regular nail polish) will last a whole 3 or 4 days.

Now does anyone have any suggestions on top coats that will feed my obsession with ridiculous glitter nail…
