Exactly. Fellow fat woman here, and I’m very bored of the idea of actors putting on fat suits (in which they always look extremely dumpy and frumpy for some reason.....) because there are still creators who see fat people telling their own stories as absurd and don’t believe that fat people actually groom themselves…

Unfortunately, you’re killing the planet with that pesto, too. If you’re in the US, the cashews and pistachios you buy are probably coming from California, and they are extremely thirsty nuts. They’re a major contributor to the water problem out there. We can’t have anything nice, basically. :(

I know many, many women who have eating disorders: some active (and in denial in some cases), some in recovery, and some long in the past.

I’m sure she had good intentions.

Aside from whether it’s good or not, you can make an over the top satirical statement about fat shaming without using the trope of “fat girl loses weight, is deemed hot and is now important enough to be heard.”

Echoing what others have said, but also this happens *only* if you want to open a tab. I’ve never been in establishment, even a bar, where opening a tab is mandatory if you want to order anything. You can pay as you drink if you don’t want to give up your card, though this can obviously be more of a hassle than just…

She won the Miss World pageant when she was 18, so not that far off from 15 I guess.

I’m 33 and the idea of going on a date with, let alone marrying, a 25 year old makes me want to barf. I can acknowledge that someone who reached his level of fame/success is probably more sophisticated than your average 25-year-old, but still. 

yeah yeah yeah

The thing is Meyers’ Parent Trap is deeply inferior to the original.

While I believe that a family law judge in the 1950s might suggest “Hey, just split the twins and never discuss this again,” I always found it hard to believe that a judge in the 80s/90s would ever suggest that. Or that the extended families and friends of the once-married couple would be OK with it and no one would…

She may have banned pasta, rice and potatoes, but she reportedly eats a slice of chocolate biscuit cake every day.

Don’t forget the rocket!

I wondered that, too, but I think they just translated it into the British courgette. I always get confused between aubergine and courgette and gherkin exactly what vegetable alternative name we’re talking about.

I love telling anti-grain evangelists I eat pasta or rice almost every day of my life and watching their brain circuitry explode. I’m having fresh pasta with a fabulous parsley and almond pesto I made last night, with some green breans, for dinner. 

Their Indian wedding ceremony is going to last longer then they have been dating.

If these two elope and deprive us the most grandeur opulent Big Fat Desi wedding I don’t even know... 

“You’re supposed to hold each object you own in your hands and then decide if it gives you a sense of joy or a sense of anxiety—if it’s the latter, out it goes with the garbage,” Fast Company put it.

So true. A few years ago I was dating this guy and I flat out said to him, because we were talking about relationships in general, that I’d rather be alone than in a miserable marriage. And he was stunned, just absolutely stunned. Because there isn’t really a script for that in our culture, where woman aren’t in…

Exactly. I know a ton of women who get overlooked by men. At most they get a guy who treats them poorly or just wants to sleep with them a few times a week while continuing to search for a hotter girlfriend.
