Who Causes More Global Warming–Big People or Big Corporations?

A few weeks ago my bloggy-friend over at WMTC wrote this post. In short, some asshat wrote a quote- scientific-unquote paper about how fat people “contribute” to global warming. Yeah, and I’ve been pretty “warm” about it ever since.
Doesn’t is just make more sense that it would be the industries, not the individuals who [...]

Long time, no post, eh? Sorry, I just haven’t had anything much to say that isn’t whiny and conflicted. No one needs to listen to read any more of that.
Yesterday was my nutrition seminar–in preparation for the gastric bypass. I’m a little confused–not by the actual eating plan which is fairly straightforward–but by the portions. [...]

Break-through my ass. I’ve been eating EVERYTHING for a few days now. I’m not sure what the hell is going on. Maybe it has something to do with my decision to have the WLS? Have I given myself permission to wig out and pig out? Damned if I know, but I have been like Pacman [...]

Cruising my blogroll yesterday I came across this post. It’s a rant I’ve actually ranted myself a few times–about the insulting and deplorable state of Plus Size “Fashion”–particularly here in Canada. The writer says she’s pissed. I’m pissed too. I’m 50, not in my 20’s like she is, but I don’t feel it and if [...]

As you might guess, I have have a subscription to O, The Oprah Magazine. O lives in my…uh…bathroom. I read a little here and a little there and I usually get through one month just in time for the next one to arrive in the mailbox.
I read, but I don’t always retain exactly what I’ve [...]

If you’ve been reading this blog, you know I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on the subject since I went to the Bariatric Center in Rochester for a consultation with Dr. O’Malley.
Check out my Blogroll over here on the left and take a look at all the blogs dedicated to weight-loss, weight-loss surgery, [...]

FatLady Revisits the Uterus….

Yeah, well, not exactly, but….well I did revisit the gynecologist. Three months has past since I started taking the progesterone to treat my endometrial hyperplasia. I am not sure what effect it may have had on my too-thick uterine lining but it’s time to go back for a repeat TVU.
If it has improved, then yipee. [...]

FatLady Has Some Catching Up To Do….

Yes, I do. I have some catching up to do, on sleep, on this blog, on housework, on a lot of things.
Three weeks of full-time work has kicked my butt. I haven’t had a job in three years–2 waiting for Canadian Immigration to process my application and one more because…well I don’t know exactly. That’s [...]

FatLady found some work! Temporary. Just another week or so. Getting up at 5:45, hustling this big butt to the bus stop, sitting in a chair for 8 hours. All that has been kicking my ass. I’m tired. I’m waaaay behind on my Google Reader reading and my Blogroll has been neglected as well.
Hopefully I’ll [...]

Being fat has colored every aspect of my life. My whole life. Even when I wasn’t fat, I THOUGHT I was fat and I acted as if I were. I dressed a certain way. I behaved a certain way. I’ve held myself back from doing things I wanted to do, from taking chances, from reaching. [...]
