When Cinderella needs an adjustable slipper: making shoes fit

di — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:30:31 PDT

In April I found the holy grail of spring shoes: a pair of Skechers that were incredibly cute, paired just fine with my summer dresses, and that were built to support the food perfectly. Unfortunately, they were just a little too tight in the right heel. I bought them anyway, assuming that once I broke [...]

Brylane’s new plus size living

di — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 09:30:50 PDT

I have mixed feelings about things besides clothing being directed at the plus sized, because it leads to all sorts of incorrect assumptions. For instance, sleep apnea: yes, there are plenty of obese people who have it. Correlation is NOT causation. The obese people who have it and lose weight still have sleep [...]

Sensa Update from Ruth

I have completed two months on Sensa and it feels a whole lot like nothing. According to my Wii fit, I’ve lost another couple of pounds. The problem with really slow systems is that you don’t get the consistent reinforcement of significant weight loss, so you begin to wonder if it works at [...]

Youtube Video: I’m fat and nobody likes me

I found this one up and running at the eternally fabulous Big Fat Deal blog. While some question the motivations of the boys singing, I found it pretty hilarious and it seems to come from a place of knowing what it’s like. Share on Facebook

SWAK Designs Stephanie top

SWAK designs has been incredibly generous with me in sending me clothing for review, and I have loved every piece they’ve sent me. Alas, there was a mishap with the above top – the arms are just too small for me! According to their size chart, the arms should fit up to 20 inches [...]

A happy announcement

di — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:40:43 PDT

See that smiling couple there? That’s me and my long-time guy, Mike. We’re getting married this December in a Las Vegas chapel wedding. There will NOT, I assure you, be Elvis, Spock, or a drivethrough. Mike was quite insistent. While weddings are not my favorite events in the world because I think love is the sort [...]

The annual Fat Chic slowdown

di — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:58:24 PDT

For some reason, every July, I end up skipping a few postings or sometimes most of the month. I’ve put my finger on why: I’m not shallow. I would daresay most people braving the waters of plus size blogging are not shallow, the major differences being in how they accept or reject the messages of the [...]
