When I was in Prague years ago, I was at a wine bar with some friends and someone asked if anyone had gum. I pulled out my pack and offered it, but there was only one piece left. It was promptly refused because, as one of the guys at the table told me, "Even a prostitute wouldn't take the last piece." Um ... <i>what</i>?

I love this blog and thank you for letting people share what they are reading. I've gotten a lot of good ideas so far. And I would like to add one more. My blog of course! I am an overweight Canadian woman living in Japan teaching English. I was shocked at how negatively I was treated here because of my size. My blog discusses the Japan culture and how it relates to weight issues and also documents my weight loss journey. I hope you check it out and enjoy. Keep up the great work!

I just checked, it IS Jennifer Weiner. I'm curious, though. Is she the girl who had an eating disorder and goes around the country speaking about it at colleges and universities? For some reason her name sounds right in that context, but I'm probably confusing her with someone else. I also picked up a Weight Watchers cookbook, which you can read about on my blog: http://www.xanga.com/Rhonwyyn I only recently started reading FA blogs and only shortly before that had I finally come to terms with talking about my size on the Internet, so while the blog's been around for a while, the FA content hasn't.

I have a couple of her books in my Amazon cart. She kind of makes me sick; she's as old as I am and the published author of not just one, but multiple books.

My fiance is a writer, and his website is: http://jeremycshipp.com/ It's pretty awesome. His writing is pretty bizarro, if you're familiar with the recent literary movement.

SSP’ing.

Acronym for “Shamelessly Self Promoting”.
