For the life of me, I cannot find a contact link for mo pie or a place that would be appropriate for me to post this, so I guess here will just have to do.

I strongly felt the need to bring this to your attention before January was over:

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION:

‘Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

The cookies I’d nibbled, the eggnog I’d taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).

I’d remember the marvellous meals I’d prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,

The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I’d never said, ‘No thank you, please.’

As I dressed myself in my husband’s old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt -

I said to myself, as I only can
‘You can’t spend a winter disguised as a man!’

So – away with the last of the sour cream dip, Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
‘Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won’t have a cookie – not even a lick.
I’ll want only to chew on a long celery stick.

I won’t have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie, I’ll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I’m hungry, I’m lonesome, and life is a bore
But isn’t that what January is for?

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Ladies, I just wanted to let you know that BFD has become part of my “reality check” system. For over a quarter of my lifetime I have been struggling with weight issues and ultimately an eating disorder. I’m still battling those issues, but I’m starting to take responsibility for making myself feel good about MY body. Your blog is a daily dose of reality about weight and body issues that helps remind me that I’m ok the way I am. The fact that you’re witty and creative is just a bonus. Thanks!

Hello! ^_^

I found “Big Fat Deal” because I must write an essay on Hate Groups for my Victimology class.

Since I am a straight white Christian female, it’s kind of hard to be hated for the “usual” reasons.

FAT HATERS, however…. *shudder*

Yes, I’m overweight – but I DO NOT deserve to be persecuted because of it! Nobody deserves to be persecuted for any reason.

I hope to be able to somehow work this blog into my paper as it is a well-written, wonderful source of information!

Personally: Yes, I’m attempting to lose weight, but I’m doing so for health reasons. I need to lose weight or my heart is going to fail. So, I’m struggling to keep my portions in check, eat healthier foods, and get off my duff once in a while. ^_~

Thank you for being such eloquent, knowledgeable speakers on the subject of being beautiful!

Hi :D
i just wanted to say that i love this website it really does keep me sane!

I sing opera and i have heard time and time again, nice voice but to heavy for the part.

I am 5’9 and about 150 pounds, and i am definantly considered way overweight in the opera world.

But honestly i love my body, and I wish people could see past the fact that im a curvy girl!

I love Big Fat Deal, its always so witty and edgy and so REAL! what a concept!

Kepp doing what your doing

Hi! So, I just went to wordpress and saw on the mainpage a blog about forever 21 now carrying plus size clothing, and I ended up checking out some friends of that person’s and their friends and thus, ended up here.

I’ve just started reading and it’s pretty great so far!

I started my own blog a few months ago, and have been tracking my own weight loss goals and achievements, as well as my failures. It never hurts to network :)

I’m the manager of my 13 year old son’s rock band, we started playing together in fourth grade as a response to bullying. We rock! Unfortunately, the bullying hasn’t stopped in Middle School and a lot of it is about the kid’s in our band’s weight. Our son included. I need help, I know he’s beautiful and strong, but I’m diabetic and I don’t want to see him with this chronic disease. We exercise and eat sensibly and I try to encourage him to love his body and take good care of it. Still my own body image and faults are what has got us where we are, and I’m discouraged. Calgon take me away!

I found this site by googleing “i’ve never been kissed”. I read “im 21 and never been kissed” and you guys seem very supportive, so i hope you can help me. Here is my story. Im 20, fat, and ugly. I have always been overweight and have had to deal with that. However, i never thought i was ugly until now. I have big friends and even my sister is fat. They all have or have had romantic experiences, so i have come the conclusion that i am ugly. I have never been kissed, had a boyfriend, or even been on a date. Guys dont even take a second look at me. I find my self crying almost every night. Everyone that i know has a boyfriend or has had one, so i cant talk to anybody about this. Its so emberrasing, and i hate when my friends and family ask me if i have or have had a boyfriend. I feel so bad because i always lie to them. I tell them that i have had a boyfriend. I mean what else am i suppose to tell them. Im i suppose to spill out my guts and tell them that i have never even been kissed. I feel so alone and sad sometimes. My biggest fear is that im never going to find someone, and im just gonna be alone forever. its ok if no one responds to me i just wanted to get this out of my system.

Bretoria,

Everyone has a different pace and things happen differently for each person. So if you haven’t had a boyfriend or been kissed at 20, that just means it is taking a little longer for you than for other people, but that doesn’t mean you have anything to worry about. Be confident about yourself, hold your head up high, be a friendly and smiley person and the experiences will come.

Hello, I am Joan. I am a 32 year old nursing student with 2 kids. I am 5’6″ and weigh about 335 pounds. I have been obese my whole life, but only ‘super morbidly obese’ for about 10 years. I have struggled with bulimia and compulsive overeating for many years. I have my own blog http://diaryofaredhead.blogspot.com which is as it states, my diary (and you guessed it, I have red hair!).

I found this sight kind of by accident. I was on a website for eating disorders and got into a posting argument, because someone said that they didn’t want to go to the therapist that was assigned to them because the therapist is obese – how could she possibly help. I wrote that I thought that it would piss me off if someone wouldn’t take me seriously because of my weight (given that I am going to be a nurse) and that I can do my job just as well as anybody else can. I also said that you can be obese and be healthy – well, the website moderators shut down the post at that point and said that heroine addicts and people who eat rocks might think they are healthy but they aren’t.

Someone on there agreed with me and emailed me the Feed Me! blog sight, and that got me to Harding’s website, and now here!

My therapist (who happens to be obese) is very happy about my newfound awareness that I don’t have to hate my body the way that it currently is. I have to remind myself of that everday, sometimes hourly (especially when I am sitting in an uncomfortable chair or getting in my car, or tying my shoelaces!)

I love chocolate pudding, and I love hearing children laugh

Glad I found you! You remind me of several smart & awesome friends who are fat activists/performers/educators, so I feel at home.
I now have a craving for Banana Pudding, though I haven’t eaten it in years.

Hi there,
I found this website through the blog Shapely Prose.

I appreciate how your blog deals with body image issues specifically in the media. I think that pop culture is really the lens through which we judge so much of our society and ourselves, so to really break it down and analyze it gives us more power than we ever thought we had.

I also really appreciate how you focus on how both men and women are affected by weight issues.

Many of the posts here challenge my assumptions about body image, discrimination, and “fatism.” Thanks for that.

Cassi, on June 10th, 2009 at 7:45 am Said:

I’m really enjoying this site and can’t thank you enough for the work you put into it. I came to FA in a backdoor sort of way… I’ve been heavy all my life, but lucky enough to be fairly shielded from pop culture, so I never had a big problem with it. I did what I wanted and if someone thought I couldn’t or shouldn’t because I was too fat, I looked at them like they had 6 heads. (Seriously, if I was “too fat” to ride a bike century (100 miles) don’t you think I would have noticed back around mile 70 or so? Do you really think this is a conversation to have at mile 80?? If you don’t like looking at my lycra covered ass, then pass me… go ahead, I dare ya!) So, I went along and everything was great. I have friends, a great husband, a great job. It all worked really well for a long time.

Then, like Kathleen in the previous comment (unless someone else sneaks in between), I lost weight. In my case it was due to illness and meds, so will likely be temporary. (As opposed to diet and exercise which I’m suuuuuure would last fo’evah! ;) And the sudden change in the behavior of those around me has completely blown my mind! I would never have believed that I was suffering any sort of ‘discrimination’ due to being heavy. And if you’d tried to tell me I was I would have told you you were nuts (even now I’m loathe to use the word, because my experience hardly rates on the ‘discrimination scale’). But why now does there seem to be an epidemic of smiling going on? Store clerks smile at me. People on the street smile at me (I don’t live in the south, so it’s not ‘normal’ behavior). Hell, the officer that gave me a ticket the other day smiled at me! (didn’t get me out of the ticket, clearly I’m not that skinny yet ;). I tell you, it’s freakin’ me out.

This whole thing has really opened my eyes and the discussions here are a big part of my new education.

Now I’m off to go smile at some fat people. Maybe even offer them some pudding.

Love this site! The whole weight loss/diet/obesity epidemic is out of control. I do have to say that it did get me thinking, and as a result I have returned to college to finish my education as an anthropologist, and it also gave me my discipline focus, Food Culture. So much of our time and energy revolves around food. I find it facinating. And again, love this site, and love the peeps who make it happen!

Blimp, on July 14th, 2009 at 8:08 pm Said:

I’m a skinny, aging male nerd (40s). I have been a skinny nerd for most of my life. During childhood, I was drugged, and I was eating a fourth meal of junk food at a group therapy session. I became fatter until my family accused me of overeating, and I was ordered to forego one of my four meals. I complied, and began jogging (what else could I do?), and then the dose of the drug I was taking was reduced. Sometimes I skipped the lunch-time dose at school, which was placed in my lunch-pail. In six months I became skinny. Will-power had nothing to do with it, and still doesn’t, to this day.

Now I can eat what I want, when I want, within certain limits, mainly poverty. Staying skinny is effortless. When I exercise, it’s mainly for fear of becoming weak and vulnerable to physical injury. But as I age, I may start gaining weight, or my weight may remain constant while muscle and bone are replaced with fat, or I may waste away. I may get some dreadful disease, and be put on medications (assuming I get some financial assistance) that cause me to gain weight.

When I go to see a doctor (should I be so fortunate as to be allowed that), I fear that anti-fat prejudice and hysteria, and the maniac drive to cut costs for the sake of fascist austerity, may make him a quack! I know that being thin doesn’t mean I can’t have hardening of the arteries or heart disease. I want to be stress-tested! If my heart or arteries have a problem, I’d like to know that before I exercise! And if I should gain weight, and then get sick, I don’t want the doctor to say “you need to lose weight”, because that’s quackery! Body fat does not cause illness, and being fat is not an illness!

In short, I’m for fat liberation because I want to live to a ripe old age and I want the true causes and remedies for illness to be discovered.

I stumbled upon this page while looking through sites about eating disorders. I have been using SU for more than a year, stumbling eating-disorder sites and never once have I found one that dealt with compulsive eating (which I suffer from) and being fat. Part of recovery for that type of thing is accepting yourself the way you are, and to stop trying to “diet” yourself into “happiness”. So this is a big surprise to me. I found a place that people come to express self-love, instead of idolization, and inclusiveness, instead of exclusivity. I am in love with your site, which has reminded me what self esteem feels like. Just a few blog entries in, I’m in love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your flickr page.

Then suddenly I went to the Doc he told me I was negative and did a scan dam “it was BIG”

He immediatly prescribed medicine, but i never took it I wanted to loose another 5 pounds, did it in 6 days and BAM “it” was a gonna.

I think I’ve run across the best dating site for those women and men who have ‘a little more to offer’. Check out http://www.mypluslove.com. It’s the best dating connection for plus size people! We all want to be accepted just the way we are and that’s the beauty of looking for love in all the ‘right’ places. It comes highly recommended and has a great reputation for being a happy searching experience.

Found site by accident, just passing through.
Always heavy but parents made sure I did my share of working around the house while growing up. Played sports and stayed active so never was harassed in school. Twice lost very large amounts of weight through odd-ball diets but each time regained the weight. Finally decided never to diet again and accept whatever weight I ended up at. About 11 years ago was diagnosed as Type II diabetic but still didn’t take it very seriously. Never was a big eater, skipped breakfast and lunch and drank black coffee instead. My problem was sodas, candies, cookies and snacking cakes. Eventually lost my taste for sodas because they were finally “Too sweet” for me and got to where one candy or a few cookies a day were more than enough for me. I started eating a small breakfast which apparently fired up my metabolism and with all the changes, I’ve now lost 122 pounds in 11 years which is less than one pound a month when you think about it. Lucky for me it’s been a lifestyle change and I can now eat anything I want, any time I want and am still losing weight. (Of course what I want now is different than before. Always liked salads and eat more now) Been backing off my diabetic medicines and if I can lose a few more pounds I will no longer be diabetic.

My name is Jennifer, I’m 21 and from the UK.
I stumbled across your fatastic site by pure luck.
I had typed into Google, ‘ sequin dress plus size’ and a few pages through i gave up, then saw your blog, randomly, as the words ‘plus size’ have been used a lot.

I think your blog is indeed brilliant.
I wish, so hard, that i had the confidence to love myself, i blame all my misfortunes on my weight.
All failed relationships wouldn’t of happened if I’d been thin.

I wish that i could look in the mirror and not feel nauseas.
I wish that when i walked into a club people looked at me because of my fabulososity instead of my fatosity.
I wish that I could walk down the street without my iPod in and my head down.
I wish that if some one called me a nasty name it wouldn’t result in starvation and bouts of bulimia.
I wish i loved myself enough to realise i deserved better than him.
I wish that when i think of turning my life around my first (and only) hurdle wouldn’t be my weight.
I wish i could eat out without thinking every one was judging me for actually having the cheek to eat.
I wish i ordered the burger with cheese instead of the chicken salad.
I wish i could still go to dance class without the overwhelming fear my wobbly bits will indeed wobble.
I wish i could find a decent website for curvy girls……

Because contrary to popular belief, even though i am chunky i like to go out, i like to be center of attention, i like to look good, i like to shop, I like sex and the city and god dam it i like to dance.

Keep up the good work.

You made me smile

Hello everyone! I call myself Pixie! I am short, cute, and round. My main beef is that while I am somewhat okay with my weight, that it is so hard to find any cute clothes for someone my size that does not look like it was sewn from old circus tents by blind clowns in dark rooms. It’s like these people who run the clothing industry want us to feel bad about ourselves or something. On the up side, it makes me want to learn how to sew so I am not at the mercy of these discriminating designers. I consider myself to be an activist for all kinds of equality and awesomeness.

I love your site! After too many years of yo-yo dieting I finally came to understand about accepting yourself for who you are right now is the secret to a happy life! I will never be very thin, but am working towards reaching a healthy weight. As a CEO of a business classified in the fashion arena, I cannot tell you how many times I have been told that my body did not represent the “right” image by people who had even hired me to speak at their conventions? Duh…What does brain power have to do with fat cells?

Wanted to introduce myself and say we should all love each other and accept ourselves for who we are…

I had Weight Loss Surgery almost 6 yrs ago and from a personal viewpoint I wouldn’t do it again…Let’s just say I was healthier when I was fat…Now I’m just sick and skinny…Pathetic actually…LOL…

Thanks

Hello everyone! I found this site looking for information on obesity and pregnancy. I am obese and a new diagnosed diabetic. My husband and I are desperately wanting children, but in our 2 years of marriage I haven’t been able to conceive. I am a registered nurse and I am aware of what is said about pregnancy and obesity….not a good match! But that still doesn’t alter the fact that some woman are able to conceive and have healthy children without complications. We have no way of knowing how any pregnancy with go. If anyone has a story to share or can give me any hopeful information, cause there doesn’t seem to be any out there. My husband and I are currently changing our life style and incorporating a good diet with exercise, but sometimes I think I will never get there. Thanks for reading and please feel free to respond! Waiting for baby!
