Friends with benefits

2008-05-06T03:25:13Z

What do you think about a friends with benefits relationship? Do you think it's possible to have it work out for both sides? Is it something you're opposed to for moral reasons? Do you think that it's okay between two consenting adults? Under what circumstances would you be willing to be involved in an FB relationship?

Do Fat Women Buy Expensive Clothes? An Informal Survey

2008-04-04T04:09:25Z

Hello all! I have an idea for a clothing line for women size 14 - 26 using really beautiful, expensive fabrics, couture finishing techniques, and hand embellishments. Thinner women in urban centers have tons of private labels and boutiques with this stuff, and the expendable income to buy a $300 top - see any high end fashion magazine.

So my question is Do fat women want to spend money on clothes that are highly fashionable, sumptuous, unique and well made? Are fat women hired in positions where they make enough expendable income to merit these purchases, or are they routinely not hired in creative professional fields where this clothing would be appropriate? Is there a market interest?

Any feedback, public or private would be highly appreciated. Thanks! - Eden

p.s. - please do not take offense at the word "fat". I'd prefer not to be euphemistic, and I'm not targeting women who are a size 6 but with big breasts and hips. Plus, I'm a fat girl m'self.

It's so cool that there are groups like this! Plumper Power!!! LOL

Seeking your fat-tastic participation in the East Bay and/or Burningman

2006-06-24T05:28:06Z

My camp at Burningman is taking on a new project - providing costumes and fun outfits at the festival. To support this effort, we're having a costume swap in Oakland August 12, and are looking for donations of outfits/costumes. (Details are in the listings and event sections for this tribe, the event is called "Re-Fashion.")

I'm creating a separate posting on this tribe, because we would like to have as much stuff on hand as possible in larger sizes. We want to serve everyone, and not just have stuff for small people, which we know we'll get.

Even if you can't attend the swap (and we hope you can), we will gladly take any donations of costumes, fancy outfits, etc. that you can provide, until we leave for the festival.

Thanks for your time, and hopefully, your effort!

weight discrimination story in SF/Bay Area...

2006-06-21T08:12:13Z

Hey all:

I hope this is okay to post here, a story that outrages me...

http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/12.01.04/weight-0449.html

I'm in touch with Josh Schmidt, the guy whose outrageous experience of job discrimination is described here. If anyone has any comments, support, ideas, resources, I'd love to pass them along.

Fat and Active - a social club for active plus-sized people (and friends)

2006-06-21T07:55:00Z

Fat and Active - a social club for active plus-sized people (and friends) of all ages, genders and sexual orientations. ALL sizes and fitness levels welcomed!

Don't know about you, but I weigh 330lb and LOVE to be physically active - hiking, canoeing, short and long urban walks, ballroom dancing, club dancing, playing tennis, playing volleyball, going to the gym, you name it! Now that summer is officially here, I'm ready to go out and have some active fun - at a pace that won't kill me. LOL But that pace is usually boring to the very fit people in my life!!! So, I've been venturing out on my own...but you know? It’s always nicer if it's also a social event! That's where you come in! :-)

Care to join me? Drop me a line; tell me a bit about why you want to join the group!

PLEASE NOTE - This is NOT a weight-loss group. Our focus as a group is to connect with other fat people who have, or who desire to have, a more physically active social life. Some of us, individually, might be on a path of losing weight and may have chosen to eat in a particular way but we are NOT, as a group, a weight-loss or diet group. This is NOT an anti-dieting list either. Some of us might be staunch anti-dieters and fat-activists but this is NOT an anti-dieting list. Some of us could very well be both fat-positive and actively working on dropping weight and eating in a particular way and see no contradiction inherent in that way of thinking. Regardless of where you fall in the complex, muddled soup that is Fat Politics, you are welcomed here as long as you treat everyone with respect, kindness and openness.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: First order of business is a nature hike in the East Bay scheduled for June 11th at 9:00 Am. Other locations to include San Francisco, as well as South and North Bay.

Your ideas and suggestions for activities are welcomed!

I disagree with this article on SO many levels. It really pissed me off. Keep in mind the author has no fat-positive resources on her site other than this- which is a critique. I think it's interesting to discuss, but don't read if you don't feel like being extremely annoyed.

The Seasons And The Adventure

2005-08-13T06:19:42Z

IT is for real now summer is really here cause we are all busy as hell trying to stay cool........Or the fucking humidity killed us...But hey this summer is almost over and all of our grass will be back soon. Then my cacti will start crying because the days are cooler and shorter then the ones b4. And it will be time to sit out on the porch in the chilly evenings with sweaters on watching the bugs in the street lights getting fewer and fewer. Then our beautiful fall.....The leaves changing on the hill sides,like the entire foot hills of the Appalachia are on fire with orange and yellows and reds. like the native ancestors spirits coming out to make one more war cry before fading away in to the night..The animals will be making there stock piles for winter. The squirrels will be busy burying nuts and large seeds to tide them over on the warm days. The Beautiful buck with its glistening rack in the snow digging out some Little signs that a female has crossed his path. Then my father my 13 year old son and my self wrapping our selves in the many layers to stay warm and topping that all off with a blaze orange cap and vest,hoping to see that monster buck and wishing to out wit him this year.......Yes summer is almost gone but hey, Our lives are only beginning.. Remember its not just a life it is an adventure and living is the greatest adventure of all... Weather you carry a shot gun during hunting season or a camera all year long. Remember that you live but one life so treasure it and others as well. Be good to your self. Please treat your loved ones and your self to your own little adventure. Trust me it will pay off ten fold.............................Quad

"Study Finds Gov't has Overstated Dangers of Obesity"

2005-07-20T21:45:37Z

by Carla K. Johnson, Associated Press

Being overweight is nowhere near as big a killer as the government thought, ranking No. 7 instead of No. 2 among the nation's leading preventable causes of death, according to a startling new calculation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC estimated yesterday that weighing too much acconts for 25,814 deaths a year in the United States. As recently as January, the CDC came up with an estimate 14 times higher: 365,000 deaths.

The new analysis found that obesity -- being extremely overweight -- is indisputibly lethal. But like several recent smaller studies, it found that people who are modestly overweight actually have a lower risk of death than those of normal weight.

Biostatistician Mary Grace Kovar, a consultant for the University of Chicago's National Opinion REsearch Center in Washington, said "normal" may be set too low for today's population. Also, Americans classified as overweight are eating better, exercising more and managing their blood pressure better than they used to, she said.

The study -- an analysis of mortality rates and body-mass index -- was published in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association.

- AM New York Wednesday, April 20, 2005.

So... it's a start maybe? What I don't get.. is that according to this information people can maintain a healthy blood pressure and be "overweight", and yet they still think that it is "lethal"... Anyway, I know it's a touchy topic... but any thoughts? I was relieved to see some progress in the direction of fat acceptance, even if it is limited.

Hi all,

I have no shame. It's true. And I am here asking for some help.

I am in a contest on a website called Lady B Wear. Basically they sell lingerie and such for sizes 2 to 32 or so. And it is good stuff...not cheap..but pretty well made.

Anyways, if I win, I get some free stuff. And then I'll go on to some bigger final at the end of the year to win more stuff!! Whee!!

So, they picked my pic for this month but A) didn't tell me I was picked! and B) stuck me in the wrong category (I should probably be in BBWs)

I'm asking for your vote!! Please, go to: www.ladybwear.com/comp/hotc...s/profile.asp and place a vote for me!

I promise, if I win, I'll model whatever I get and put it in the Photo Album. Lucky lucky you ;)

Thanks all in advance. (Sorry if you see this in multiple tribes!)
MWAH!

On fearing fat....

2005-04-05T06:38:54Z

I was re-reading FAT?SO! by Marilyn Wann earlier today and I just want to share something I forgot a long time ago. "Use the F-word." I did and, boy, do I feel free.

I used to fear being called out by some mean person. "hey, you're fat." But since I started using it liberally again, it's no longer ammo for any meany to make me feel akward. I'm comfortable. And if anyone is made akward by my being so non-chalant, that's too bad.

OK, just sharing.

Looking for a Size Accepting Dr. @ Kaiser!

2005-03-18T22:51:54Z

Hey there-

I am a Kaiser member and am looking for a size-positive (or at least not completely negative) doctor in the Kaiser system.

I just got insurance for the first time in awhile and am really intimidated by the medical system. I have a few health issues to deal w/ that I can't continue to ignore, but (like so many other fat folks) I have had such shitty experiences with most medicine that I don't really want to go in.

Ideally s/he would be in Oakland, queer (or queer positive), have a harm reduction approach, and have some experience with women's health issues including PCOS. Honestly though I would be happy to have anyone who doesn't assume all my health issues are about my weight and who doesn't talk down to me (and I am willing to go to both Kaiser SF and Kaiser Richmond for care). Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Insomnia...ugh!

2005-03-03T21:59:42Z

I know I should be writing this in my blog or something but I am tired of that feeling of talking to myself.

I'm not new to insomnia, but it doesn't get any easier. That trapped, icky feeling of being stuck between the edge of a cliff and an encroaching tiger...or whatever it is that corners you to the edge of a cliff. Running away from personal crap has a tendency to bring these emotions out of anyone but facing them head on isn't an option right now.

I don't know what the heck I need. A haircut, a hug, some dick? I dunno. I guess this public online meltdown is just gonna have to do. Thanks for indulging me.

2005-03-01T19:11:42Z

So just thought I would share an experience with you guys..
The other day me, my girlfriend and a couple of friends went to the mall armed with some home made fat positive address labels. It was great, we stuck them to various diet products, and books. And also to a low-carb pizza sign... It felt really good. I'm not sure how many people will notice them.... But if the thought just happens to enter on person's head that it *could* be okay to be fat then it was definitely worth it. If anything it made US feel good.

More stickers will be hitting the subways. *grin*

All Beautiful

2005-03-01T08:38:10Z

Greetings! Thought Id jump in here just to let y’all know that Im glad to know this tribe is here - nice to know there are women out there who do not subscribe to the waifish Hollywood stereotype of beauty. I happen to find heaviness generally more attractive than thinness, but it is just one slice of the pie of what makes attraction. Im not here to oggle or hook up, Im happily married to a beautiful woman who happens to be overweight.

One particular issue Id like to point out (or reiterate, depending on what’s already been discussed) is that weight and health do not always go hand in hand. My wife has a very healthy diet and has committed to a daily discipline of excercise. She has lost over 100 lbs in the process. I find her more attractive than when I met her, not because she takes up less space, but becasue she feels better about herself.

Really, between the aspiring model who is continually inspecting herself in the mirror, and the overweight girl who appears comfortable & confident, Ill be drawn to the latter every time. Before I got married Id dated women of all types, but must admit that I find snuggling less enjoyable if it’s with a skeleton.

So thats it, best wishes to you all. O hell, I cant resist a quick oggle:

May I say, Meow! And I do mean MeeeeeOWWW!!
Goddesses you are.

Borgata Casino "fat waitress" discrimination

2005-02-19T16:14:13Z

Borgata: Lose weight or lose your job

Atlantic City hotel and casino says it will fire any cocktail waitress if she gains too much weight.
February 18, 2005: 4:27 PM EST

Atlantic City hotel and casino has a new policy: Fat waitresses are sent packing. CNN's Jack Cafferty reports.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - An Atlantic City casino said its cocktail waitress could lose their jobs if they gain too much weight.

The Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa warned its female servers, also known as "Borgata Babes," that they could be suspended from their job if they fail to maintain their sexy figures.

The company told CNN/Money on Friday that the new policy applies to anyone -- including male bartenders -- who gains more than 7 percent of their body weight. But if the weight gain is caused by pregnancy or a medical condition, the company said, the server would be exempt.

"We find this policy to be legal and fair, because the job is defined as a 'performing art' profession at Bogata," Borgata spokesman Michael Facenda told CNN/Money. "Our guests have to come to expect a certain level of service and appearance, and it's our intention to maintain (that image)."

The policy infuriated women's rights advocates, the cocktail servers' union and others, who call the move discriminatory. The cocktail waitress union is also filing a complaint against the new policy. But so far no legal actions have been taken.

Borgata is a joint venture of MGM Mirage (Research) and Boyd Gaming Corp. (Research)

~Pissed~

2004-10-10T18:39:41Z

So guess what show they are coming out with on NBC next week?

It's called "The Biggest Loser" and it is all about fat people dieting and exercising and trying to lose weight.

WTF? You know, I keep thinking that television can't get any lower than it is, but TADDAA, here they go getting lower.

The whole jist of the show is that a bunch of overweight people are trying to get skinnier. And "challenges" are put in front of them, like rows and rows of donuts.

I've only seen one commercial for this program and I am so pissed off about it. It's putting fat people on parade like animals. And what about all of us fatties who don't CARE about losing weight?

AND WHAT ABOUT ALL THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD TO FOCUS ON OTHER THAN GETTING SKINNY?!?!?!

clothes to share

2004-07-06T18:33:58Z

after checking out the various posts about clothing
i realized that many of you have similar taste as me (i?)
anyone live in northern california, closer to the bay area
who might like doing some sort of closet share
i mean, i don't really want to give my precious duds away
but, i wouldn't mind lending them out
i think i'm around size 26/28
i've been making clothes lately
i have bloomers, petticoats, pettipants, unusual skirts
um, i guess most everything i own is a little on the silly, wierd side
anyone out ther interested?

the MOST fat-tastic thing about yourself??

2004-04-21T00:15:55Z

oh, i KNOW--it's hard to narrow it down, eh? tsk....ok, so give us a couple......seriously, even IF we have to "trick" ourselves some days into believing how fabulously fat-tastic we fatties our in the face of the fucked up society we live in (sorry, i'm a 'lil stoned and writing a last minute paper due tomorrow)......

like, goddamnit, there are just some times that i HAVE to sit in a booth at the local diner, ya know? It's visceral or something. So i squeeeeeeeeze my tummy and fat ass in there for the purrrrrrrfect diner experience.....and then laugh and swear as i try to get my ass back out at the end of the meal. Is it me, or are they making the damn tables closer to the benches??!! Granted, i am a gimp as well but still, they so do not make those booths fat friendly--fascists.

Ok, so some days i just think i'm fucking fabulous for having managed to get my ass outta the booth...heh, somebody's gotta.

Something about being fat-tastic is our undeniable sense of physical presence and taking up of space....as a fat woman with a disability it's very easy to feel invisible, nonetheless....but NOT on my fat-tastic days....heh.

Fit and Fat

2004-02-24T23:36:26Z

Even though I'm a mere size 11 now, I'll always be a fat girl at heart (and the older I get, the more likely I'll be a fat girl in body too!) My main concern for staying at a voluptuous and natural (yet healthy) weight are the corresponding diseases associated with obesity, to which my fat parents have fallen victim (don't worry, they're ok) (there's also corresponding diseases with being underweight, but I digress). My question is, is it possible to be fit and fat?

Maintaining Fat-Tastic Space

2004-02-19T23:45:36Z

I liked what I had to say so much that I thought I'd start it as its own thread, not tack it on to the end of a thread I didn't really want anyone to read....

I wrote:

yay for all of us for taking care of ourselves - and how I need to take care of myself today is to ask if we can keep ONE (just one, and its a small one at that)tribe free from weight-loss talk.

Sure, there's all kindsa reasons to lose OR gain weight.

Sure, getting less fat doesn't mean you're still not a fatass.

Sure, body image and sex are big issues.

Sure, changing body size and swishy skin are challenges that many fatties face when they change body size (btw, try some honest conversation about the different shapes and textures of your body and what you need from a sex partner in terms of respect, awe, and vigor - works regardless of yer fat/skin ratio)

Sure, you get to "take care of yourself" however the hell you need to - including buying into medical paranoias about the effect of your body weight and size.

Sure, I respect your rights to be whatever damn size you wanna be.

Sure.

But could we PLEASE keep this little, teeny fat tribe a fat positive space?

That means NOT talking about weightloss - of any kind - regardless of your politics and self-identifying as a fatass or a healthier less-fat person.

Start a 'fatasses who lost some and wanna chat about THAT tribe.'

Respect this teeny fat space by only posting messages about finding fat empowerment, fat liberation, fat deviance, and fat revolucion!

well, I guess I might have an opinion on that.

hehe

So...How do you think we can maintain fat-tastic tribe space?

Bay Area (CA) Ladies! Clothing Swap?!

2004-01-11T09:31:25Z

Well, my recent swathe through my tiny closet left me with some great clothes that need a good home. So, I’d like to organize a clothing swap. I can’t really host, ‘cause I live in a tiny studio in Davis, but I’d gladly do the grunt work if someone would volunteer the space.
Let me know what y'all think.

More to Love
By Gilana

I am a fat girl. Yes, it’s true (and I do admit it). So what? Does that make me unworthwhile? Does that mean you can be a jerk to me? Extra skin does not equal thicker skin. And what makes you think that fat equals ugly? I think I’m damn pretty, and that’s my feeling while I have the yucky self-esteem you’ve given me. I am fat: I am not lazy or dumb or ugly or smelly or slobby or whatever you think fat people must be. I work hard, I’m smart, I’m pretty, I have good hygiene, and…well, ok, my room is a black hole, but other than that, I am not slobby. So what gives you the right to look at my big ass and über-fleshy belly and say that I’m less worthwhile because of them? Where did you get the idea that my more to love is rather more to torment? You don’t seem to mind my tits with all their extra flesh. More to love, baby. Realize it, accept it, and love it. Or at least I’m starting to. When you finally love it, maybe I’ll be able to get over the years of shit you’ve put me through. Love me so I can complete my love for me. Or at least accept me. That would be more than enough. Because I’m very close to loving my body. I just need one last push. More to love. Learn it so I can remember it. More to love.

2003-11-20T03:46:48Z

This I posted a little while ago in another tribe, some of you may have seen it. It is a curve-positive tribe that was, in that one post, seeming fat-negative. This was my feeling.

"See, I've been called fat because I AM fat. I am morbidly obese. And frankly I wish I was seeing things here that made me feel like there were people in this with me, but I'm not. I see people saying "I'm not morbidly obese, so why shouldn't guys like me?" Well, I'm sitting here saying, "I AM morbidly obese. Why shouldn't guys like me?" I'm morbidly obese, I am 5'2" and I weigh 265 pounds, probably more. I wear a size 24-26, depending on the maker and item. I am also quite beautiful. And intelligent. And funny. And loving. So I say fuck you to anyone who looks at my body and says, "I can't see your beautiful face or your wit or your love or your creativity or anything else, because you're a fatty and that's disgusting and therefore you are not worth my time, and you're probably not worth anyone else's either. I'll be going now." The days that I see that, and the days that I see local college kids pointing and laughing when I'm having lunch with my relatively thin father...those are the days that I want to cry, but I can't. Because I have used up the tears on the fact that I'm killing myself as well as the fact that nobody seems to be able to see past my body. I am killing myself and I haven't found a way to stop myself yet. I just want to be loved and cherished for who I am while I live, whether I die young because of what I'm doing to my body or live to be old because I am able to turn this around. I deserve love either way, and fuck you to whoever can't see it. I am morbidly obese. See it, understand it, then forget it and move on to the more important things about ME."
