After writing my last post...I discovered this video on another fabulous fatblog, I'm Not a Dumb Bell. The perceptions demonstrated in the below video is EXACTLY the negative perceptions I was talking about in my Religion of Perfection Post....Watching this video actually makes me uptight and angry as a FAT Woman. Its attitudes like Meme Roth's that are shaping our discrimination. I am NOT

Tonight sitting here, in front of a roaring fire- always a sure environment for pensive reflection, I have been taking an honest look at WHY i want to loose weight. The honest truth is that in every respect I have been made to feel like I am not good enough...As a FAT woman, I fall below the mark... My X Husband used to refer to me as a 'big fat cow sitting on the couch eating chocolate' to all

This one hit a cord with me today so I wanted to share...I am guilty of this....soooooo guilty...cause my life is going to be perfect when I lose weight RIGHT?....Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same

Well guys, today was my dad's birthday...and as usual, I over did it...especially since it was a special occasion. It was his 62nd birthday so it was only natural that me and the kids go there for a special birthday dinner...The problem was, I found myself being totally SEDUCED by the yummy delights that rudely accosted my gaze. I don't know what it is about me but when I see food I tend to eat

Ok...the bottom line is that I have put ON 4.5 lbs...OMG! I am supposed to be going DOWN not UP!!!! Time to get serious again! I am not going to change my ticker above

Today I am mortified! I have been thinking back over the last couple of months and, to my dismay, I realised, I have been living on 'Procrastination Corner' with regards to my diet and weight loss! It is no surprise that I have actually put ON weight. Cause in truth, I have been a very VERY bad girl, and deserve a good spanking...and not the good type of spanking either! I guess your

Just a quick note...for those who may have certain pages on speed dial...hehehe (bookmarked), I have done a minor restructuring this evening, so anything that used to be filed under More Fun has been moved and distributed throughout the FindingFlabuless Site. HeHe! Now you'll have to go around and have a good look to find your favorite pages again. HeHe! Sorry :)

Hi guys,I have been a bit quiet over the past few days, I know and thats just because I have been working feverishly on another small project I have undertaken. Introducing FlabTV! Basically it is a video blogging channel for 'Losers'...hehehe! Well, to be more specific, its for people, a-la moi, who are losing weight...hehe! My vision for it is to build it up into a sort of hub/portal where

Confused by this card? Visit: DRESSADAY.COMThis spunky blogger hits the nail right on the head in her latest post. It's the beginning of a revolution...so make sure you jump on the bandwagon. We'll have those big department stores catering for plus-sizes in no time at all...hehehe...probably by the time we have all lost the weight and no longer need plus-size clothes...lol!

Now...I don't mean 'looked at yourself'...either! We have all done that... looked at our fat ugly rolls and love handles, in horror and disgust. At that moment, we hate our body...true? No...what I am talking about is looking at the mirror and actually SEEING yourself for the beautiful person that you are..flab and all.You know...for the first time today I was actually able to 'SEE' myself...
