"One of my roommates (he of the “obese nurses” comment) tweeted today about not having any hot water in the shower this morning instead of telling me outright that he thought I was in the shower for too long. We live in a 100+ year old house with gas heat. Hot water sometimes runs out, especially when you’re the last person to shower. I was the second to last. Was I in there a bit longer than I should have been? Entirely possible - time tends to get away from me when I wake up with a migraine, since hot water is extremely helpful.
The other thing you shouldn’t do, unfortunately, is try to take a shower when the other shower is already in use. I know it sucks, but despite having two full bathrooms, we never have enough pressure or hot water for both to be in use at the same time. Most of my shower was lukewarm at best, and a second person trying to shower made it much worse.
He could have easily banged on my bathroom door and asked me when I’d be done. I don’t mind, and the passive aggressive shit is, well, childish. Especially for someone who is 31. I’m sorry the house isn’t newer, I’m sorry we run out of water, and I’m sorry you’re not adult enough to have a discussion about it. We’re all on different schedules for the most part, so when they do coincide, you might have to actually speak up.
*sigh* I know I should bring this up myself, but I don’t like confrontation."

From her blog:
"We have been socialized to believe that fat is always the problem. If you cannot get a boyfriend, the answer is to lose weight. If you want to be successful in life, lose weight. The answer is always 'lose weight.'"
What body type should people be attracted to? Society at large is always going to fetishize an ideal bodytype. Thus, a bunch of people who don't meet that ideal, no matter what it is, are going to miss out. If she wants society to fetishize the "average" bodytype, then doesn't it become unfair to the skinny chicks + the obese chicks that make up ~40% of the bell curve? There's no winning.

"I’m a woman with naturally large breasts (32G), and while I don’t feel pressure to actually cover them up, I do sometimes feel as though I’m oversexualized or not taken seriously in some academic settings because of my bra size. The shame isn’t about how I dress them, but about the fact that, as naturally large breasts, they have stretch marks and aren’t perky. They aren’t “perfect.”
I suspect that the harassment would be worse if I were thinner, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen."

"Christian Weight Loss Ministry, Health, and Fat
I’m writing a paper for my class on women and religion in contemporary America on the phenomenon of Christian weight loss ministries. If anyone has personal experience with this, positive or negative, I’d be very interested to hear from you. I’d also appreciate links to studies on how the medical community overstates the connection between weight and mortality, conflates correlation with causation, and blames fat when other underlying medical issues may have caused the onset of a disease.
Thanks!"

looks like someone asked XO's query...
"What do you mean by “there is no medically defensible way to permanently make people lose weight”?"
I mean that there is no consistently safe and effective way to make fat people thin.
Bariatric surgery has an unusually high rate of complications, and often causes medical problems including “dumping syndrome” (perpetual diarrhea), malnutrition, chronic GERD, hair loss, etc.
Weight loss pills are often ineffective and can cause heart problems. Newer pills like Alli have extremely unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects on many people, and do not, on their own, cause weight loss, which is why the directions say that they must be used in conjunction with a “sensible diet and exercise regimen.”
Many methods of weight loss actually make patients less healthy than they were originally, which, in my opinion, is not medically defensible.
Ask me anything

I've been so frustrated with my weightloss. I plateau for months, then lose for three weeks, then gain, then maintain. This week I lose 2 lbs and got down to 155, which is my lowest weight this year. I'm now three pounds away from no longer having to pay for Weight Watchers meetings. I'm obviously very happy about all of this, but there are things that make me happier. I'm thrilled that I can now use the second hole on my favorite belt when I've been using the first for months. I'm thrilled that one of my favorite skirts that had gotten too small fits me again....along with about half of the clothing that had gotten too small over the past year and a half or so. Those are so much more gratifying victories than seeing the number on the scale change.

Inexorably tying healthful eating and leading an active life to weight loss does a disservice to so many people. It further stigmatizes those who are already fat, but reinforcing the notion that they’re (only) fat because of their lifestyle. Also, when foods or activities are presented to children as a means of keeping them thin (as though that is the ultimate determinant of health), rather than as fun and just a part of every day life, it often makes children more resistant.

"So just because ONE person used to be fat and isn’t anymore, it’s okay to hate all fat people? Since when does one individual’s personal experience apply to all people everywhere? So, John Birmingham lost weight. Congrats to him on being a statistical outlier. His experience is his alone, and just because his weight was “his own fault,” does not mean that every fat person is fat for the same reason(s) he was. These tweets are dripping with projection and hatred of his formerly fat self. There was no reason to call the men odious. Being fat should not inherently be cause for hatred or disgust.
Frankly, plenty of thin people are smelly, too.

France has become the first country in the world to remove gender identity disorder, also known as transexualism, from its list of officially recognised mental illnesses. This is huge news…
Now just work on your Islamophobia, France.
Sadly, France has a recent history of both Islamophobia and Antisemitism. It’s a result of the post-revolution’s aggressive anti-religious sentiment. There is a fairly strong anti-Catholic sentiment as well, but it’s not quite the same, because Catholicism isn’t a minority in the same way as either Islam or Judaism.

LMAO @ self-deceptive idiocy here
Overall, though, fat-shaming is everywhere we turn. It happens in the erasure of fat bodies from the media. Women who are average weight are routinely photo-shopped to appear slimmer. Fat people earn less than skinny people, even though there is no substantial evidence that they are less competent. Doctors routinely ignore the medical complaints of fat people and assume that every illness or complaint is weight-related, even when the patient and medical evidence indicate otherwise.
We have been socialized to believe that fat is always the problem. If you cannot get a boyfriend, the answer is to lose weight. If you want to be successful in life, lose weight. The answer is always “lose weight.”

"I hate that I'm watching The Biggest Loser, but I am, and it really just makes me sad. Sunshine, who is 24 according to her profile, is talking about how she's never had a boyfriend. She, of course, blames it on her weight. Now, no, I'm not her size, but really, she's a beautiful girl, and I suspect that she's never had a boyfriend because 1. She's so self conscious about her size that she doesn't project confidence or happiness, and 2. She hasn't met the right person yet.
I've seen or read this before. Someone is however-old and has never been in a relationship. I find it especially upsetting when we're talking about kids in high school. I mean, seriously? The majority of my friends didn't have boy-or girl-friends in high school. Not everyone dates as a teenager, and that's okay! making it about weight or looks serves no purpose aside from tearing down the self confidence of people who are already vulnerable."

If you post bullshit in my blog, I will call you on it.
To whit, this, which showed up in my inbox today:
stfu you whiny greasy fat people. jeez boo hoo im such a victim. NO complaining makes you feel better cause no one cares except other fat people :) haha ur all pathetic and i hope yall get diabetes bitchez PEACE!!!
Bizarrely, it was in response to this post, which is not about health, victimization, or fat in general. It’s a reblog about gender dynamics. Dude, I didn’t even write it, though I agree with the sentiment.
Let’s go through this again:
1. Greasy? You don’t know me or what I look like.
2. Fat? See above. However, if I am, who gives a fuck? I’m still human - moreso than you seem to be.
3. Complaining makes me feel better? Actually, genuinely grappling with problems people (myself included) face helps me feel that I can make a difference.
4. Pathetic is taking the time to write poorly composed crap like this on random people’s blogs.
5. And if I get diabetes, so be it. I do have a family history, so I’m probably prone to it, but if it happens, it won’t be because of my weight. I take care of myself, exercise, and eat well. I do what I need to do.
Perhaps it’s not good karma to wish ill of others, but if anyone deserves diabetes, methinks that person is you. Douchebag.
Anyone else have some thoughs?

I think of this as a type of emotional abuse. It sounds as though the boyfriend has lost weight and is projecting his weight fears on his girlfriend. She should either get him into therapy or, if he won’t go, get the hell out.

I wear a 32G," says Miriam Lazewatsky about her fat, stretch-marked tits, "and have a hell of a time finding pretty bras. Apparently women who wear a 32 band aren’t supposed to be bigger than a C or D cup. Yeah, it’s frustrating.
In terms of stores, I’d suggest Intimacy (I’ve been to their brick and mortar store and love the fitters there), FigLeaves, and Bravissimo.
For brands, I really like Freya, Fayreform, Chantelle, and Mimi Hollidy. Chantelle has nice basics, including some pretty basics. Mimi Holliday has ridiculous fluffy, frilly bras up to at least a G cup; Freya and Fayreform generally carry larger sizes in gorgeously wearable styles. These brands generally make bands from 30 or 32 through 38 or 40.
One other thing. I’m a grad student, and don’t have a lot of money to spend on bras. I often go into Intimacy and try on a bunch of styles, and then go find them on Ebay or discounted somewhere else online."

"Madface" by fatass Miriam Lazewatsky
I was walking down to the train the other day, thinking about a really tough conversation I need to have with someone I care deeply about. As I walked, I became aware of footsteps coming up behind me. I glanced to the side as a man about my age passed me, looking over at me as he passed. Once he was a few yards ahead, he stopped and turned to face me.
"What’s wrong, Madface?"
Jerked out of my thoughts, I looked up at him.
"I’m sorry, excuse me?"
"Madface. You look upset."
"I’m fine."
"I’m just sayin’ you look upset."
"I’m fine."
After that, he turned and kept walking. I saw him a few minutes later at the train station and walked by without acknowledging that we’d ever spoken. It doesn’t seem so bad at first. He only asked me if I was okay. It even seems nice, right? But he’s a stranger. I wasn’t mad, or really upset, but what if I was? Would I really spill my pain to a stranger on the street? And the nickname. It felt overly familiar, as though he had some right to create an intimate relationship with some strange woman on the street.
I have a right to my feelings and expressions. I don’t owe it to anyone, particularly strange men, to look happy, regardless of how I’m feeling.

"I must be a masochist," by Miriam Lazewatsky
theinbetweenie:
Some dude messaged me on a dating site. His note was nice enough, but his profile was another story. Filled with crap about how women (oh, sorry, “females”) shouldn’t be so touchy about giving out our phone numbers because - get this - apparently he doesn’t think we’re “worth” stalking (or worse). And clearly we should want to chat with him because “even his grandmother” has figured out how to use AIM (or was it Yahoo? or Gchat?). But he doesn’t actually like talking on the phone, so don’t expect that. Or an into email that’s more than a line. He “doesn’t put that much effort into meeting women at bars” so why would he do it on a dating site?
Right. Dude’s a charmer, clearly.
My favorite part was at the end, where he got all pissy that some woman got upset because he called her a “fat cow”. Apparently it doesn’t matter if fat women have feelings because he doesn’t care. Yeah, he actually said that.
Unsurprisingly, my response to his desire for a chat was a resounding “no”, along with an explanation that I don’t like talking to men who are so clearly douchebags and that his profile was one of the most repellent things I’d ever seen.
He actually wrote back. He wrote back and asked me why his profile was so awful.
And God help me I actually responded (after the necessary “you’re trolling, right?”). I told him that the whole tone sounded bitter and that calling women who were thinking about writing to him “pathetic” was off-putting. I told him that most women, regardless of whether or not he might consider us “fat cows” (apparently, anything under the 220 lbs. he weighs is acceptable - funny, because I weigh less than he does and I’m still fat. Obese, even) find it misogynistic and disturbing that he thinks it’s okay to be cruel to other people just because he doesn’t find them attractive.
I even did a brief explanation of why it’s not okay to refer to women as “females”. (Adjectives need nouns, asshole. I’m not some random female something - dog? cow? pigeon? - I’m a human being and female [identified] human beings are generally called women.)
Like I said, I must be a masochist.
Of course, his response was the obligatory last refuge of the hopelessly misogynistic asshole: accusations of rambling.
Stay classy.

Dear people of Tumblr
I love following body/sexuality positive blogs, but please remember that some of us are on Tumblr at work and having nudes pop up really isn’t ideal. I know it’s hard with time differences, but I’ve definitely seen some people in my time zone posting nudes in the middle of the day.
Would it be possible to wait until after typical work hours to do that? I really don’t want to unfollow you.

I am disgusted by the American government right now
I am disgusted that my agency as an adult woman is less important than a clump of cells that has the potential to become a human being. It sickens me that I am expected - by some dude who will never get pregnant, no less - to only have sex if I’m willing to give birth should my birth control fail. I am disgusted that if said dude deigns to allow me access to abortion, he also wants me to be counseled by a clergy member. You want to bet that the clergy person won’t be of my religion because I’m not Christian? Yeah, I’d bet on it, too. Oh, and God forbid (excuse the term) I not believe in any deity at all.
Fuck this shit. Whatever the hell happened to “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness”? What happened to separation of church and state? I am goddamned embarrassed to live in a country in which someone like Michelle-fucking-Bachmann can be elected to national office. Where someone like Newt Gingrich can whine about how allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry will destroy the “sanctity of marriage” even though he’s been married three times and cheated on two of his wives.
And you know what I’m tired of hearing? “If you don’t like it, leave.” Fuck no. This is just as much my country as any conservative.
So, to every conservative politician who thinks that my body is public property because I have a uterus, who thinks that gay and lesbian couples will destroy the “sanctity” of marriage, who doesn’t believe that trans* people need or deserve protections, who think that ugly or fat women can’t get raped or sexually harassed:
"FUCK YOU," reasons Miriam Lazewatsky

"Yeah, that’s a good point. I also grew up middle class and had a father who was into technology; my brother [Joel Lazewatsky] is now studying computer science at the graduate level and it was obvious from pretty early on that he was going to study something tech related. We never had any sort of video game systems, but always had several computers and lots of computer games."
