    First!

    Trying to imagine myself as a biker babe and I like it! First things first though, for now I'll be taking it one step at a time. My health is still good, it's just that I've reached that point in my life when I need to make some changes to keep it that way. Old habits are hard to break so if I...

    I just had my first swimming lesson -and a good laugh!

    I'm having problems with my legs and feet too so methinx some low-impact exercise (and -- sigh -- possibly losing a little weight) might help me too. I began swimming last month and water aerobics this month, and it feels great. I'm learning what my body "wants" to do in the water, but I'm...

    First!

    My mother will be 80 this year and she might give you a good run! Me, not so much. I do need to get more exercise but I'd probably need a farm tractor seat to fully support my tush. Wide load, ya know. :D No doubt about it, age and weight are catching up with me and I'm having problems with...

    First!

    I'm 54. In a nutshell my 50s have seen me battle mild depression after my company was bought out 2 years ago and I was forcibly retired from a job I had more than 25 years. Lost a lot of my mobility sitting around the house bored bored bored, gained 70lb, and more or less vanished from the face...

    The Cleveland Show - did anyone see it last night?

    I decided to watch the Cleveland Show for the first time this week and it turned out to be a good one. I expected a lot of fat jokes about Kendra on her scooter but they weren't mean at all. She actually turned out to be a heroine. A crooked casino owner swindled Cleveland, and Kendra...

    Food Police

    That's good. He knows he crossed the line once, and you are not about to let him get away it again. Sad to say, with men like him our first line of defense is ourselves, and we need to stop that kind of behavior immediately and firmly, or they'll keep it up. Usually it's enough to put your foot...

    Food Police

    Later I learned that in my case the food policewoman (or "Eater-Meter Maid" as I almost nickname her) is forever on a strict diet to maintain her slim figure. It annoys her to sit there and watch a fat woman enjoy the food she denies herself. Well, that's the way the cookie (or pie or cake)...

    "Close your eyes." ;) She was probably envious that you were enjoying yourself. :rolleyes:

    Food Police

    How do you deal with people who appoint themselves to monitor what you eat? Today I went out to lunch today with 3 acquaintances, one of whom was from the undercover food police. When dessert came, she touched the back of my hand and asked, "Sue, honey, do you really need that?" Grrrrr. :mad...

    Crappy Facebook Group ....feel free to report it

    Some friends and relatives have been trying to talk me into joining Facebook because I don't know what I'm missing. Maybe that's good! :mad: Well, I'll probably join Facebook anyway, but in little baby steps instead of plunging right in.

    Adventure sports for fat people??

    I agree that water sports are mostly very fat friendly. I haven't tried scuba diving, but snorkeling in the Caribbean or in Hawaii is just plain awesome. Jet skiing is fantastic too. My husband also talked me into those big long waterslides at water parks against my better judgment, where you...

    Having to Prove Yourself as a Woman?

    In my personal life, no. Thank goodness as a teenager I stumbled into the realization that if I felt good about myself and considered myself attractive, others would pick up on it and find me desirable, no matter how fat I was. Part of it was accidentally discovering I had a quick wit, so I...

    Your Dims Honeymoon

    Back around 1999/2000 my husband and my boss dragged me kicking and screaming into the internet era. After I got my feet wet, I reckoned this here internet thingamabob might not be so fearsome after all, especially after I stumbled upon sites like Dimensions. Growing up as a fat girl in the...

    Fat Friendly Jobs

    Some fields may or may not be more fat-friendly than others, but there may be some steps we can take toward a more fat-friendly environment. Sometimes the hardest part is to be totally honest about our needs. I've worked myself up the ladder and am now an office manager. I haven't had to...

    Coming to terms

    That's wonderful. Great to hear things are moving along fine. :) You never know what this might lead to. Wayyyy back in 1977 I fell in love with a certain guy who had never dated a fat girl before. Now what do I have to show for it? Almost 28 years of happy marriage, that's what! :D...

    Most embarrassing fat moment?

    Whenever I swap wardrobes for the season, there's no small suspense as I find what fits from the previous year, and what doesn't. One winter's day 5 years ago I wore a certain pair of slacks that were much tighter than I remembered, but I sucked in my belly anyway and squeezed my fat into them...

    Mothers, Daughters and Obesity

    I didn't know whether this belonged in this topic or in "People's inability to guess weight" (http://dimensionsmagazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68994), but the mother-daughter relationship is "special" in more ways than one, so here it goes. I made the mistake of telling my mother I was...
