    Size Discrimination Literature...

    Hey there everyone! I know it's been many months since my last post, but here's evidence that I have in fact NOT dropped off the face of the Earth... at least not entirely, anyway. Once the schoolwork tapers off for the Summer, I'll probably be more of a regular contributer to the forums...

    Fat Families

    I was out getting some ice cream last evening and noticed a family, a father with his two daughters, who were also in line. He happened to be a very large man and his daughters (my best guess was that they looked about 11 and 14 years old) would most definitely have been considered supersized...

    Size and Coupling...

    This week was my town's annual art fair... it draws a large regional crowd and the streets are absolutely packed all day. Walking around, I was both happy to see plenty of stunning BBW out and about, many of whom were paired with some lucky gentlemen. Now, what struck me as interesting was the...

    "Overweight Kids face Widespread Stigma" - AP

    Here's an article from the AP that I noticed that happened to bring up a particularly good point about the reality of being fat in our society and how it's approached - there's too many groups trying to STOP obesity (particularly in children) and not enough groups to SUPPORT those who are fat...

    When friends just get it...

    So I was sitting at the bus stop today with my female friend, when a really pretty big girl came walking up the street near where we were. I kept on glancing over at her, and made a comment to my friend about how I thought that tongue piercings were for the most part sexy since the girl I was...

    Buying effing Khaki/Cargo shorts...

    Are you serious? I'm not that big of a person... really. I wear a size 42 or 44 and there is nothing, I mean NOTHING in my size at either Kohl's, Old Navy, or Target! This is absurd. I went shopping specifically for some basic cargo shorts... but even in jeans and pants these stores didn't...

    After a long wait...

    So in this past week I've been recovering from a god awful tonsilectomy and, of course, the variety of food I can have has been quite limited. It's all liquids or soft mushy solids, and nothing really hot or flavorful. Sadly... I have about another week of this, and all I can think about is...

    Tonsilectomy: A Foodee's Worst Nightmare

    I'll keep it really simple... I'M SO HUNGRY. My stomach doesn't realize that my throat is in incredible pain, and all that I can have today are cold clear liquids. Tomorrow, I might be able to eat applesauce or soft bread. Really... all I want is a big fat sandwich or an entire pot of...

    Best Concert You've ever been to...

    Summer is the season for concerts... so what was your best live music experience? Mine was seeing the Counting Crows with Graham Colton Band at Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia, MD) in August of 2004. Baltimore is Adam Durwitz's hometown so not only was the set well over two hours... but...

    2007 Singles Thread... with a twist!

    Just to add another more introspective element to the discussion of "singleness"... I remember last semester in my Sociology of Marriage and Family course that we talked about being Single as a state of being and the different approaches people take to being single. It's 1:50am and I've been...

    Yet another weight loss commercial...

    Has anyone seen this one for NutriSystem? It's for men who want to lose weight though still want to be manly men and eat hearty meals. Apparently you buy their food (how do they get it to you... I always wondered that?) that's apparently is healthy because they "separate the good carbs from...

    Sociology of being fat...

    Today in my Sociology of Health and Aging class, the topic of lecture/discussion happened to be obesity (my professor is a researcher and this happens to be her specific area) and it was used as an example to describe how a health condition can affect various areas of the health spectrum- on...

    FA: Dissecting the Term

    "FA" is a pretty universal term in our community, and from everything I've ever understood it stands for "Fat Admirer." I have no qualms whatsoever with this term, but I think that it warrents some examination. Let me know if I'm looking too much into this. I'm well aware that in many cases a...

    Casual Male XL

    What do any of the BHM (or ladies who outfit their BHMs) think about this store? I'm in need of some new pairs of jeans and while I can find a few pairs that are my sizes (44ish, depending on the brand) in stores like Kohl's and Old Navy, the selection is very limited. I was thinking of...

    Dims Advertisements...

    I know it costs money to run a website... so many times advertisements are necessary and I completely understand that. Today, though, I was really appalled at the nature of some of the advertising when I was casually viewing a thread. I'm not positive as to how this works, but some...

    How you say it.

    This is one of those threads where it's quite apparent that I have no social life, even on a Saturday, but here it goes... When large people describe their physical appearance it's always, in very basic terms, "I am fat." When others describe a large person's physical appearance it's always...

    College Basketball Coach...

    So this isn't a normal topic for the boards, but I guess that's why we have the lounge. The University of Tennessee, in the athletics world, is generally known for two sports: Football and Women's Basketball. They have a pretty decent men's basketball team, but their not in the regular blue...

    Getting Clever on a Tight Budget

    I know everyone has their own recipe like these, so let's see them! Anything that is cheap, tasty, healthy (or not?)... whatever not-so-gourmet but darn good concoctions you've thrown together with not so many resources (say you're a college kiddo like me) or options. Here's two I happen to...

    I've missed you all!

    Sadly, the backlight and display adaptor on my laptop decided to stop working two weeks ago. I have, until now, been without a computer since then and it's a terrible thing, let me tell you... especially during finals week. Granted, I had massive amounts of studying, countless hours of putting...
