    Dress pants?

    Hi all - Any tips on where you get your pants for work? I loved the LB Houston pants until they made them Right Fit - then they didn't fit me right anymore! Last fall I gave up after trying Avenue, J Jill, Ulla P, and Jessica London and just soldiered through with my old pants but the jig...

    Bras...............

    Try Her Room: http://www.herroom.com/46C,bras,46C,001,14.html They can be a little spendy but they also have sales. Good luck! Finding great bras is a challenge. I am surprised LB doesn't have 46. I had the idea they went to 48.

    I need help

    For really severe dry skin, there's nothing better than Aquaphor (orginally recommended by my dermatologist) but it is really thick - don't expect to put it on your hands, for ex, and then pick up anything without leaving an oil slick. It'd made by eurcerin. It is truly miraculous if you...

    infuriated at Lane Bryant customer service

    And the thing that makes me the maddest is that I know I'll end up giving them my money again - there are more options for fat girls, but not that many more - especially when their pants and undies work so well for me. Sigh.

    infuriated at Lane Bryant customer service

    Like many of you, I received the "gift cheque" offer over email from Lane Bryant - buy $150, get $50 off. I was going to wait until their "Houston" pants were on sale (my favorite for work) but I figured I'd order them now with this offer. Woe to those who do not read the teeny tiny fine...

    Wall E

    The director of Wall E was on NPR yesterday - he said the original idea was to design humans who were blob-like b/c when people are in zero gravity for too long, they lose bone mass. When that didn't work out, they went for a design to make the humans resemble giant babies who need to take...

    Supersize characters in books and literature

    I hardly post at all, but after submitting my "chick-lit" novel with a fat girl heroine to about 25 agents and hearing "great, but not quite right for me," I decided to post some of it on a blog. It's the story of a fat woman, Nora Flynn, who decides to get revenge on the dieting industry by...

    Avoiding FAs

    This has been a really interesting thread - and I find myself agreeing with Ripley and Lily and Ann Marie all at the same time because you just never know when and in what venue the stars will align and something "clicks." For reasons that go way beyond the potential fetishistic behavior of...

    Are you a PFH? (Panicky Food Hoarder)

    How glad am I you posted this, because I feel like less of a weirdo. For example, I was on a business trip in early November. After a group dinner, I stopped at the convenience store on my way back to the hotel to buy several snack options, so I know I had them in case I wanted them...

    a random iTunes question

    Definitely update related. My list used to start with 'til Tuesday - since the last update, it's filed under the "t"s.

    In pictures?

    I can totally relate, Surly. I went to a big event not long ago, feeling all gussied up and hot with lots of people giving me compliments and when I saw the photos taken at the event, I wanted to leave the house with a bag on my head. However, a few things: there have been more times I can...

    Pan's Labyrinth

    At the 4th of July picnic I was at, we had a big discussion about this and concluded it wasn't over our heads - I don't think it was clear what the connection was between the two storylines. I enjoyed it and the little girl was very moving, but I did feel I was missing some bigger message the...

    Internet dating question for the gentlemen!

    After a number of perfectly fine but not-my-type men who contacted me, I got two, count 'em, two contacts today from married men looking for "discrete fun." This did not happen when I have a blander profile. It makes me mad. Believe me, there is nothing in my profile that says "I'm going to...

    Internet dating question for the gentlemen!

    I thought I'd give you a little update on what has happened since I rewrote my online dating profile to be "out there" as a proud fat girl: No "Mr. Right" as yet, but definitely more men have contacted me than with my more generic "I like dining out and movies" profile. I think there's...

    bicycle shorts alternative?

    Thanks ladies - both great alternatives for when I don't want to feel like I'm wearing gym-gear under a pretty dress.

    bicycle shorts alternative?

    It's summer, time for sundresses, and for me that means wearing bicycle shorts under the sundress since it's too warm for pantyhose (and I hate hose anyway) and I like to protect my precious inner thighs from chafing. Anyone have any other methods for...

    What's your cute weight gain fantasy?

    That is so....hot. Sigh. Now I can both stop over-analyzing my own fantasies, enjoy the ride, and let my fantasy extend to my partner doing all the ordering for me in restaurants.

    Fat Teachers

    Teaching is all about creating relationships, not about appearance, and I can say that from both own schooling experience and from my own work in education. If you challenge kids to think, treat their contributions with respect, give helpful feedback, and keep their eyes on the bigger goals...
