    Fat doctors less likely to help obese patients lose weight

    In terms of the lowish overall percentage of fat people who maintain long-term significant weight loss, I wouldn't say that thin doctors are any more likely to "help obese patients lose weight."

    BBW Confessions thread

    Penguin - Hoping the walking gets manageable (and even pleasant!) as soon as possible. Sounds like even though you're acknowledging the hard parts, you have a really good attitude about it overall - that goes a long way! AWESOME!!! It's awesome that you were willing to take such a fun risk...

    Do you get annoyed when your partner can't do something because they are fat?

    For the record, non-fat people can be lazy too.

    Has Gaining Gone Too Far?

    To be clear, I was never diagnosing anyone with an eating disorder or a mental health issue. I was talking about certain behaviors as being more promoting of bodily health, or not. Though, you are absolutely right that someone's "health" is really a holistic concept that should include the...

    Has Gaining Gone Too Far?

    Really, I think the argument has to come down to body autonomy, and not to emphasize the health aspect. While someone's size does not give a clear picture of their health, if someone chooses to binge frequently, indulge in a lot of junk foods, and not exercise, those are simply not healthy...

    Encounter with Fat Hate: The Room (movie)

    The mean-spirited nature of the screening of this movie makes Rocky Horror seem like Sesame Street (albeit with more seckshuality). I realized it was a loud, participatory movie - and was looking forward to that aspect of it. The mean-spirited, violent nature of some of the comments was just not...

    Encounter with Fat Hate: The Room (movie)

    It certainly couldn't hurt to complain to the theater management. The more troubling thing to me, though, is that this is what's happening at showings of this film all over the country. This wasn't an isolated incident in this one theater at this one showing. When I did a google search I...

    Encounter with Fat Hate: The Room (movie)

    No worries, sister. And thanks. If I was sitting on the aisle, I would have been out of there in a heartbeat. But didn't feel safe getting up and drawing attention to myself as I slammed into a row of people's legs trying to get out while the movie was playing, y'know?

    Encounter with Fat Hate: The Room (movie)

    I don't think I'm still traumatized, I more now just want to share the experience with people who would understand how hurtful it would be, and maybe to get ideas as to how other people might have reacted or responded. To be honest, I stayed all the way through because the guy right behind me...

    Encounter with Fat Hate: The Room (movie)

    Interesting thought. Catharsis. I think there is something to that. I mean, these people had obviously seen the movie a TON of times because they all knew what was coming in each scene and would yell things before they happened, etc. So it's clear they enjoy it. While the mean-spirited...

    Encounter with Fat Hate: The Room (movie)

    I did share with him. We talked some about it right afterward, and then had a very long conversation about it the next day after I had more time to think about it and sort through more of my thoughts and feelings (and he did too). He was very receptive and said that he left feeling a similar...

    Encounter with Fat Hate: The Room (movie)

    Recently I went to a midnight showing of this horrible, horrible movie called The Room which came out in 2003 - and is really just a terrible movie on every level, but because of its horrendous acting and indiscernible plot, it has become a kind of hilarious cult film that people love to make...

    What book are you reading right now?

    Well, did you like 1Q84? And, which aspects of it did you like the most? Some of his novels focus more on the fantastical stuff, some other stuff, some are longer some shorter. It depends what you like. My favorites are The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore. I also like Hard...

    What book are you reading right now?

    I have about 300 pages to go... :) Elephant Vanishes is good, so is After the Quake (both short story collections). If you're in the mood for short stories I really like them - but overall I like Murakami's novels a lot more than his short stories. Have you already read all of those?

    Emotional Intimacy

    I am not surprised that no one has chosen that they would *rather* have a close friend to confide in than a significant other. I mean, assuming a significant other would also hopefully be a close friend - then if you can only have one or the other, I can imagine it would be the one you can also...

    What do you like about the previous poster? Part Trois!

    She has a lovely heart and cares about people's well-being beyond the surface and easy answers.

    Fat sex with a non-FA

    You were thinking of me? I am so flattered! :wubu: Sometimes I think fears of a relationship not working out just need something concrete to attach themselves to, just so we can feel more control or more groundedness or whatever. And not that these specific body fears aren't real or true (they...
