    Mariah Carey bullied into WLS

    Mariah is the one who said she was bullied into the decision. I wasn't citing anyone else. Her own statement proves the trolls won. The only real winners here are the Bariatric industry since they now have proof from a customer that hateful peer pressure works to encourage people to seek WLS...

    In Rememberance

    I always admired Cat's work. She was a skilled artist that enriched our community with her Fat Chick vignettes. It was jarring to see she had passed from this mortal plane so relatively young. I hope those that knew and loved Cat can find peace with her passing.

    "18-30 Stone Holidays"

    Hopefully it's better facilitated than the Freedom Paradise resort that was tried in Mexico in the early 2000's. It takes more than bigger furniture added to an average hotel to make a good environment for fat folks.

    Why I hate social media and events

    Sven, my advice to you would be to just go to BBW events and talk with women to make friends and not expect benefits or a LTR. I enjoyed lots of NAAFA conventions and other BBW events that way and eventually wound up with a SSBBW wife as a result. As for the black guy that said all the BBWs...

    Skinny guys

    I've had a 505 lbs lover on to of me (I was ~230lbs at the time and I'm 6'5"). I did have to have her off my chest after about five to ten minutes so I could catch my breath. But it was great until then. Same story with my wife when she was about 430 lbs.:smitten: But I was older and it took...

    body positivity versus reality

    It seems to be documenting just another day for young lovers in the 'ole swimmin' hole in east Texas, the edge of bayou country.

    Ultra Sized Health Improvements with Technology

    Glad you seem to have stayed dry. A friend in Sour Lake wasn't as lucky. I'm surprised at how few used scooters are available for sale in the Houston Craigs List. (Maybe it's due to the flood or maybe Houston has fewer bariatric surgeons than Dallas?) There are several with four wheels in...

    Did the LA County Metro just criminalize riding while fat?

    In articles talking about the LA Metro combating "manspreading" (a questionable practice due to physiologic differences of men having narrower pelvis'), the apparent wording appears to seriously impact fat people. The key phrase is "Occupying more than one seat". It's apparently in the...

    Notice of Closure of the Soap Box

    Time will tell whether it was a cesspool, or a necessary wetlands for the biosphere of Dimensions. I believe we've seen the loss of a necessary wetland. Yes, laden with snakes and creepy-crawlies but necessary nonetheless. You don't need to visit a wetland to benefit from it. I fully agree with...

    Pear Shaped vs Apple Shaped - Associated Health Risks Equal for Both

    If you're referring to the JECM where the original article appeared, it is a peer reviewed publication of the century old Endocrine Society. If they're not qualified to write about endocrine issues we're all in trouble If you're referring to the OP link to the Star-Tribune, I just chalk it up...

    Pear Shaped vs Apple Shaped - Associated Health Risks Equal for Both

    Chemerin, a protein associated with inflammation and atherosclerosis. Link to summary of actual article with downloadable PDF: https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-lookup/doi/10.1210/jc.2012-3673 I suspect they skewed the study by requiring participants with central obesity and that already...

    Political Images thread

    I'd say allow ONE text response per person to an IMAGE and no followup text responses to previous text responses. That should prevent the pages of back and forth posts that some found so objectionable in the olde Hyde Park.

    Steak and a blowtorch?

    A gas flame shouldn't make that much of a difference. A gas stove does take a slightly different technique than electric to get similar results. And professional chefs usually prefer gas stoves so most restaurants use gas stoves, ovens and flat tops. (And gas is usually cheaper than electric to...

    Steak and a blowtorch?

    I'd never heard of sous vide before your post. (OK, I'm not an Epicure, just a mundane foodie.) From my little bit of reading it looks like you could pan sear the meat to get the Maillard reaction (or "browning") instead of using a torch. And in my area you can snag a used Foodsaver on...

    Reactions and Observations From a "Mismatched" Couple

    That's probably true in the majority of cases. The 'Jack Sprat and his wife' trope runs deep through our cultural memory. Plus the imagery of the 'big, strong man and his little woman'. (Stereotypes usually start with a kernel of reality.) But there are so many other reasons as well: The guy...

    What's your latest kick?

    IIH (Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension)

    Just an FYI: IIH is not an issue of high blood pressure, despite the 'hypertension' in the name. It's a separate issue related to impairment of the spines safety valve system that allows cerebrospinal fluid to be effectively vented to the body as a means of regulating the pressure...
