In my many (many) years on this earth, I have learned, as an almost always fat person, that blaming your fatness for your problems is not only not useful in any meaningful way, but is also often incorrect.

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – FAT KNEES

So far, in this long and varied life of mine, I have not suffered too much trouble with my knees. (Please, everyone reading this, knock on wood.) Kind of surprising, because bad knees run in my family – on my Dad’s side. Lucky for this fat old lady, I take after my Mom’s side of…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINES

Here’s the deal. We are frequently told how fat people are at risk for high blood pressure. Okay. So it behooves us to have it checked now and again. Righty-o. Want an accurate reading – use an old-fashioned sphygmomanometer. That’s that thing that used to hang on every doctor’s wall, and they’d put it on…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – CURVYCON

Has anyone heard of theCurvyCon before? I sure hadn’t, until I was working on the NAAFA Newsletter Roundup – and it was mentioned in an article talking about NY Fashion Week. I was intrigued. I visited their website. theCurvyCon.com theCurvyCon takes place the same week as NY Fashion Week and provides a safe place for…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – A ROSE IS A ROSE AND A BAG OF SHIT IS A BAG OF SHIT

You know how when a business gets such a bad reputation they change their name – thinking nobody will notice they are still the same awful company, just with a new name? Well, apparently somebody thinks that will work for weight loss surgery too. Imagine my surprise when reading about some fat science that weight…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – WELLNESS INDUSTRY – THE DIET INDUSTRY IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

Everyone knows that there are two sure things in life – death and taxes. Well, you can add a third – that you can make money off the back of fat people. A somewhat recent entry is the “wellness” industry. These are folks who go to other businesses and recommend wellness programs for the employees…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – A NEW DIKKE DAME DOLL – SHE’S A WITCH!

Here she is folks!  All set for Halloween. My latest Dikke Dame (Fat Lady) doll. A fat witch. She is a lot like the one I made for my darling cousin Alice, but a little bit different. No cape – instead, she has long sleeves, a frilly contrasting underskirt (purple petticoat with black frill) and…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – WHY HEALTH AT EVERY SIZE IS IMPORTANT

Many of my non-fat friends (and some of my fat friends) have never heard of the HAES® (Health at Every Size) approach to healthcare. It is an important concept – a concept of treating the patient in an environment of weight neutrality. It is a concept (as I understand it) of trying to help the…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – I CALL BS ON “SHITTY” RESEARCH

How do you get funding for your research? Associate it with weight loss! No matter how tenuous the connection, no matter if your research already shows that it doesn’t work – more research is needed. You know what? I would love if being fat were a choice. But for most people it isn’t. Just like…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – WHEN A FATTY LOSES WEIGHT

An article I recently read deals with what happens when a fat “influencer” loses weight and how the fat community deals with this. Influencer Weight Loss The answer is – It depends. If you were fat and used to be all over the internet talking about what a hot and fierce fatty you are and…
