My Fat Politics Have No Upper Limit

June 19, 2018
by lizanotlisa with No Comment Fat

Here's an obnoxious trend I've noticed: Sometimes, when people talk about fat acceptance or body positivity, they will put a limit on their support. This is not OK. There's far too much "I'm all for fat acceptance, but..." or "body positivity is great ...

I’m Not Trying Exercise, I’m Doing It

June 11, 2018
by lizanotlisa with No Comment Fat

One of the times I’ve had trolls come after me was when I posted a picture of myself all sweaty and gross after a boxing class. It wasn’t the hateful bigots that bothered me, though. It was some of the people trying to “defend” me. While there were ple ...

May 17, 2018
by lizanotlisa with No Comment Fat

I just saw a post on Facebook about a fitness app called Carrot. Thinking it might be something fun to try out, I headed on over to the App Store to look at it. It only took about 5 seconds to see it's extremely fatphobic. Full disclosure, I did not ...

I Really, Really Hate the Word “Flattering”

March 27, 2018
by lizanotlisa with No Comment FashionFat

To me, the word flattering should mean “what I personally feel looks best on me, based on my own personal standards for my appearance.” Unfortunately, in our thin-obsessed fashion world, it has become code for “smaller.” I hate -- like, really, really, R ...

Let’s (Not) Talk About Trump’s Weight

January 18, 2018
by lizanotlisa with No Comment Fat

I really don’t like having to defend anything about Donald Trump. Look what you’ve made me do. It came out that “President” Trump, following a physical, is supposedly 6'3" and 239 pounds. Why we are supposed to care about this, I don’t know (actually I d ...

If you've been paying attention over the past few days, you may have seen a viral post going around by a man talking about his wife's body. I'm not going to link to it, but the basic gist is that she's a little curvy and he still manages to love her any ...

Stop Comparing Fatness to Smoking

July 1, 2017
by lizanotlisa with No Comment Fat

I was on Facebook recently and made the mistake of reading comments on a post relating to fat. I know, when will I learn? GIF from Swear Trek One that struck me was along the lines of “what’s next, we’re gonna write about smoking acceptance?” Insert f ...

You Don’t Need to Be Changing to Demand Respect

June 16, 2017
by lizanotlisa with No Comment Fat

More and more often, we’ve been seeing pieces written by individuals who are calling out bigots for their horrible words or actions. This is great, but all too often the ones aimed at fat-shaming include some caveat about how the author has lost weight, i ...

I Don’t Care If You’re Healthy

June 4, 2017
by lizanotlisa with No Comment FatHealth

I’m sure that headline would be fodder for the haters, if this were a popular enough blog to have them. But it’s true. I don’t care how healthy you are. Why? Because it makes no difference in deciding whether you deserve to be treated humanely or not. ...

What if I Lose Weight By Accident?

May 28, 2017
by lizanotlisa with No Comment Fat

This is something I’ve thought about a lot. As someone who has some medical conditions that lead to weight gain, I’ve often wondered, if in the process of treating these issues, my weight changes, specifically if I lose weight, what will that mean? Does t ...
