A fat positive lifestyle blog.
I swear, there is so much truth to the old cliche, "when it rains, it pours." Sometimes it feels like you're in a rut for a long time, and then when you make one change, others follow. For months I was toiling away pretty happily, doing my blogging work ...
I've been really trying to buckle down on my dissertation. It's been way too long and I've gotten very little done, so I think I need some accountability. So I'm going to post regular updates on this blog about my progress, aiming for weekly. I need so ...
