SALES POST GUIDE LINES Once again, I am posting sales post guidelines, this time where they will be front and center where everyone can see them. SALES POSTS ARE ON THURSDAYS ONLY!!!!!! IF YOU SUBMIT THEM ANY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK THEY WILL BE REJECTED AUTOMATICALLY. ALL SALES POSTS NEED TO BE BEHIND A CUT! THIS WILL BE THE LAST WEEK THAT WE WILL LEAVE POSTS UP FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR BEFORE...

Yah, I know, like I need another one. But I've stumbled upon the wonderful world of fat fashion - fatshion, if you will - blogs. Someone linked to fatshionista and it went from there. There are oodles and oodles of great tips, info, and techniques that I had no idea about. And, of course, people's outfits of the day. It's amazing. Blogs: Fatshionista (blog form) Young, Fat, and Fabulous...

In a post asking about keeping one's pants on, lost_cosmos heelturns from 'No Hot Topic in Canada' to 'immigrants are like the pimps of our healthcare system.' WAT. http://community.livejournal.com/fatshionista/4846494.html?thread=111299230#t111299230 She got her ass b& for racism and escalation. Tiny... but kinda ridiculous.

(cross-posted to fatshionista I recently reconnected with a friend of mine from college and it turns out now she is a professor of psychology at the University of Hawai'i whose field of study is obesity, eating disorders and weight bias. She has a number of interesting research papers out but one I specifically wanted to share with you all is a comparison of weight bias to other forms of...

I resisted the clothes. I am going to focus on saving money for as long as I can, barring that will at least wait until I drop a size to buy new clothes :) I should just put a picture of the dress I like the best on my desktop with a note that says "drop a size and you can buy it". Motivation! Don't tell the folks at fatshionista that I'm trying to lose weight though, such talk is Not Permitted...

The following was a response to a low-midsize woman (c. women's size 16) discussing some issues on fatshionista . She said that she thought she got some kinds of comments that fatter people don't get. I think she's right; I wanted to share this comment here as well. I'm 5' 4" and about 275, and I can tell you that we get probably as much hassles but, yes, of a different kind. For instance...

A series of discussion threads over on fatshionista brought up the alarming fact that Lane Bryant / Cacique is discontinuing its current line of F/G/H-cup bras, followed by the heartening disclosure from an employee of the company that the reason they're doing that is to relaunch the line in August. Now would be an opportune time to drop them a line, should you so choose. I am a big fan of...

Hello soon-to-be-neighbooring fatties! I'm Natalie and I'm moving out to SF (city itself, near the inner sunset/UCSF area) in a few weeks at the end of July to start a PhD program in medical sociology at UCSF. I'm happily partnered to a newly graduated librarian dude and he'll be moving out with me as well. I'm a recent convert to fat/size acceptance and am still in what promises to be a long process...

I created sanfranfatties because I just moved to the bay area, and while I'd heard there was a good fat community out here, I had no idea how to get in touch with anyone. So a discussion over at fatshionista (where I was looking for community info and doctor recommendations) introduced me to some fabulous San Fran Fatties. I figure the city's big enough that we should be able to make...
