It’s been a while; did you miss me? Let’s talk about bras… well, one in particular. As someone who’s had large breasts almost all my life (C cup at age 12!!), it hasn’t been easy finding a good sports bra that doesn’t make the girls look like a huge uniboob, especially as I got older… Continue reading Review: The Elite Performance Adjustable Support Bra by Glamorise
On February 9, 2018 I became a little sister. Actually a little half-sister…. or is that a half-little sister? It feels surreal. As I’ve written in previous posts, I was adopted as an infant. It happened in New York which is a closed record state. That means adoption records and original birth certificates aren’t released under any circumstance.… Continue reading 23andMe and Michael
There are countless articles and blogs on weight loss (whether intentionally or unintentionally) but few positive discussions about when the numbers on a scale creep up and it’s not due to being due to have a baby…. and by positive discussion I don’t mean suggesting diets or other ways to lose weight. Weight gain happens. It… Continue reading When You Gain Weight
It’s Thanksgiving and here I am…. at home, makeup free and in my comfy sweatpants and t-shirt, almost recovered from a bout with the flu. The turkey and sides were delicious, leftovers are put away and dishes are done (thanks, Ken!!). Now, while I write, I’m watching/listening to Barbra Streisand’s concert film on Netflix. It’s… Continue reading Not How I Planned
Cancer. Thyroid cancer to be specific. Sorry, folks, there’s just no easy way to break that kind of news. I lost track of how many times I started this post and deleted it. Despite being one of the good ones to have (according to my endocrinologist) cancer is a scary word. But if I can… Continue reading C is for…
Unpopular opinion ahead: Unlike some body positive / fat acceptance advocates, I’m not angry over designer and Project Runway winner Ashley Nell Tipton’s recent public announcement that she underwent gastric bypass surgery. I had actually known this for several weeks but said nothing to no one because it was not my news to share. HER body, HER… Continue reading ANT & WLS: I Ain’t Mad At Ya, Ashley
Earlier this week I posted on my personal Facebook page about my latest blood test results… still improving since they were mentioned in an earlier blog post. Almost immediately there were messages asking what I did. It reminds me of those who brag about weight loss or post before/after photos. Invariably someone wants to know their “secret” and… Continue reading Ch-ch-ch-choices
Hello beauties. Here it is, the first day of 2017 and I’m starting it with some self love. Between work, the holidays and family matters the last few weeks had been hectic. I started to feel run down but errands have to be run and things have to get done, right? So it was no surprise… Continue reading Taking Care of Me
One of the fashion bloggers I enjoy following is Corissa of Fat Girl Flow. I love her style and “I’m fat and don’t give a fuck what anyone says about it” attitude. Recently she posted a video where she stated “Do not look me in the eye, tell me you are on Weight Watchers and… Continue reading Because I Love My Body (aka In Defense of Corissa)
This past Saturday I spent the night at a local hospital’s sleep center for a study because it’s been a long time since I’ve had a good night’s rest. My doctor wanted to know whether I have sleep apnea, a disorder in which one’s breathing stops or becomes shallow while asleep. That’s where I met… Continue reading Concern Trolling Is Not Your Job
