idle musings

I changed my tag from “fat acceptance” to “body acceptance” tonight. I feel that better reflects my personal struggle because while fat is a part of it, sometimes it has nothing to do with it. Take yesterday for example. My previous entry on here was talking about how great kickboxing was after using my inhaler [...]

Please link to this post whenever someone claims that fat people aren’t violently hated (and there are people who claim that). The hate takes my breath away. That there are people who not only feel this way but are comfortable enough in their hate to share it with the world … it’s sad.

I had my first cardio kickboxing class tonight in more than a week. Usually that would mean I would be gasping for breath and exhausted. Instead, with the help of my inhaler, and my lungs which could then actually expand to their full capacity and draw in enough oxygen to fuel my body, I felt [...]

I had my appointment with the allergist yesterday. (Is that the official title? I dunno.) Let me just backtrack here for a moment and say that I have a few expectations of doctors. It’s not that I’m overly picky – I use a walk-in clinic for most of my needs and see whatever doctor happens [...]

Still feeling ill. I spent all of yesterday in bed, on the couch, or in the bathroom. Good times. I’m not sure at this point whether I have the stomach bug that is going around or if this was a bad IBS flare-up. Shitty either way (pun intended). I cancelled all work plans for today [...]

Go check out Cute Overload right this very second. I want to smoosh all of them. So cute.

Took a two hour nap, got up feeling a little groggy but better, and am now back to achey and nauseous. I think the achey may have something to do with my couch. I lie on it quite a bit and it’s really not very comfortable. Not that I have the spare cash lying around [...]

I started feeling nauseous and headachey last night, so I took it easy and lay on the couch all evening. I was freezing, which is a sure sign I’m getting sick. I went to bed at 9 absolutely exhausted but then couldn’t fall asleep so I took a Gravol for the nausea, hoping it would [...]
