I added a new blog to my blogroll this week – Fatty McBlog. Not really pro-fat or anti-fat, it chronicles two girls experiences being fat and is usually laugh-out-loud funny. Seriously. I was glad my boss wasn’t around when I read the Chinatown entry or about the Bench Breaking Incident because I was practically snorting with laughter.
And may I say I’m glad these girls are actually fat, 300 pounds plus, and not little 200 pound whiners who just have to lose 40 pounds. I know I should be more sympathetic to my “people” no matter how much they have to lose, but there is a big difference between being overweight and having your knees hurt when you walk down the stairs.

Speaking as a member of the under-200-but-not size-0-brigade, with VERY BAD KNEES, I beg to differ. Now, OK, I tore the meniscus in the right one because I was trying to prove to the skinny girls that were trying to have me kicked off the team – yes, seriously – that I could do anything they could do – and DID, and set a record at college that has yet to be broken; the tear didn’t come until later when I stopped working out regularly – but my POINT is that if you are not a size 0 woman in current Western society, you suffer. And some of them suffer because they think they should be blonder, or tanner, or more anorexic, or …
We can’t really beat the bastards without working together. A little solidarity, please.
