I know I’ve been writing a little more introspectively lately. Stories definitely not as funny as some Fat Camp Follies, but I really think that they’re important.
I’m not in some weird “dark and moody” place right now, just kind of blah. Could be weather- this endless cold and snow is really wearing on my energy. (Aw hell, [...]
Quite a bit of commotion this weekend on Twitter and in the rest of the social media stratosphere (I’m a marketer, remember? Totally a fan of social media) having to do with director Kevin Smith getting asked to get off a Southwest Airlines plane because of his size (maybe).
I typically stay out of any sort [...]
So my last post generated some interesting replies, both on and off the blog. I really tried to think hard about why I wanted to lose weight. Motivation comes and goes, and as it does, I wanted to really think about the true reason that I want to lose weight.

The standard fatty answer we’ve been told to say all our lives is that “I want to be more healthy.”

Or not.
Don’t get me [...]
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run the walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
I’ve always loved this quote. Sometimes I wonder why I spent so much time standing still, or even going in reverse, being so negligent [...]
It is quite common for Fat Emmie to love shoes, bags and jewelry. These are things that aren’t quite as hard to shop for when you don’t fit in standard sizes. Problem is that Fat Emmie=fat feet. I have quite large feet anyway, being 5′10. Feet are not immune to getting fat! And extra weight=feet [...]
Reason #258 why I want to be skinny(er): Zebra Stripes
Tanning in the sun is bad. Tanning at the fake-n-bake is bad. Got it.
So I opt for sunless tanning in the wonderfulness that is the VersaSpa. Pretty easy process:

Put on hair net (zexy!)
Put on barrier lotion (so your hands and toes don’t turn orange)
