Fat to Finish Line - Running for all
I watched a documentary a few days ago called “fat to finish line”. And it was super inspiring for me because I have been attempting to get back into running. If you haven’t watched it I would encourage you to do so I think I watched it on Amazon or Netflix for free. As a larger runner it sometimes feels isolating. If…

NSV - Fat, Weight Loss and Amusement Parks: Expectations vs. Reality
My stomach sunk as history repeated itself. “Ma’am, can we have you move to another seat that can accommodate riders of a larger size?” I had been here before, you see, I have a complicated relationship with amusement park rides, fear, sickness, love, exhilaration, and shame all rolled into one complex emotion.

Down 40 lbs and Looking for Friends!
I am finally down 40 pounds! It's been a journey! I have 60 more to get to the 100 pound mark, which would put me in a healthy place, but most likely not my final resting point. My in real life friends and family are great, but haven't walked this road and don't really "get" what's helpful and what's not. Mostly the…
