Health Affairs explores health policy issues of current concern in both domestic (US) and international spheres.

Neither of my references are from just any place on the net. Both are highly respected and are factual. Your opinion is not fact.....no disrespect intended.

On this matter, it’s best if we just agree to disagree! …And as you say; back to the fat positive talk.

I have to speak to this, as a person with their name on several published research studies. Kiwi is correct, or rather her cousin is. The system at large, in the United States and from what she said, in the UK and NZ IS driven by funding, not finding. Statistics can be contorted and distorted to fit any argument and unfortunately, that is typically the case.

He has asked several of the Doctors he works with, how the system ‘really works’ and not what is detailed on the internet.

Big whoopeee you are an author on published papers.............so am I.

This is NOT fat positive based and let's not derail this thread anymore.

ButchEire 03-20-2012 07:45 PM

I was simply responding to what you wrote. Yes, author of books, several thousand articles, published studies and a practicing psychotherapist. As a published researcher, you should also recognize just how contorted and manipulated the medical system is.
I'm done here, didn't need to derail, but I also don't like the idealism placed on any medical association.

It reeeeaaally depends on the style of 'em! The Shorthorns are easier to fit into tight spaces, :| but.....the Longhorns offer more in the way of durability... :D

...That is, unless you're talking about the Texas Longhorns; if so, what 'bout 'em? What assests do they have? ;) LOL!

Toughy 03-21-2012 09:55 AM

since I am puter ignorant and can't do it in this post...........

I uploaded a picture of a herd of longhorns on a friend of mines ranch outside Midland TX.

This afternoon at the Disabled Arts Studio, a new comer gave me a big hug as she was leaving. She told me she likes me because I’m soft, cuddly, laugh a lot and have a proper body. I had to fight back the tears…

*Hankie please...

I am not around any fat positive people that I know of per se, but I would say that now new roomies I have are not fat prejudiced. So this is a good start. I feel accepted, not judged on a daily basis. I am still working on feeling sexy at this weight, and liking how my body looks. Thank you all for the help, I really appreciate it.

You’re welcome! :) It makes a big difference (no pun intended, lol!) when we BBWs are accepted for who we are and not how others believe we should be, and we have the support of other BBWs.

It’s very positive that you are gently working on feeling sexy and liking how your body looks as a BBW is a very sensuous and seductive feeling from within. This radiates outwards and people will see you as a ray of sunshine!

I hope we see more of you in this thread. :)

I have not been around because My chrissy has hit his head and given himself a concussion. He is deathly afraid of hospitals and combined with his symptoms of personality change and confusion, I have been beside myself. No work was done on the store except for some forms I created while in the house watching and observing him so he didnt die on me.

Leigh 03-25-2012 12:52 AM

Hi everyone, just wanted to come in and say hi :)

It's great, isn't it? That phrase has been whirling around my head ever since the young Lady said it to me, lol!

Soft*Silver 03-27-2012 12:15 AM

ok today was a better day. Chrissy is himself again and I can relax. He wont go to a Dr damn him! He was traumatized as a youth by some Drs so he has cause for his anxiety but still....

my landlord broke the toilet in the store. (rolls eyes and laughs) of course he did! Little things that are driving me crazy!

I set up a 2 week time period to accept consignments. I had one women contact me, who is obviously very poor, and she told me how awful it was for someone her size to try to find clothes cheap in thrift stores. She is excited about my Helping Bin, where I am going to put harder worn clothes in there, for 25 cents to a $1, proceeds going to 4 different charities I will support locally. Its all she can afford she says to me.

I tell her, honey, introduce yourself when you come in, cuz I have some 50% off coupons for my store, that I will let YOU use on the Helping Bin clothes.

She squealed, she was so excited!

This store is going to be so good for my heart....

I LOVE this quote...but change "flaw" to something more positive.

Oooh! I musta missed this forum earlier. So glad I found it! :D

This fat chick today decided to get serious about checking something off her bucket list...eventually. I signed up for a 10K walk/run this summer! I will likely be walking it, but it's the first step towards participating in a triathalon *and* the STP bike series (It's a 200-mile bike ride between Seattle and Portland).

Am I crazy? Perhaps. But I'm sooo excited! :) :) :)

:stillheart:

Soft*Silver 03-29-2012 01:38 PM

I dropped by that gal's (the one I posted about just recently) home today and surprised her with an Easter outfit for free, out of my store. She cried and laughed and giggled as she tried it on....it looked so good on her, but her smile from ear to ear was the best thing on her...

Soft*Silver 03-29-2012 01:47 PM

I finally got it! He steamed my rugs and is putting in a whole new toilet and has moved most of his stuff out of there...thank heavens! LOL. Now I need to focus on moving in and this sign!

So the measurements are 90" long and 50" high for where this sign goes. Do not try to match colors. Do as you will for whatever you sign up for. I know Claybaby wants to do the letter BEAU. So the rest are up for grabs. Who else would like to do this? I will be posting this in the Scrapbook and crafting thread and would like to organize it there if thats ok with everyone. So please join me there if you would like to do this project for the ladies of my store!
