Jeanette DePattie - The Fat Chick

Back in June 2013 I posted a video of hers, saying I wanted to keep it here so I don't lose it in the future. Well, that one disappeared, anyway. (sigh) Let's try again.


 

Here she is on Katie Couric's show in December 2013 talking about why one shouldn't stop living until they reach some arbitrary weight goal.

 

Her New Year's Eve message about weight cycling. In this video she also announces some programs she's starting up in 2014.

And a call to make exercise a regular part of your life:

 

And don't forget her exercise DVD


 

and book on exercising at any size, both called The Fat Chick Works Out!

Invisible Illness Awareness Week

I never knew anything like this existed!
http://invisibleillnessweek.com/

Aside from his fading scar, my husband's coronary artery disease is invisible. My CFS is invisible, as is my hypothyroid, hypoglycemia, partial deafness, asthma, and degenerative disc disease and other arthritis and neuritis problems. And now that my labwork is showing I have an autoimmune disease, add that to the list.


I think I'll be spending a lot of time on that web site the next few days.

"No Longer Defensible" Post from Fat and Not Afraid Blog

This blog gets better each time I read it! Be sure to read the comments, too.

“No Longer Defensible”

June 25, 2013
 
 I don’t think there is a person who is connected to the wider world somehow (e.g., internet, evening news, newspapers) who doesn’t know that the AMA declared obesity a disease this week.  Many Fat Acceptance bloggers have written about it.
In the same week that this is happening, Time Magazine posted an online article about, well, about a sort of Fat Acceptance.  Oh, they didn’t call it that, but that’s what it was.

Jeanette DePattie (The Fat Chick) In the Mainstream Media


This is mostly here so I can find it again in the future, since I have a bad habit of losing videos I want to do repeat watchings of. Enjoy!

Mister Rogers YouTube Mash-Up



My son may have hated the show but I loved it and still catch an episode now and then if I see it listed.

I Miss Richard Simmons

 The voice, the hair, the outfits, that laugh - I miss every single thing about that glitzy, ditsy, outrageous person. Oh, yes, his workouts...
