I just heard on TV that Shirley Temple has died.
Here she is in one of my favorite movies of hers, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm:
You and Mr. Bojangles are now tap dancing together again in Heaven.
It's been a long, strange trip so far on this journey to sanity and weight loss, which I'm finding out are mutually exclusive goals.

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!
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!
