FAT LINKS (aka snausages)

[nycfem]

I thought I'd start a thread just for cool fat positive blogs or links. A central place to go for celebrating one's fat, political, badass self! Please include a description with the link unless you are feeling lazy.

Here is a fave of mine to start things off:

This is a blog by Marianne Kirby. The description reads:

I'm on a mission here to let you know that fat people are not your enemy. And skinny people aren't your enemy either.

Here, the body is a political one no matter its size or shape. We are going to unpack society's standards of beauty, the oppression of the dominant social paradigm when it comes to body conformity, and talk about clothes. Maybe even makeup. Because I do love makeup.

Here, I hope, we will come to a place of acceptance. Acceptance for our own bodies and for the bodies of others.

"A 2008 study, done by Harvard researchers, looked into the effects of physical activity and body mass index on coronary heart disease and found that overweight women who walked more than four hours a week had a significantly lower risk of heart disease than those who didn’t exercise. This says to me that the most important risk factor isn’t being fat; it’s being sedentary."
