The Fat Positive Lounge

nycfem · 05-26-2012, 12:26 PM

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

Please remember you are not "being bad" when you eat something with substance to it.

Don't assume that telling women they lost weight is a compliment.

Don't assume my or any woman's body is your business. E.G. "Are you pregnant?", "You don't look like a BBW to me," and the ever present, "Did you lose weight?"

From a feminist perspective, is it meaningful for women to spend our time together talking about what we ate in measurements throughout the day? Is there anything more meaningful that we could discuss?

Keep up the fat positivity and be fierce, my friends!

I had a wonderful Memorial Day with family and friends. My newly married nephew and his bride had a gathering on Sunday and like all good slovak parties, it was ripe with food. We are not timid eaters! LOL. No one ever apologizes for eating heartedly. My sister, who just had stumach surgery, could not eat, and she apologized for not being able to enjoy the food! What a twist for most parties!

I spent Monday working on my third draft of the business plan, submitted to BVR for my funding. I am so proud of it! It reads so well and is a well thought out, thoroughly researched proposal. It is a formality, for they are funding me, but it still had to be done correctly.

and today I put the utilities in my name! I will be able to open mid June! I feel as though I can reach my arm out and actually touch the Grand Opening!

I am loving this thread. I have shared parts of it in my group for the store. I thank you for the lovely images and articles!

Soft*Silver · 05-30-2012, 02:10 PM

The utilities are in my name for the store and I get the keys on Friday! I have teams of volunteers, customers from my shop and friends and family, coming on saturday and Sunday in shifts to help me move everything from one location to the next. We literally have to walk it up the sidewalk two stores! LOL. The store will be moved and I can finish ticketing and set up my displays and yes, yes, we can open by the 15th!

I am overwhelmed by my customers, who are keeping track of things via my FB group for the store. I have been asked what things I need for the store and they are all trying to figure out what they have to bring to me. The support that is being offered is not like any other I have witnessed before. And its not about me. Its about "us". They want to create a place that is sacred for "us", us wonderful plus sized, curvacious, ample bodied lovelies who have felt isolated and condemned as sojourners for so long...

I am really humbled by all of this...
