Posts I'm loving

On some of these (particularly the first two) you should really check out the comment sections as well. Because seriously. So much awesomeness. And only a small amount of anonymous assholery.
  1. Swistle's Casual Remarks: Brilliant description of how insidious and omnipresent fat bias is.
  2. Jonniker's Headlights Look Like Diamonds: Horrifying tales of rudeness, with many more in the comments.
  3. SoMi Speaks' Grasshopper: Nilsa is pregnant, and that is awesome. Also awesome: the way she broke the news to her mom.
  4. Imperfect's Our Latest DIY Project: Since we're on the topic of babies, Emily just had one, and he is beautiful, and also she kept her pregnancy a secret from her blog readers for nine months and this post is the big reveal. It's amazing.
  5. Rosalicious's Traditional Wedding Stuff We're Shunning and On the Traditional Side...: A lovely explanation of how Rosie and Kevin are designing their wedding to be exactly right for them.

    Thanks for the reading list. And for the idea to post links if I can't think of a post to write, ha! :-)

    Oh hi! Wow, you're so kind. I wish I could take credit for the idea of how to break it to my mom ... but, I saw it on the internet. Nevertheless, she didn't know what hit her and that's what counts!

    Swistle's post was incredible, and heart-breaking.

    My mother was always a very small woman - five feet one, and about 105, 110 lbs. But I can't remember her ever discussing weight in a negative way, or food for that matter. She was simply a very active person - who liked pizza.

    Still, somehow I grew up (I'm ashamed to say) thinking that whenever I gained a few lbs (sometimes I still feel that way - more shame) it was TERRIBLE, because being thin meant being beautiful.

    It's taken me a long time to realize how wrong that thought process is, and how sickening it is that SO MANY people are ignorant...and happy to be that way.

    I loved both Swis' and Jonniker's posts you linked to as well. The comments, as you said, are incredible on both!
