This is a hypothetical scenario, but one that’s been going through my mind a lot recently: Let’s say that objectively you’re very overweight or perhaps obese (based on BMI or some other medical criteria, and not on extreme celebrity standards), and you’re in a loving long-term relationship...

I haven’t been true to my personal style in ages due to not finding (or, perhaps, not daring to wear?) clothes in my size that fit into my concept of what is fun to wear. Here’s a little outfit I whipped up on Polyvore that reflects the type of casual going-out ensemble I’d like to wear by... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (2) | Blog

Meet Champers! Champers is my new, champagne-colored bicycle. I haven’t owned a bicycle in over a dozen years, but I’ll be picking her up from the bike shop after work this evening and I’m totally stoked. I totally owe props to Anne at Body of Work for inspiring me to check out Electra’s... Read More »

I had a psychiatrist appointment yesterday that I was mega-anxious
about. My boyfriend, MC, came with me to my appointment for moral support, because it was
time for me to come clean with my doctor about how things have been the
last few months, and particularly in the last acutely difficult... Read More »

Do you have to beat the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon to consider yourself a runner? When can you say you officially meet the requirements?
In 2001, I ran 26.2 miles in Chicago at about a 12-mile-per-hour
pace. I had trained six long months in New York City for that day in

I have always been a chameleon, because part of me has always worried that the real me was nothing
worth developing or getting to know. She was just a scary, depressed
misfit. Everyone else seemed so cool, so interesting, so sure of
themselves. If they weren’t all particularly well-adjusted... Read More »

Today I’d like to give big props to a few of the weight-loss and
fitness success stories that prop me up when I’m feeling discouraged,
like I was this past week.
Lady Shanny
was one of my very first buddies here online, and she’s achieved
amazing success in the time I’ve “known”... Read More »

"Too Much Information" is a lesser-known Duran Duran song from the early 90s. It’s a song about capitalism, for sure, and excess, and consumerism,
and a constant bombardment of ads and images and sneaky bids for our
money. All of this is more relevant with every year that passes.

I have this fantasy of turning a small closet in our spare bedroom
into GoGo’s Fantasy Funhouse Closet. It would not contain high-end
designer pieces. Although Karl Lagerfeld is an insane misanthrope who I kind of love, despite myself.
It would probably, in fact, not house anything even... Read More »

Many sources tout the value of sharing your weight-loss journey with
others. From every corner, we hear that your friends and family can be
your biggest cheerleaders (not to mention your personal motivation),
applauding you as you make healthier choices at the grocery store and
