The fat nutritionist in hiding.
Since becoming involved in size acceptance, somewhere back around the end of 2000, I’ve had a series of comings-out.
I first had to tell my husband and family I was quitting my diet, and all further weight loss attempts. That was a little hard, since I’d been such a devoted and obnoxiously voceriferous dieter (I’m [...]

Accepting the unacceptable.
This summer has been hard for me. I’m not going to lie.
I started it off by turning 30, which I was extremely excited about. I’m a bit sentimental when it comes to numbers, and I was doing the whole clean-slate-fresh-start thing in my head.

What’s all this, then?
It’s my blog about normal eating. You’re reading it.
So, I’m working on this thing I like to call my Unified Theory of Kicking Ass. What that means is, I’m reading and learning stuff about normal eating and nutrition and how people change their behaviour.
I have a pretty decent understanding of this stuff already, since [...]

Holier-than-thou, and getting holier.
So, I just read this editorial-slash-book-review, or whatever it’s supposed to be. The most striking thing, to me, is the writer’s use of moralizing, sin-a-licious language:
In theory, I’m a food libertarian and don’t believe the state should take responsibility for curbing individuals’ greed.” [Emphasis mine.]
And her…colourful…use of hyperbole, which wouldn’t be entirely out-of-place in the [...]
Dear Fat Nutritionist – You’re pretty good looking (for a girl.)
