Obesity Timebomb: Fat people should speak for fat people!
http://obesitytimebomb.blogspot.com/2015/02/who-speaks-for-fat-people.html
Fat people should speak for fat people! Like many of us* who use the internet to say what we think, I get hate mail from time to time. The flavour of it varies – sometimes it's really vitriolic, other times it has this hurt and surprised quality – but the bottom line is always: SHUT UP! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK! I found this little comment in my spam folder:. Surely if you want to blog about obesity you should not be fat yourself sorry but it dont make sence". To your body and your life. It silence...

Obesity Timebomb: The jolly fat person makes the normals feel better
http://obesitytimebomb.blogspot.com/2015/02/i-need-you-to-be-happy-so-that-i-can.html
The jolly fat person makes the normals feel better. I thought: this is what oppression looks like. She wants to hear the funny stuff, the joy, which is an undeniable part of my life, but not the struggle. I suspected that she'd rather I hadn't mentioned that part so that she could carry on thinking that everything is fine. She didn't want to engage with my reality, even though she was pretending to do just that. Book learning can only take you so far. 8 February 2015 at 05:53. Who, what, why, where, when.

Obesity Timebomb: Fat, austerity, class and benefit sanctions
http://obesitytimebomb.blogspot.com/2015/07/fat-austerity-class-and-benefit.html
Fat, austerity, class and benefit sanctions. I've been looking for an excuse to write about Elaine Graham-Leigh's book, A Diet of Austerity: Class, Food and Climate Change. And this week's headlines about the government's plans to force fat people claiming benefits to "get treatment" have done the trick. The book is very good, by the way, you should get a copy. Full disclosure: I'm in it a bit. This brings me to A Diet of Austerity: Class, Food and Climate Change. 9 August 2015 at 19:44. See me in action.

Obesity Timebomb: SWAGGA: our residency begins
http://obesitytimebomb.blogspot.com/2015/06/swagga-week-is-here-at-last.html
SWAGGA: our residency begins. I have butterflies in my belly today and it's been hard to get off to sleep recently because my mind is full of dancing and things I need to remember. Tonight I will go over to The Yard Theatre for the technical rehearsal and tomorrow we'll have a dress rehearsal and opening night for our week's residency. This is what the work we've done so far has been building up to. Here are some of places where we've talked about SWAGGA:. Out in South London. Ok, so now it begins again.

Obesity Timebomb: Fat and the massage table
http://obesitytimebomb.blogspot.com/2015/06/body-fat-memory-and-massage-table.html
Fat and the massage table. I'm lying on a table on my front with my face poking through a hole. There's some plingy-plongy music that I drift in and out of. I feel warm and secure. Sabrina. I can't remember the number of times I've climbed on the table. It's different every time. I used to get scrubbed down by a burly woman at Ironmonger Row. I've been scoured with chocolate-smelling goo at the spa at Hershey. Blasted me underwater with a high-pressure hose. I don't discriminate, I like the variety.
