Fat Blogs

Weblogs or blogs can be found at every twist and turn as you surf the internet. Blogs offer an easy mode for people to express their opinions on any topic on a regular basis. Some are professional, some are a hobby. Some are controversial. Some are masterpieces. Some are advertising. Many have long been forgotten. All have one purpose -- connecting with a community.

Check out a few of my favourite size-friendly blogs. You'll probably see another ongoing theme. Some I visit often others are occasionally. Do I expect you to love them all? No, but I'm sure you'll find at least one you'll want to visit again.

Big Fat Blog This fat acceptance weblog challenges the media's outcry against the overweight and obese. It is maintained by Paul McAleer. It has been an excellent source for education and opinion for over five years and shows no signs of fading away. Lucky for us. You need to sign up to become a part of this community blog.

Feminist Reprise Or Amy's Brain Today. Amy is a "life-loving fat lesbian separatist feminist" whose blog is both entertaining and educational. She discusses everything from sexual abuse, women's rights through to cats.

Hugging & Chalking Rosabelle Magee talks openly about obesity, the media and the movement. She only blogs one or two times a month. Some of her posts are make me think and some make me wiggle in my chair.

Poundy or Pound This blog is written by author Wendy McClure and has been online for over five years as well. She started out discussing "body image, weight issues, and diet culture"; although it is less so these days it is still mildly amusing. She is the author of I'm Not the New Me.

The Pretty Pear It use to be Girly Blog for Fat and Fabulous Women. Colleen bought a new domain name that is easy to read and pretty to look at. She shares her views on books, fashion and life in general. Some of the posts just happen to be about weight issues. Here's one of my favourite posts - That's a Compliment? It's a little slow at the moment but check out the archives for her interesting dialogue.

Red # 3 This isn't just a fat conscious blog, it also deals with other issues in the work and in the writer's immediate vicinity. Brian only posts once or twice a month.

And for even more blogs be sure to check each of their blogrolls!
