This blog is an attempt to bring a little humor to what is a very serious health concern.  The writings and posts are coming from someone who has struggled with weight and eating disorders for many years, so is not intended, truly, to laugh “at” those who are overweight, but “with” them. 

It is also not an attempt to garner sympathy or to force thin people to sympathize accept the “plight” of fat people, as if obesity is a handicap.  If you’re looking for a place to get information about the “rights” of the morbidly obese to death by chocolate, please look elsewhere.  This is a blog for people who have full lives, and a good sense of humor about things, but have been unable, for whatever reason to conquer the “fat monster.” 

Whether you have 30 pounds to lose or 300, perhaps you will find help in conquering your weight problem here, or perhaps you will simply find a group of people like yourself with the same daily stuggles.  Either way, we hope you’ll stay awhile, and leave with a smile.

Feel free to comment.  Humor is welcome, but disrespect to others is not.*
