This might seem a little off topic, but bear with me… You can’t have missed the furore over Angelina Jolie’s decision to have a double mastectomy in order to avoid the chance of developing the breast cancer which killed her beloved mother. Whether you think having such radical surgery is going too far or a [...]
Now that the sun’s out, I’ve been feeling way more inclined to move my ample bottom off of the sofa and out into the fresh air, and I’ve gone and dome something very brave (or spectacularly stupid, whatever your point of view.) I’ve signed up to take part in the Shine London Marathon in September. [...]
Fatshionistas are big news at the moment, with the most recent photo shoot for the new Clements Ribiero capsule collection for Evans making it into the Daily Mail (where it attracted the usual ill-informed rants) and beautiful plus size model Justine Legault gracing the front cover of ELLE Quebec this month. Personally, I think that [...]
Are you kicking yourself about being pear-shaped? Annoyed that you can’t seem to shift that extra weight on the tops of your legs and thighs, and have trouble finding jeans and trousers that fit, let alone flatter? Well, stop beating yourself up and don’t worry about punishing yourself with another diet or even a ‘target [...]
Just when I was wondering what I could write about for this week’s blog post, along comes another article from Samantha ‘I’m so beautiful’ Brick to get me all fired up. Thanks Sam!

How good does it feel to see the sun again? Weather forecasters are predicting temperatures not just in double figures but actually around 20 degrees next week. That’s right, 20 degrees.

One thing that crops up a lot for plus sized women (and yes, that would be me) is what on earth do you do when the lovely man of your dreams pops that big question? Of course, because he’s a lovely man, you say yes. You squeal with unbridled excitement. You tell your family and [...]
Happy Easter! With the odds of a white Easter being slashed further than they were for a white Christmas last year, we’re all feeling the cold at the moment. Just as well we have lovely things like Wingz to keep our poor, hard-done-by arms out of the cold for a little while longer. Perfect for [...]
Did you know it was International Day of Happiness on Wednesday? Maybe you didn’t because you’re normally quite a happy kind of girl anyway, or maybe you were in far too much of a grump to notice any silly ‘National Day’. Either way, it’s quite a new concept, International Day of Happiness. It made me [...]
Is it hypocritical to want to lose weight if you’re a plus size positive advocate? It’s something I’ve wrestled with but I’m coming out of the closet now and admitting it – yes, I’d like to get a bit slimmer. Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely no desire to be thin. I mentioned in [...]
