Stop the hate, people! There’s so much hate in the world, do we really have to tear each other down over how we perceive each others’ bodies?
4. Crystal Renn is a size 10, and Manolo for the Big Girl is over it.
There’s nothing wrong with being a size 10. She’s had a tough row to hoe body-image wise and if that’s where her body is happy then far be it from me to complain.
But she’s a size 10.
That’s not plus-sized, that’s not close to plus-sized and even though I am the biggest fashion industry apologist on the planet, I just can’t pretend that she counts as a plus-sized model in any meaningful sense and therefore she deserves no more and no less press or attention than any other model who doesn’t wear plus-size clothes.
I’m a big proponent for variety and I’d rather see a size 10 model as a staple than a size 20 as a gimmick every few years, but the days of breathlessly reporting on her every move as a victory for fat girl kind –inasmuch as I ever have– are over.
5. Via The F Word, celebrities who have struggled with eating disorders include Felicity Huffman, Elton John, Kate Winslet, Victoria Beckham, and Snooki.
For years she denied the rumors that she had an eating disorder, but Calista Flockhart finally admitted to her problem with anorexia. “I started under-eating, over-exercising, pushing myself too hard and brutalizing my immune system. I guess I just didn’t find time to eat.” Even though the actress hasn’t gained much noticeable weight she ensures, “I am much more healthy these days.”
I recently read Kathy Griffin’s Official Book Club Selection, where she talked frankly about her binge eating, her husband’s binge eating, and going to Overeaters Anonymous—as well as the botched liposuction that nearly killed her.

As you may or may not have noticed, it’s been a while! This is probably the longest unplanned hiatus since this blog began. But if you follow me on Twitter or various other types of social media, you know that a dear friend of mine recently passed away. Between traveling for the funeral, grieving, illness, and schoolwork, I had to put BFD on the back burner for a bit.
Thanks to the snowball effect, I also haven’t been reading or answering my email as diligently as usual. If you’ve sent me something that requires a response, and it’s not too late for that response, it would be great if you would re-send it! It may take me a while to dig through my email and catch up, and I’d hate to miss anything urgent.
I also went through and screened something like 200 backlogged comments a couple of days ago. If you had a comment held in moderation, it should be up now. And if I deleted your comment by mistake, or approved something trolly or spammy, please let me know! I did speed through them pretty quickly. You can find the newest comments on the comments RSS feed.
I am also faced with the daunting task of catching up on everything I missed in the world of Fat News. I haven’t been reading the Fatosphere or anything like that, so if there is a Big Huge Topic that needs to be discussed, please assume I don’t know anything about it and shoot me a Tweet, an email, or a comment letting me know!
I was actually going to segue this into a real post, but this got longer than I thought it would. (That’s what she said.) I missed you, my blog friends! Look for more posts soon.

We’ve spoken a lot about Health At Any Size, the myth of the fat lazy person and why BMI is bogus so it does my heart good to see an official stamp of approval from the government. Check it: “…We can be healthy and fit at any size or any weight.”
While Dr. Benjamin isn’t coming right out as a fat advocate, she definitely takes a shot at the media for its doom and gloom finger pointing at the fat rampage so-called obesity epidemic. The winds of change are blowing, BFDivas and BFDudes!
