    An Amazing weekend I participated in last December is having another round and this time I'm determined to let as many people as I can know about it! The Power Off Weekend is organised by Malcolm Handoll from the Orkney Islands, who along with his wife, does his best to live as ecologically as possible. The idea behind the weekend is to turn off your electric (11pm on a Friday ) and leave it off until 11pm on the Sunday. A whole 48 hrs without TV, internet, radio, lights, fridge, electric cookers and heaters....what will you do?  Read more >

    I am a vegan. Well I'm a lot of things but its one of the many tags I've attached to myself over the years. Now I am normally the easy going vegan. I'm not the sort to explain in graphic detail the life and death of your chicken sandwich over lunch. Nor will I refuse to eat with meat eaters, criticise their eating habits or push my own beliefs on others. Until today......  Read more >

    So this is Fatty. No letter today because I have been thinking things through. I have found a peace in writing to myself and in reading the comments from all of you. BlogHer is one of the most welcoming places I have found online. Full of support and wisdom. I'm not ashamed of Fatty. But now I want to "come out" as me.  Read more >

    Dearest Fatty, There's someone else in this little manage et trois we havent talked about yet isn't there. I know your embarrassed and its a relationship filled with loathing and and fear. You feel love and hate depending on how your being treated but its not anyone else's fault is it?  The BATHROOM SCALES. (du du DUUUUUUUUUH!)  Read more >

          Dearest Fatty, Its a conundrum isn’t it. Trying to find the line between loosing weight and feeling happy in your skin. A feeling that you aren’t allowed to be a card carrying feminist and still want to slimmer, as though the desire is frivolous and to admit you want to look better is a sin along the lines of wearing a corset under your 1950’s prom style dress while your red lips grimace through the pain.  Read more >

  6. A situation where you wondered about hospital ethics???

    I have never worked in a hospital BUT I had three pre-term babies and so spent a good chunk of time in Special care baby units in England and Scotland. The first time I came across a situation where I wondered about the "miracle" of modern medicine was with my 3rd child. He was in hospital for 7 weeks and needed intervention a few times, but his prognosis was good and he's now a healthy intelligent 6 year old.  Read more >

    Dearest Fatty, Its hard to feel like your not part of "the gang" isn't it. You have often used groups, tribes and movements of people to hide your problems behind, but its never quite worked out well has it. You became vegetarian and dropped weight in your teens, but piled it all back on within a year. You became vegan and again lost weight (yes yes I KNOW its not the reason you became Vegan..can I continue?), but that didn't last long either.  Read more >

    Dearest Fatty, Your dinner parties are amazing. You know this I know this, your guests know this. I see you sitting at the table and smiling while your guests gush about the meal you've made and pile their plates for seconds and ask for recipes. I also know you can't understand why you have slim friends who can eat two (or like Saturday, even THREE) helpings, plus wine PLUS dessert and yet they are not fat. You eat your meal and really one helping was enough.  Read more >

    Dearest Fatty, Today I am proud of you. Today you stood up for yourself. For breakfast this morning you cooked up eggs and seeded rolls for you and your husband to enjoy a late (10am) breakfast. The you worked hard all morning spring cleaning until around 1pm when your husband poked his head around the door. "You Making any lunch?" He asks. Now Mr Fatty is not.  Read more >

    Dearest Fatty, It seems strange to have corresponded with you a few times now but to have still avoided the major issue.  Read more >
