I love when you guys ask me questions, and the thing I get asked for most is tips for flying while plus size. I’ve been a regular traveller all my life thanks to family living in different parts of the country, various jobs that have involved travel, and a general desire to see the world. I’ve flown with my body at all sizes, so for those of you who are worried about flying while fat, let me answer a few of your questions and put your mind at ease. View Post
Welcome to the last day of 2014. What does a fabulous fat babe such as myself wear on New Year’s Eve? Nothing so glam as you might expect.
I’ll be seeing the new year in quietly, catching a movie with my boys, enjoying a fun meal together and quite probably getting an early night. No wild parties, no big plans, just spending quality time with the people who matter the most. View Post
I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s resolutions, as once January has faded they seem to have faded along with it – leaving you with a 12 month gym membership that never gets used again (seriously, gyms must be creaming it off people who never actually go), a juicer that is relegated to the back of the cupboard, a to do list a mile long that never gets a second look or a stash of nictotine patches that you’ll never actually use. Do I sound a bit cynical? Yeah, I guess I am, and that’s because I don’t think that a lot of New Year’s resolutions are well thought out.
When you set a goal for yourself at any other time of the year, you come up with a plan about how you’re going to achieve it, in what timeframe and how you will measure that achievement. So why should a goal at this time of year be any different? Check out some of my tips below for approaching common New Year’s resolutions, get your pen and paper, write your plan down and stick it somewhere that you can see it every day! View Post
This is my body. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My body is my best friend. It is my life. I must love it as I must live my life. Without me, my body is useless. Without my body, I am useless…
I’ve heard a lot of talk this year about the lack of diversity in women’s bodies that are shown in the media. In fact, even within plus sizes, the models used to showcase plus size fashion are usually capped off around a size 14-16. Now, I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with those bodies, what I am saying is that it would be nice to see a bigger variety of body shapes and sizes, more body diversity. View Post
