Excellent fat blogs

I am a huge fan of Manolo for the Big Girl. It's fat, sassy, and full of excellent advice and conversations. The Pretty Pear also focuses on style and has a sharp eye for sales.

Fat Rant is a wonderful collection of, er, fat rants. "Are You Healthy?" is a great starting post to get a sense of the style and greatness of this site.

I also like Big Fat Blog and Big Fat Deal, and Fat Doctor is witty, funny, and interesting.

So, whatcha got?

As far as clothing goes, I try to stay in my pjs as much as possible. When I'm not in pjs I wear yoga pants, stretchy and loose. If I have to dress up, I wear capris and a tunic, with pretty sandals. No name brands.; ▶ Reply to This

And I love A-Line skirts for going out and about. I have waaaay too many of them.; ▶ Reply to This

I was a fan of What Would Jacob Do, but he doesn't seem to be blogging much anymore.

I've spent a couple of hours poking around Shapely Prose and it seems like it could be an interesting read.; ▶ Reply to This

I don't have it with me now but I was familiar w/ all of them I think. I know BFD was on the list as were some other personal blogs.; ▶ Reply to This
