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?

SE, I wish I had some good fat blogs, but all I really have are my own stories of chub. I really joined this group because I think it's a fun and lighthearted way to be open about the body.

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.

Yoga pants are awesome! I wear mine for lounging around the house when it's cold.

And I love A-Line skirts for going out and about. I have waaaay too many of them.

Funny, I don't seem to read more diet blogs than fat blogs. Diet-Blog is one I read often.

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.

There are so many out there... I can't even track them all. I think right now my most favorite is the Elastic Waist.

It's science-related, and it's not necessarily a "fat blog", but Junkfood Science is one of my favorites for debunking common weight/health myths.

I love Junkfood Science, and I totally forgot to link to it. Thanks for reminding me.

I've got a page set up with a fair number of the fat blogs that i've been able to find: clicky.

The new Bust arrived in my mailbox yesterday (w/ cover girl Beth Ditto) and there's a small piece on websites that are fat-positive. 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.
