Not more than 1/2 an hour after I returned home from a run on the very same street and [...]

End of the week round-up and answers to your frequently asked questions

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions and requests for updates, and rather than email everyone individually, I thought that perhaps once every couple of weeks I will compose a blog strictly to address those queries, names and details withheld.

Sir, this is an intervention… ( or, How to prevent a man-gina)

That’s it, I’ve had enough.
If you’ve been with me for a while, you will know that I rarely hesitate to go where angels fear to tread.

The rude things people say and do.

 I’m not fond of shopping.I will never be a woman who shops for ‘fun’, and I’m not into retail therapy, unlike most women I know. I go because I need something,not to browse, or window shop, or just for fun. For me, it’s not fun. There are so many other things I’d rather be doing.  Sometimes [...]

What Fat people Don’t like

Ok, Most of you know that I am a reformed fattie. At my largest, I was over 340 lbs. I woke up one day and started lugging my fat ass out the door to exercise, and stopped shoving shitty food into my face. No surgery, no pills, no fads, just eating  the proper portions and [...]
