I'm going to spare the universe my body acceptance rage, since most of you have heard it. But here, have some links.

Don't You Realize Fat Is Unhealthy?, a line by line dissection of the societal assumption that fat = death sentence. And, might I add, the assumption that it is appropriate for a doctor to pressure someone to have what is a dangerous and ultimately useless elective surgery.

I Am Carnie Wilson, a discussion of WLS and its failure, and how it has everything to do with policing women's bodies.

And finally, First Do No Harm, a blog dedicated to all the bullshit doctors pull on fat women in the name of "health".

Yes, there is a reason that I'm pissed about this. No, I'm not going to say what, because it's not my story to tell. Suffice to say, I hate doctors more every day.
