A Fat Girl’s Doctor Daze

17. February 2010

Doctors. I’m not sure I know a single person who likes going to the doctor, but most of the people I know are more willing than I. “What happened?” They muse, “Why do you hate the doctor so much? You should just go and get it over with!”. It’s not one thing that just happened. [...]

Foods, Force Feminized!

5. February 2010

Since when did it happen that only women want to be healthier, eat healthier, care about their body and aspire to look or feel better in general by eating more good food and less junk food? But first, let me go off tangent here and say that actually there’s quite a lot of “diet food” that [...]

Pleasure in Food — finding a balance between yum and healthy

5. February 2010

I’ve rarely been a person to deny herself pleasure. I’ve done some things in my past that I am not proud of anymore, in pursuit of said pleasure. And by “pleasure” I’m not just talking about sex, lol. But sometimes it was about sex. Or food…..yeah a lot of it has been about food. Sometimes material [...]

Caring About Myself

Recently I talked about how I was trying to find my femme side again. When my husband finally read that post, he came to me with heartfelt tears in his eyes and said “You don’t know how long I’ve waited to see this happen”. Since the death of my father 12+ years ago, I was different. [...]

There have been so many posts about body image and body acceptance on Eden Café recently that I felt I should tell a story of my own – how my wife came to love her new body. When I was training to become a five-star sommelier, I leant that maturity was a virtue, not a vice; [...]

We Can’t Get No Satisfaction

I’ve never “struggled” with my weight in the traditional sense. I don’t know what it feels like to have someone call me “fat,” to tell me that I probably shouldn’t have that second piece of cake, or to be considered the “chubby friend.” I don’t know what it’s like to struggle with finding cute clothes [...]

I’ve always been one of those overweight kids. One of those that always wants to talk about how they were left out because of their weight. Well, they only talk about it because it’s true, and mostly because it really is something that most people aren’t aware of. I grew up looking pretty overweight. While I’ve [...]

Today’s Women and Body Issues

Today’s Women and Body Issues I have to wonder if anyone is truly happy with the way their body looks. It seems like every one of my friends has something they hate about their bodies. The list just goes on and on. Let’s just take a look at some of the issues we [...]

I wear a size 20. Depending on the brand and the style of the article of clothing, I might even wear a 22. At the age of 32 (and I’m usually told I don’t look a day over 25) I am not yet ready to dress like my grandmother. But the brick-and-mortar stores at my disposal [...]

Body Image: My Story

5. January 2010

The list of the things that I hate about my body is a long one. I have never once, in my entire life, been happy or accepting of my size or the flaws of my body. You’ll rarely see my legs in my Half-Naked Thursday contributions because, in addition to their size, I have numerous [...]

Body Acceptance

“Hey, who’s that girl over there? Do you see her? The chubby one with the big tits.” For years all I would hear were phrases like the above and I would want to hide in a hole. In today’s society body image is almost an obsession. There are photos of teeny tiny [...]

Loving My New Body

4. January 2010

Throughout high school I thought I was sexy. I had some minor body insecurities, but I knew that I was hot. My summers were spent sweating through various dance and band camps. My falls were spent twirling flags and running all over the football field during the halftime shows. All of that exercise kept my [...]

Regaining my Femme

As a little kid I can remember being quite the tomboy. I disliked Barbie Dolls. I preferred my toy guns and make-believe horses to baby dolls and playing dress-up. I can remember being just as dirty as a boy, with just as poor hygiene habits. Shameful, but true. Eventually peer pressure and friends ahead of [...]

We Don’t Have a Mental Immune System

19. October 2009

EdenCafe has hosted a number of articles on the body-image issue. In these, women (and one or two brave men) have shared their lifelong struggles with, mostly, weight issues. While musing on these articles I’ve read about, I thought of a recent, completely unrelated event. Just a couple weeks ago, my mother and I (I still [...]

The Myth Of The Porno Penis

15. October 2009

12 Comments

According to Wikipedia the average penis size is approximately 5.1 to 5.9 inches in length when fully erect, but according to any of the porn I’ve watched the average size is somewhere closer to the size of my forearm. Since I do not regularly go around comparing my fully erect penis against the other males in [...]
