Some have simple goals, others complex. But in most cases, realistically, we will whittle down these goals (or should I say the dreaded “r” word?). Some will advance to new steps or even be checked off of our lists as complete, while others will be forgotten.

This blog tends to be one of the things that vacillate in my focus. It is certainly not because I don’t appreciate my readers, but it is more of a “life happens” situation. I hope to write more regularly here as I know there are several people that come to this blog for information.

Over the next few months I will work on updating the older information. The ever popular 101 Resources for Big and Tall Men will be worked on, as well as other popular features.

I hope to have more commentary on current events, such as 2012 Election information, medical findings and news in general.

In closing I wish all of the Big and Tall Shorts readers a happy 2012 and I hope you all find good health, prosperity and peace in the New Year.

I am in the trial test of Hulu Plus (still on the fence if I like it, although being about to see House and Kitchen Nightmares on demand is nice) and I wanted to see what kind of movies they had. I didn’t see any that I just had to see, but I came across one I had heard about in passing and I thought “why not?”

This movie features the attempt of a 310 pound Australian businessman Joe Cross to combat his chronic autoimmune disease called Chronic Urticaria. His plan to fight it was by changing to vegetarianism and in the process he lost weight through exercise. And to jump start the changeover, he only consumed juices that he juiced in his own machine.

Another part of the plan was that he was going to start this quest in the United States. The first 30 days he staying in New York City and days 31-60 he traveled across the US. The film features him meeting up with people in both NYC and around the US having them try his juice concoctions, asking if people knew or had tried fasting and converting some to try his fast (all under doctor supervision). The movie also features a man named Phil Staples who also suffers from Urticaria and is 429 pounds. Both men lose significant amounts of weight, with Cross losing 100 pounds and Staples losing over 200. They both were able to stop taking medication related to their condition (mostly steroids) after the program and their lifestyle changes. (Recent reports state that Cross is now around 230 pounds and Staples is around 250 pounds — this is expected due to the conversion to solid food.)

I enjoyed the movie. And it wasn’t the weight loss aspect. It was the defeating the disease part. As I have stated before, weight can be a hindrance to some diseases, and this seemed to be the case with these gentlemen. But I think the lifestyle change was more of a factor in beating back this disease and that the juicing and the exercise helped immensely.

I have always been a big proponent of juicing, mostly because my father did it for years and even went for days on juice fasts and he lived to the age of 81. I even went on a 50 day juice/water fast in 2004 and saw many benefits including a 96 pound drop in weight. I however did not go to the extremes of these men and I drank over the counter juices (albeit from a health food store).

My thoughts on this seem to be mixed as I know that diets tend to fail and that people lose and gain thousands of pounds in their lifetime trying to find “the perfect body”. But I don’t see harm in a lifestyle change. Changing to a vegetarian lifestyle and adding juicing and exercise to a person’s routine is great. And I dare say it is what HAES promotes (healthy living, not vegetarianism).

I also think that the documentary has blossomed into a marketing scheme for Cross, as his website named after the movie seems to be capitalizing on the movie by not only selling t-shirts, bags and DVDs, but juicers as well. I understand t-shirts and DVDs to an extent, but selling juicers seems to be a step too far. I don’t know if that takes away from the movie or the fact that Cross and others reversed chronic medical conditions. I guess that would be a choice for each viewer and website visitor to make.

So after all the considerations, I wonder, (and I have not read any of the Fatosphere’s take on this film), does the Size Acceptance community find this film to contradict the tenets of the movement? Or is the weight loss simply as side effect of the conversion to the new lifestyle? Feel free to answer this on the Big and Tall Shorts Facebook page.

After meeting with them, they advised that they were willing to work with me, but insurance and hospital procedures stand in the way. I have to provide them with the articles so they can get my insurance to approve, then they have to get the hospital to approve since it would be an “off label” treatment. They also said I needed to go to Lymphedema clinic to see what they could do. I had been to two already who stated that my legs were too big to wrap, so I was obviously skeptical.

This is a picture of my left leg. As you can see the Lymphedema is quite severe

But I must say, this therapist is actually trying to make it work, we are taking it a little at a time, starting with one on my lower legs and we will eventually move up, and then move to the other leg. We have started to process to get a Lymphedema pod which is best described as a sleeping bag that I insert both legs into and airbags inflate along both my legs to provide pressure and lymph massage.

Another interesting thing that was pointed out was that since I had no surgery or trauma to my legs, that this was actually genetic. I have been predisposed to this all my life. I guess if I had known, I could have tried to prevent it, usually exercise is the best way, but I had no idea and there isn’t a test to determine predisposition, unless someone else in your family has it the same way I got it.

I am also told that losing weight will help. Now, in the size acceptance community, I know this is taboo. But I have stated that sometimes doctors default to weight due to stereotypes, but sometimes they are right. All the evidence I have says they are right. I don’t know how much an effect this will have on me. I am a lap band patient, but I seem to be in a weight loss holding pattern for the last year and a half. Recurring Cellulitis attacks have made getting lap band fills near impossible, as my last attempt to fill resulted in the doctor deflating my band as I could not swallow. I have yet to go back as I fear another attack.

Another shot of my left leg from the side.

I will be looking into HAES a bit more aggressively to see what I can apply to increase my chances of a speedier recovery and continued health. Sometimes you have to suck it up, and in my case, I have to or live with a painful condition that just sucks the quality of my life into a bottomless abyss.

I would like to apologize for my lack of posts over the last year. This disease takes a lot out of me physically and with other projects I am working on, this unfortunately got pushed to the side a bit. I hope to post more frequently soon.

Also, you should all know that this marks my 100th blog post. Thank you for continuing to read it as I do check the numbers all the time and I see you keep coming back. Thank you so much.

So now that we have working definitions, why am I focusing on hope? Well, I have heard this comment of a number of occasions and it begs to be asked of anyone in the fat acceptance (I specifically use “fat” instead of “size” as this is not a height based comment) movement: Have we given up hope?

Now this may send all sorts of red flags up in FA circles. But it is a criticism that the movement gets. I hear it all the time “The Fat Acceptance movement are people that are too lazy to lose the weight and have just given up hope,” or “People that are into Fat Acceptance have just given up on life.”
Harsh as these comments seem, do they have any validity? In the American culture, everyone seems challenged to improve themselves. Keeping a weight within a certain range (whether it is aesthetic or for medical reasons) is a measure of perceived success. For example, going up to a person as saying “you look particularly fat today” would be an insult, but “have you been losing weight?” may not be.
So I can see the point to a certain extent. If I stop losing weight, I have stopped striving to be my best and therefore have given up on myself and as a result, I have given up all hope of every being “normal” (whatever that means).
But then there is also the old adage, the definition of insanity is to try the same thing repeatedly and expect a different result. So are people who constantly trying to lose weight and not succeeding insane? That argument could be valid.
Personally, I think that in most cases, if a fat person, FA advocate or not, could be a “normal” size, they would choose to be. Not because of vanity, but so they can go into a business and sit in a normal chair, but clothes that fit without paying premium charges, or fly on an airplane without buying two seats. I mean, if you were deemed “abnormal” wouldn’t you want to be “normal”?
So once again, have we who advocate fat acceptance given up hope? As for me, no, I have not. I think that I just have a different type of hope. I hope that I will be accepted for who I am.

Now if you are a child of the 90’s, images of Stuart Smalley may dance around in your head saying “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone It, people like me!” And it is indisputable that that is certainly a form of self affirmation. I think it’s sad that it was mocked on Saturday Night Live in the 90’s by (now) Senator Al Franken, as I think it made those who needed to do exercises like this think that they were silly.
Among the tools in my arsenal is the “Self Affirmation Mirror”. It is a mirror that I keep hidden, but I pull it out when I need it. It is also a mirror I have given as a gift to some close friends that suffer from Depression. It is simply a mirror with self affirmation statements written on it. So when the person looks in the mirror, their (positive) qualities are literally written all over their face.
But I have another tool. A universal tool. Music. There are two more modern songs out there that I think are simply fantastic for self affirmation. The first was written by Linda Perry (the lead singer of 4 Non Blondes) and made famous by Christina Aguilera. The song, as you may have guessed is “Beautiful”. As I am not much of a listener of today’s pop music, it took a while for me to come across it. I actually first heard another version of it, which incidentally is my favorite on the television show “House”. It was performed by musical genius Declan Patrick MacManus, better known to the world as Elvis Costello. Take a listen…

The other song was by a very talented young lady who generally brings forth an uncorked angst in her music. Songs like “Get The Party Started”, “Stupid Girls”, and “So What” are just a few of Alecia Beth Moore’s songs that I really liked. But the performer know to the world over as Pink belted out an amazing song that despite the language (and a video scene depicting self-mutilation) is just an awesome song, as a matter of fact, it’s ”Fucking Perfect”. I like Pink for a number of reasons. She seems like she is very self assured and very ready to take on the world, but there is a fragile undertone about her. I don’t know if it’s her music or her need to change her hair color or what, but she is a very talented artist. I invite you to view her video (radio friendly version) for yourself (please do not watch this if you feel if will trigger any type of self-harm feelings. You can click this link to listen without seeing the actual video—the non-radio friendly version—and still get to hear the song and see the words).

When I need to be picked up, these are just two of the songs I listen to. Sometimes I need to sit in a depressed state for a while to drain it from me. It’s kind of a way to just make myself tired of being sad. I listen to old songs, from artist like Hank Williams Sr., Barry Manilow, Leonard Cohen and some Johnny Cash. A varied mix to say the least, but it gets me though whatever funk I am in.
So, whatever coping skills you use, remember, they are important. Write, draw, self affirm, volunteer, see your therapist, and if you are on meds, keep up with them! And above all, remember to keep being beautiful, because you are fucking perfect.

In the Size Acceptance movement, we ask for the world to accept us as we are. We are fat. We are tall. We are short. But we are human. We sleep, we breathe, we dream. As does every other human. But we look different. We may move slower, or have to duck entering a doorway, or need a step stool to reach something. And unfortunately our visual perceptions are the primary gateway to romance.
But the problem with someone who is depressed or someone who has body issues or someone who has both is that they have issues accepting themselves. In that case, they constantly ask themselves “If I cannot accept me, how can others?” I know I struggle with it every day and as a result my dance card is rarely full as I suffer from both. It’s been that way since 3rd grade when I ask a girl to be my girlfriend. One of these pre-adolescent traumas that wound up in not only the rejection, but getting in a fight with an older boy and ridiculed.
It sounds odd right? The director of the online community the Universal Network for Size Acceptance has body issues. Well it’s true, and I think that actually helps me in my role as an advocate. I know the pain others feel and I have the give of being able to vociferate it.
From personal experience, the pressure of asking a woman on a date is mind boggling. My anxiety shoots through the roof, my pulse and heartbeat races like a NASCAR driver trying to win the Daytona 500 and those are the good parts.

And the new technology makes it even worse. It used to be, I would have to call or see someone in person to ask them out. I could tell from visual or auditory cues whether I would have a good shot at a date, but now, there’s text, email, Facebook, IM and a plethora of other electronic mediums in which to socialize and now you have to sort through emoticons LOLs, LMAOs, ROTFLMAOs, etc. It’s enough to make me want to move to a cave on the side of a mountain and become a hermit.
Then there is the whole, I like you, but I like you as a friend. Well I like you as a friend too. I always felt a relationship has more of a solid footing when built on friendship, but once the “f” word is used, I know that’s pretty much the death of the idea of dating.
And if I am lucky enough to get the date, I was always told that for the first few dates put your best foot forward. I don’t know what that means. Does it mean lie? Or fib? Or does it mean be yourself? Hell. 90% of the time, I can’t even get up to bat to ask the girl out, now I’ve got to figure out the best part of me and put it on display? And how do you do that when your body image sucks?
I know I am not the only one out there. Heck, several women I know that I wanted to ask out in my youth stated to me that they wish I would have asked them out back then. Why, I have no idea. I guess I am better online than I am in person. When I finally get the chance to actually date a woman, I mentally crawl into that hermit cave.
I just don’t know.

For woman, I know there are self-image issues, but from my observations (and I know someone will dispute me, but these are MY observations) women with self-image issues tend to try to date the wrong guys and seem more susceptible to scams and ruses men try to play (and please understand, I know that my LGBT friends have issues too, but I have no experience with dating in those circles, so I cannot speak intelligently on the subject). I see friends, women who I wanted to date, women I have loved from afar fall into these horrible relationships where all they are doing is praying for their own death because they are so afraid to leave of have been so brainwashed into believing they love they guy that it literally sickens me.
But I digress. I’m 39, single and my self-image is poor because of my weight and depression. I am fighting though it and maybe it will pay off, maybe it won’t time will tell. But I encourage all of you to believe in yourself and believe in love. I’m half way there; maybe I can make it the rest of the way.

Earlier today, I was talking to a female friend of mine and I was told that I have habits of an “old woman” when it comes to what we called in the 80’s as home economics. This made me a bit unnerved to say the least. But the more I thought about it the funnier it seemed.

First of all, as anyone that ever lived with me can tell you, household cleaning and chores was never a priority or for that matter a necessity. I am by nature a messy person and I generally do not care. As of late, that has changed a bit and I have found myself amassing the skills that I was taught and observed over my lifetime.
Second, I don’t think that knowing or displaying household management skills is a gender issue. It may have been 75 years ago, but in this age, with the large amount of single households or even single parent households, I think these skills are vital in getting through the week.
And thirdly, I think in our fast paced, fast food, low tolerance for anything that takes time life, we are losing a lot of these skills and simply do whatever is more convenient.
For example, the issue that came up today. My friends daughter had a hooded sweat jacket in which the drawstring got pulled out so that it only came out of one side. My friend was ready to donate this jacket to a clothing drive (which I by no means think is a bad idea if it didn’t fit). But she had only bought it a month ago. To me, that is waste. She thought she would have to pay more to fix it than to get a new one. My solution was to use a safety pin and coax the string out of the other side so both end of the drawstring were available. It took 3 minutes and saved $30. I was called and old woman for my efforts. This was in jest of course, and it was appreciated, but it wasn’t the first time I had a household skill mocked as “un-genderly”
I learned a few things from my mom, like how to iron and sew. I still suck at both. I learned a lot from an ex-roommate and best friend for life named Randy. He taught me how to housekeep “Texas style”

Here are a few things Randy taught me:
Always stack dishes, cups, etc upside down in the cabinets. You do this for two reasons; to keep dust from getting on them and to prevent bugs from going across them. In the college house we lived in, this was absolutely necessary.
Hanging clothes in the bathroom while you take a hot shower helps remove wrinkles.
When ironing, use heavy starch on the collars, around the buttons and (if long sleeved) cuffs of a shirt. Just use water on the rest and iron it out.
Throw leftovers out after 3 days (I grew up in a house of 7, so leftovers were rarely an issue).
How to use a dishwasher. I never had one until I lived with Randy and of course, I tried to use regular dish soap in it. The quote from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory came to mind “Bubbles, bubbles everywhere, but not a drop to drink.”
Vinegar cleans a lot of stuff.
Bleach is great for cleaning glass jars (we used to make Sun Tea, which he also taught me).

I learned a lot more as life went on. For instance, you should store batteries no in use in the freezer to keep them fresh. Putting a cap full of olive oil (or any vegetable oil) in a pot of boiling water will keep pasta from sticking. Drier sheets can be used twice. Once they have been used in the drier, you can wash them with the next load and the softener is still viable. The value of double stick Velcro in keeping up with remote controls. And much, much more.
I never saw any of these as a “gender” role, but as keys to keep everything working smoothly. So I guess if I live like an “old woman” then people ought to get used to it, because I am not going to change.

After reading the release, I was intrigued and requested an interview, which Mr. Steadham graciously accepted.

Allen Steadham Interview

Big and Tall Shorts (B&TS): What is Size Acceptance 365? Is it a diet or weight loss program?

Allen Steadham (AS): In a word, no. To elaborate, Size Acceptance 365 (or SA365) is the opposite. It is about embracing our lives at the size (both weight and height) we happen to be. Moreover, it’s about becoming examples of size acceptance (SA) to others by living SA every day.

B&TS: How did you come up with the concept?

AS: Over the years, I’ve seen different people’s ideas about size acceptance cause insulation and fragmentation of the size acceptance movement. Things have either become overly political. There’s a divide between the social elements and the advocacy elements of the movement, and it’s difficult (though not impossible) for various organizations and groups to work together.

So, in short, a movement divided is a weakened movement. That’s not to say there haven’t been great strides, as there have — but we could do much more if we worked together more. I wanted to create a vehicle to focus on something we all say we agree on: living size acceptance from day to day, teaching it to others by example more than just words. I don’t expect this to cure all ills, but to be part of solution towards assisting the greater whole.

B&TS: How does one participate?

AS: There’s a few ways thus far. The easiest is probably to visit the SA365 Facebook page and LIKE it. Another way is to link to either the main SA365 webpage (both links are listed below) with one of the provided banner graphics . But I want people to also come up with personalized, individual ways of expressing size acceptance towards themselves and others. Everyone is different and different approaches impact people in different ways. The more we unite as a movement, incorporating many ideas and philosophies, the more people we can reach and help.

B&TS: In your press release, it discusses exercise and healthy choices as well as using HAES. How are these concepts all incorporated?

AS: For starters, SA365 encourages general fitness for the sake of fitness, not weight loss. So if taking a walk or a swim or riding a recumbent bicycle works for you and makes you feel better and raises your energy level, that’s great! There isn’t a single approach because people have different needs. Likewise, while making healthy food choices is a personal decision, I hope for us to provide some recipes and cooking methods which may be helpful. And once those are available, I hope to hear from others what healthy food choices they have made; what worked for them and what didn’t.

B&TS: It was reported in the news (not too long ago) that a recent survey of women from the United Kingdom who were “overweight” feel they suffer some sort of weight related humiliation at least 5 times a day. With this in mind, are there mental wellness aspects to SA365?

AS: Of course. Self acceptance is one of the greatest challenges of the movement, and it is completely tied to mental wellness. And beyond self acceptance is acceptance of others.

B&TS: The audience of Big and Tall Shorts is not only based on weight but height (both short and tall). In your press release you mention that SA365 allows a person “to become an example to others concerning size (weight or height) acceptance.” The size acceptance community traditionally focuses on weight issues. What information will this program have for people of below or above average height?

AS: It will take time to develop and cultivate existing resources concerning height but it is an attainable goal. For too long, the movement, including ISAA, has expressed the desire to include height in size acceptance. However, due to differing goals within the movement, not much progress has occurred yet…but now is a good time for that to change.

B&TS: Looking at the site for SA 365 and the Facebook page there is an introduction and promotional tools, what information can we look forward to seeing there?

AS: Banner images and initial suggestions as well as a discussion board. This is a long-term effort. We will have to find out together what works and what doesn’t. But we will develop educational information, recipes and exercise tips and recommendations.

You can look forward to seeing SA365 expand over this year and beyond. As the discussion forum on the Facebook page develops and we find more ways to encourage others, people will begin to come up with their own innovative ways to share SA365 with others and the whole process will evolve with the changing circumstances. SA365 is designed to be adaptable for the long haul.

B&TS: What impact do you hope to make with SA 365?

AS: In the short run, SA365 can cultivate new innovation inside and outside of the SA Movement. In the long run, SA365 can help unite elements of the size acceptance movement and use that to reach more people with size acceptance than ever before.

B&TS: What other comments can you provide regarding SA365?

AS: SA365 is not ISAA-specific, although ISAA is participating in SA365. It is open to any person, group or organization. There are only two circumstances in which a person, group or organization would find themselves disavowed of SA365: if they break the law in their efforts or if their efforts are not size acceptance (feederism, weight loss, etc.).

Size Acceptance 365 Press Release

Here was the original release that we referred to in the interview:

Posted By: Allen Steadham

To: Members in International Size Acceptance Association

New Year, New Activities!
It’s a new year and it’s time for some changes! Without Measure (WOM) Beta is finally going out of Beta; it’s becoming WOM 365. The url is still the same: http://womeasure.wordpress.com/

And yes, this is in association with another important change: Size Acceptance 365!

Size Acceptance 365, or SA365 for short, is quite literally about creatively expressing the need and value in improving your own quality of life from day to day, and becoming an example to others concerning size (weight or height) acceptance. SA365 embraces the concept of health at every size, including fitness and making healthy food choices.

The very nature of size acceptance means to reach beyond the numbers on a scale or a shirt or dress size, to find ways to be healthy without embracing failed methods such as weight loss dieting, drugs or surgery. SA365 does not exclude those who have dieted, lost weight or undergone procedures such as surgery but it does not endorse those methods. SA365 starts today and looks forward to the future.

While SA365 is a concept created by myself, Allen Steadham, the Founder and Director of the International Size Acceptance Association, it is not ISAA-exclusive. ISAA is not sponsoring SA365, only participating and hosting the SA365 webpage at http://www.sa365.info

SA365 is open to all people, organizations and groups. It is not limited to the size acceptance movement or size activists. SA365 does not exclude anyone unless their planned activity or participation is either illegal or blatantly against size acceptance (such as feederism or dieting/weight loss).

2011 looks to be an interesting year!

Best Wishes,
Allen Steadham
Director ISAA

So Size Acceptance 365 is a work in progress, but it has a direction and a chance for everyone to participate by contributing as Mr. Steadham suggests. At Big and Tall Shorts, we will keep you updated on information regarding SA 365. To contribute of become part of SA 365, visit the links below.

On one final note, I would like to thank Allen Steadham for him time and participation in this interview.

You will see a lot of cross linking of Huge Comfort on this site and vice versa. Huge Comfort is primarily designed to feature information, products and services, whereas this site is a blog that will have lifestyle and advocacy posts.

I invite you to visit Huge Comfort and tell you friends. There will be new posts all the time, so keep going back.

Huge Comfort was started in its original form in 2008. It originally featured a few products that large people could find useful as well as links to advocacy and other sites. In October, the site was pulled down and revamped and on January 1, 2011, it re-launched in its current form.

Huge Comfort as well as Big and Tall Shorts are always looking for link exchanges from reputable, size friendly sites as well as suggestions. For link exchange offers, suggestions or comments, you can contact us at fourthcircleenterprises@gmail.com.

After a few years if searching however, I have found an option. It is called Tripology. I have to admit, I never really thought of using a travel agent to help with my trips. I always thought that travel agents were for rich people of people who did a lot of travel. I am neither. But one day in my search for new content, I came across Tripology and started checking out their website. I have to say I was not only impressed, but intrigued.

Tripology is not a discount fare site like Hotels.com or Expedia. Tripology is a travel agent matching service. They find travel agents based on your needs and then connect you, usually giving you more than one option in case the first one (or even the second one) doesn’t work out. But they are more than just that. They are an advocate for why you should use a travel agent over an online booking service. The site had many features that I found interesting. Among them was the articles and blogs they have. One article in particular “101 Reasons to Use A Travel Agent” (and we all know how much I love lists with 101 of anything!). In this article a few of the reasons they put on there just made sense, especially in my case. These reasons included:

• Consumer Advocate – If you should have a problem during your trip, travel agents can act on your behalf to see that proper restitutions are made.
• Expert Guidance – Travel agents are experts in helping travelers get where they need to go and in helping to create possibilities most people never would have dreamed were possible.
• Less Stress – Planning a trip can be stressful. There are so many options and details to worry about. Travel agents do the work, resulting in less stress for you.
• You Know How to Reach Them When You Need Them – Problems at the airport? Reservation issues at the hotel? Your travel agent is a phone call away from getting your problem solved.
• Using Clout in Impossible Situations – Whether it is airline seats, cruise reservations, or overbooked activities travel experts have more buying power than the average consumer.
• Altering Your Travel Arrangements – If you have already booked your trip but want to change some details your travel agency can help get all the necessary steps done, leaving you without the headache and confusion.

So after reading through the site, I decided to contact them and explain some of the issues that are encountered by big and tall people and they were very responsive. I further explained what I did and who I was and we worked out a plan. As a result, I am happy to announce that there is a partnership between Tripology and this site to help people with special travel needs due to size. Tripology and I have set up a special site to help you address your special needs when traveling. This site was originally set up for people with disabilities and other special needs but it will now service people of size as well.

So now you can plan your vacations, business trips, convention trips (remember, you can plan you whole trip to the 2011 NAAFA convention in Washington, DC or the 2011 Tall Clubs International Convention in Seattle, Washington through this site!).

So I invite you to click on the banner below and start taking advantage of the special partnership that Tripology and I have worked out!
