FGG Girls Blog Roundup
Rarely does a week go by these days that I’m not cracking open my RSS feed to add yet another poignant, funny, inspiring or important blog (and often all of these at once) that I’ve just stumbled on, usually written by a girl just like many of us who’s struggling with weight, body image, and all those other murky feelings and circumstances we face every day.
I love finding them, but what I want to know is: with all these great blogs, how is it we still feel so alone with our fat girl issues?
So hey, let’s not. We’ve already got a growing FGG Girls Flickr group, and now we’re putting together a list of personal, FGG Girls blogs (we’ll do one for pros and resource blogs in the plus-size industry down the road). So if you’ve got a blog of your own that touches on those issues, or have a favorite daily read that does, share it here in comments. Once we’ve got a good collection going, we’ll make a directory here on the site so that anytime we’re feeling alone in trudging through our troubles, need a fresh perspective or even just a good laugh about it, we can come in and start clickin’.
I’ll start, with a new blog I stumbled on this week: Losing Little Pieces of Me
Your turn!
Hi, my blog is http://www.skinnyemmie.com about struggling to lose weight, live life to the fullest as a plus size gal and be more confident.
hi! my blog is http://karenbarleyjeff.blogspot.com/, however it has more to do with military life and family then womens issues.
Love your blog and concept. My blog http://chunkycurlz.blogspot.com/ is mainly focused on fashion, beauty and shopping for the plus size women. I also like to add other topics occasionally, to empower and make plus size women feel confident and comfortable about them selves. I would love and appreciate if you added my blog to your list. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for mentioning my blog in this post. How awesome! I can’t wait to see this list. I have a few daily reads already but I think a whole support community would be seriously beneficial to those of us struggling with managing a healthy lifestyle.
“how is it we still feel so alone with our fat girl issues?” I found this line really depressing. It is a strange phenomena; how with all our social networking we still feel isolated. Lord knows we know how to share how we’re feeling. Maybe the problem comes with the listening.
As for blog, my ego-centered plus size blog is http://www.plusshe.com
As for others I really like Frocks and Frou Frou – http://frocksandfroufrou.blogspot.com the blogger is adorable.
And Raven Girls Ramblings – http://ravengirlphotography.wordpress.com although it’s more of a blog for her photography business. I have at least 50 others but it would probably be rude to list them all. LOL
My blog isn’t a plus sized based blog, but I love ,y friend Lauren’s blog, which is! thepocketrocket.wordpress.com. She is too cute for words.
I blog at http://sohelpme.wordpress.com along with a girlfriend of mine. Our blog is a weight-loss/healthy living blog with a Christian perspective.
I also blog at http://sandwiched.wordpress.com about my family life, especially as a member of the Sandwich Generation taking care of my aging mom.
