A movie about women and weight. Lydia is an "overweight" sales clerk in a trendy home furnishings store, nearing 30. Though she is a member of a Fat Acceptance Group (a movement dedicated to fighting prejudice against "overweight" people), she is still struggling with complex feelings about her body and its place in the world. Darcy, an "underweight", recovering-anorexic real estate agent in her mid-20s, is struggling with the same issues from a very different perspective. Her attempt to join the Fat Acceptance Group (since she sees herself as fat) is quickly rejected – but it introduces her to Lydia. Lydia is initially wary of Darcy’s efforts to become friends, but Darcy’s hunger for emotional contact breaks through the wall of apparent differences and they begin an unexpected friendship. At the same time Lydia gets involved in a sexual relationship with Bob, an "overweight" man who joins her in walking for exercise early mornings at Venice beach. Stirred emotionally by this new romance and by her conflict with the Fat Acceptance Group, Lydia decides to ask her new friend for an unusual favor: she wants anorexia lessons. When Darcy lets Lydia inside her secret inner world, it forces both women to confront buried feelings about their bodies. Sexuality and fashion, anger and femininity, trust and fear, hunger and satisfaction: there are things that women can only talk about honestly with other women. But they never seem to find a way to do it. This is a movie about two …

Thank You/Eating in Public/Fat Acceptance?

The Big Girl — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 10:04:32 +0000

A big thank you to everyone who has written to me in the past few months! I also wanted to take this time to discuss why I no longer feel that accepting myself as being fat is helpful to me, and why I feel uncomfortable eating in public. As always, leave comments and let me know how you feel! Dialogue (either for or against my opinions) is totally welcome!

Gaining Comfort – Weight Insecurities – March 4th, 2010

The Big Girl — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 10:04:32 +0000

My name is Jessika (Jess-seek-a). This is my first video on my new channel sikaresult (Seek a result), dedicated to my opinions on weight, beauty, and acceptance. Though this subject does mean a lot to me, I am a very strong person who can pretty much deal with any bashing that the youtube common jerks will inevitably send in comments and messages. This video was actually based off of a letter I wrote while venting about how I have been made to feel, from time to time, by outside influences about my weight and my appearance. I believe that it is possible to be healthy at any weight, and this video is more of a showing of an insecurity that I’m sure anyone who has a weight "issue" has had at one point or another. I do love myself, and I can be happy as an overweight person. I believe in being physically active, and eating healthy — I am living proof that just because someone does those things, doesn’t automatically make them thin. Even if they do those things their whole life, they may never get do be thin. But they can be healthy. I believe in fat acceptance, BBW, thin acceptance, and inner beauty. Perhaps I will always be a girl with chub on her body, but I also know that I will always be healthy too.
