Flaunting Your Fat
Lizzo calls out ‘fat-shamers’ on TikTok: ‘I’m not working out to have your ideal body type’ F-FC Clipboard: If she wants added attention for her fat, she got it.

Even though I categorize this as the AFC ICE-CREAM DIET and although the ice-cream I ate and continue to eat now and then is animal-free, it is not a diet – at least not for me. I was excited about it primarily because I pretty much deny myself sweets and this was a way not […]

Taking Stock and Stocking up

Years ago when Steve and I combatted a severe toxic mold injury I took copper supplements. Before my doctor Zayat – a neurologist – even asked, I told him I was taking copper supplements.

CHANGE AND HABITS
People resist change because they instinctively know that when they change, and are tempted to return to the old way, and then do it, they will be tempted to go back to the new way. And they instinctively want to stay where they are. It’s the nature of animals to stay on a certain path. […]
