I decided to start Axis of Fat because I really wanted to develop and encourage Australian voices in the fat-o-sphere, and I am so passionate about creating a community of people so we can connect with each other on some of the more local issues surrounding Fat Acceptance. In the future, there might well be a small stable of writers behind the Axis, but we want to be able to interact with other Australian fat bloggers as well to develop community and create a supportive network. To that end, I need to figure out just who is out there blogging about fat!
I would like to connect with blogs that focus on Fat Acceptance and not weight loss. This includes Health at Every Size blogs too! My inconclusive list follows – I may have forgotten some blogs, so please jump in and suggest bloggers you are aware of in the comments!
- No More Mumus – written by our own Sonya
- Corpulent
- Fat Lot of Good
- Random Quorum
- Fat-o-matic
- Fatadelic
- Fat Heffalump
- Fat Feminist Foodie
As the Australian fat-o-sphere grows (it’s inevitable, and awesome!) I will keep updating this entry. It might even be useful to make it sticky by putting a link to it up on the sidebar. If you’ve got any other suggestions as to how to strengthen our small but passionate community, please let us know!
On my personal blog I wrote an entry entitled “How to love yourself in 8 really hard steps” which included HAES principles. Linda Bacon commented on my entry, and suggested that I pledge to the HAES Community – but I’d actually already done it a few weeks earlier! I would love to encourage Australian bloggers, readers and commenters to also sign the pledge. If you don’t know much about HAES, there’s lots of resources on the site!
