Welcome to The Pudgy Diabetic, a size-positive and fat-friendly blog about diabetes. I will post food reviews, recipes, fat rants, critiques about sizism in the medical community, my personal diabetic journey, and so much more.
My need for this blog started quite recently. After decades of inner conflict, pain, exploration and work to feel proud of my size, my curves, my fat body, I finally had to face what sizist medical professionals had been warning me about my entire life: diabetes. I have been struggling to find neutral ground between what feels like opposing viewpoints and needs - a diet that is, at times, restrictive and rather reminiscent of the many self-imposed diets I'd experienced in the past when I didn't accept my size, and a commitment to continue to love and honor my size, my curves, my fat body.
This blog is my retort! It is my corner of the world in which to celebrate my body, love delicious food, and rant about fat-hating meanies.
Love and cupcakes,
Darla Devour
