Finally, LIPEDEMA mentioned on a national talk show! Thank you The Doctors!
For so many years I’ve seen lipedema and/or lymphedema patients on talks shows about “obesity” and the host and doctor totally ignore giant legs and hips! This doctor GETS it!
Yes, lipedema patients will still have diseases because of our weight, carrying around extra weight is hard on the body.
I love Mikel’s attitude! I want to meet her when I’m in L.A. this October!

I’m a centerfold! Well close enough for me! A couple of months ago I had the honor of being asked to write an article for the new OAC Members Matter section of Your Weight Matters Magazine. Anyone who knows me in person knows I am not shy about telling my story, or any story really. However, I was unprepared for the emotional journey writing this article took me. The hardest challenge was editing down a focus, as I have been obese all my life, I have many stories to share. After talking through ideas with Kristy Kuna with OAC, we decided on the issue that really spurred my involvement with the Obesity Action Coalition: Weight Bias in the Workplace. Unfortunately, I have experienced weight bias in the workplace twice in my life, yet each time I have taken what at first was a negative experience and turned it into a positive outcome.
