About

I’m your hostess, Hot Mother. Well, I was truly that once, and plan to be again. Right now? Not so much. You see, I’m a fat mother now. Very fat. Technically, I fall into the category of morbidly obese, although (fortunately!) I have no health problems right now. Blood pressure and blood sugar are normal, and my cholesterol is a tad high but not terrible.

But, and it’s a big but (pun intended), I have a crappy family history that includes such fabulous things as Type II Diabetes, heart disease, early death due to heart disease and stroke… let’s just say it’s time to start treating this body with a bit of respect, yo.

I also have a fabulous (but also fat) husband, and he too is joining me on this little adventure we call “forgoing all culinary pleasure” (kidding!). Finally, I have 12-year-old son, who is most assuredly not fat. Quite the opposite, in fact: he’s thin. Scrawny, even. So at least I dodged that stereotype!

Why publicize this little undertaking of mine? Well, duh! I want a book deal! That’s why everyone is on the internets (tm Dubya), right?  Okay, I’m not really angling for a book deal (although I wouldn’t turn one down). I’m here on the information superhighway because I’m all about public accountability. And because I like to write. And because I like an audience (yep – I’m an attention whore).
