BALTIMORE, MD, but I'm a divorced mom who doesn't go out much. Still -- hello! If you see me walking along the waterfront at sunrise, please give me the secret BT handshake. Which I assume involves butter or jelly.
I was at the AVAM the other day with my daughter and one of the large metal sculptures reminded me of something in a book I'd recently read. Which took me a few moments (more than a few, truthfully, post-menopause brain) to recall that it was in Prom Mom, and I explained to my daughter that you work at the AVAM. It was a beautiful moment of what I call "book serendipity" and thought I'd share. Thanks for that!!
Well that just makes my day. Strangely, I had finished Prom Mom before I applied to be a docent at AVAM, but I have long loved (and collected) visionary art. Just one of the best places in Baltimore.
At the risk of being earnest — the pandemic/the end of my marriage happened to align with me discovering Virginia’s work and the work of many others, including Aubrey Gordon. And it was mind-altering/life-changing. Still baby-stepping my way from the personal journey to being a better ally/activist and I have a ways to go, but I’d rather be honest about my shortcomings than self-congratulatory/hubristic. [Writes, then deletes self-congratulatory anecdote.]
Oh thanks! Would love to connect! I usually do the groups in the Fall and/or Winter. Summer gets too hot :-). You can follow me on instagram (I always post about it when the groups open up).
Or feel free to email me and I can always send you an email when the group opens up, if you'd be interested at that point. Maria@forwardmotioncounselinglcsw.com

MERCER COUNTY, NJ (willing to travel)! I'm a HAES-aligned ED therapist, but I'm also getting PUMPED to host IRL (non-clinical) fat-joy-centered weekend retreats in the next year here in NJ. More details to come as we get underway, but I'm so happy to meet up casually with any of ya'll locally in the meantime!
We have some great stuff going on in Philly! Follow @phillyfatcon and @phillyplusswap. I am one of the founders of Philly FatCon and I created the Philly Plus Swap - a HUGE clothing swap, only for plus sizes.
I'm in north jersey (Montclair) and also a new mom so not likely to travel much soon but i wanted to say hi as I'm also a therapist (though not focused on ED - I work for an org serving survivors of gender based violence though and there is a fair amount of overlap as i'm sure you can imagine!)
Ok - I did the thing! First retreat is June 7-9 in North NJ! www.fatjoyjubilee.com (still hoping to get lots of other less formalized meet ups going with all of you, as well!)
I'm in Asheville, NC, lead retreats, and teach body-inclusive Movement Medicine classes (in-person and online!) I'd love to create a space for folks to move and get stronger without all the body shaming BS
Hi Sadie- I am a registered dietitian (and certified yoga instructor) and live in Wilmington, NC. I see clients all across NC, via telehealth, and thus, would love to chat more about how we can support one another! My company is Renew Nutrition Therapy. <3
Yay this is so exciting! I just put together a quick google form to get some contact info and general availability/locations (is that ok, Virginia?) so we can start trying to coordinate something!
For folks in the DC area, @plushdmv does fat community events including a plus size clothing swap coming up in April. And @bodyliberationbaltimore does body lib meetups in Maryland 💞 including a soon to be announced karaoke night.
There's a Facebook group that is fabulous for advice about HAES doctors and all manner of other things called DMV Fat-Positive Community. There's also a Fat Girls Hiking - DMV group on FB, but I haven't yet been able to align my schedule to join any of their activities (which are on the less frequent side).
KENOSHA WI in the no-man’s land between Milwaukee and Chicago, so would be interested in meeting anyone from around here. Glad to see other Wisconsinites, even though Madison and Appleton and La Crosse are really too far for casual hanging out.
Hi from San Antonio, TX! Entirely by accident when looking for a new doctor, I found a HAES provider here and it's been so awesome to FINALLY not feel judged and shamed!
Richmond area people, check out https://www.instagram.com/rvafatties/. I'm not from the area and haven't been to an event but was researching groups as my in laws live there and I was curious.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA! Land of tech vests and incessant jogging! Seriously everyone is thin. 7 year old kid. I’d love to find people in the city to hang with.
Not sure the easiest way to communicate between all the Bay Area folks! I’m on Insta @nerdalert19 and use FB Messenger? Open to ideas! I’m happy to ditch my kid! 😂
Check out @makingwavesfatswim on Instagram. It’s in the East Bay but might be worth a trip over the bridge. There’s also a Bay Area fat hiking group that does events all over.
My only social media is (here and) LinkedIn. Maybe we plan a meetup and start a text thread when we’re IRL? I’ll propose Sunday April 7 at the Botanical Garden in GG Park (Free for SF residents). Anyone interested?
This is a great idea! We’re headed to Pismo Beach for SFUSD spring break that day, unfortunately!! If y’all get together let me know and add me to the group chat please!
Not sure the easiest way to communicate between all the Bay Area folks! I’m on Insta @nerdalert19 and use FB Messenger? Open to ideas! I like dogs and I’m happy to ditch my kid! 😂
We had this same issue in another substack group, there isn't really a group chat function on here. Heather's idea might be the way to go - show up in person and then exchange emails/texts.
Hi!! I'm also in the city (Bernal Heights) and I have two little ones (5 years and 2 months). I would love to hang out either in the city or on the peninsula :)
Yay welcome (early!) A newborn! Hope you’re feeling ok and getting help. Not sure the easiest way to communicate between all the Bay Area folks! I’m on Insta @nerdalert19 and use FB Messenger? Open to ideas!
I’m in St Joe but always down for a metro meet up. Also, another podcast I listen to started a “chat group” for people with similar interests. I would totally love a BT text chain.

Ok, Triad folks - want to try to meet up? I’m going to suggest The Brewer’s Kettle, as it’s fabulous and about halfway between Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Maybe next Sunday, April 7, at 3?(happy to take other suggestions). https://maps.app.goo.gl/u3W5d5vUk66Pw1HSA?g_st=ic
Greensboro too!
Hi! I’m Greensboro too!
Durham here too! Totally interested if someone organizes something as I'm always looking for fat community.
Hi Ms P and NC people - I am a registered dietitian (and certified yoga instructor) and live in Wilmington, NC. I see clients all across NC, via telehealth, and thus, would love to chat more about how we can support one another! My company is Renew Nutrition Therapy. <3
I am in Durham, too!!
Nearby in Greenville!
