I have a set of original circa 1860 maps done by Hochstetter of the Indian Ocean (St. Paul, Nicobar islands etc.). Do you have any idea where I could purchase an original Auhland volcano map? Then, I would have all the maps associated with the Austrian frigate Novara.

Also I have no idea why I inserted the word "food" into "feminist blogs".

I have actually ended up telling some people it was for health reasons - ME involves heart trouble, the less strain on the heart the better, and the doctors agreed that the extra weight was probably messing with my hormones - but the truth is that I lost weight because I wanted to, and that was mainly about how I looked and how I felt in my body. It did occur to me at one point that being lighter would make it easier for people to push me around in the wheelchair, but I found that reason rather creepy, it was like buying into the idea of women starving themselves as a way of erasing their identities. And wheelchair access in Edinburgh is going to be terrible no matter what I weigh.<br /><br />Someone telling me I should be fat is no more acceptable that someone telling me I should be thin. If the weight I like to be at is within the healthy range, then there's no reason why anyone else should bother me about it, and usually not much excuse if it's outside the healthy range either (by which I mean not having a go at people who are somewhat overweight but doing fine, thank you, rather than rescuing people who are in imminent danger of death from starvation, which is obviously a completely different matter). I've noticed that the main people making sniffy comments about my losing weight have been the ones who've only known me for a few years and therefore met me when I was overweight. The one who knew me before, and I was at my current weight for most of my adult life, think I look perfectly normal, and can't believe me when I say that I've gained and lost three stone. For them, it's more about the image of me which they are used to than what is actually best for me.<br /><br />Hence setting up the feministweightloss.wordpress.com blog, though I have of course been shocking at actually keeping up writing for it. There are a few food feminist blogs discussing this out there in a sensible way, you'll be relieved to know. Can't remember them all, but I think I have all of the ones people suggested to me linked on my blog by now.<br /><br />I can see how the Fat Acceptance movement got built up the way it did, and I think that it's done great things in many ways, but I think that in some others it really has gone off the rails. I've run across a large number of women who were treated very nastily for admitting that yes, they actually wanted to lose weight, and told that there was no possible excuse for doing so except accidentally. (And for the last week I've been losing weight accidentally due to illness, and as I was already at the low end of the healthy range, I'm making an effort to stop this and hopefully put those couple of pounds back on, so the whole "accidental" thing doesn't really wash for me either.)<br /><br />Anyway, yay for WW going well, and I'm glad to hear that it has a better set-up that helps avoid the guilt trap. I'm also glad to see you blogging proudly about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863181760546780184.post-28715806562256034192012-08-29T23:06:03.471+01:002012-08-29T23:06:03.471+01:00I can't imagine a scenario where losing weight...I can't imagine a scenario where losing weight to help you feel better and become more mobile would make you a Bad Feminist.

Birmingham was always a nightmare. Edinburgh is better. <br /><br />Thing is, lifts are relatively inefficient ways of getting large numbers of people from one level to another, that's why all the original underground stations had their lifts removed and replace with escalators pretty soon after they were invented (Covent Garden being one of the few that didn't). <br /><br />Result is when lifts are available, they quickly get crowded and queues form. The answer is, if you need a lift, get assistance because that gets you the bloke with the swipe card to get into the lifts!
