Feel free to ask your most burning questions (about the blog, Lady Rose, dieting, health tips, meaning of life, etc.) – either with a comment or by email (thedietpulpit at aol dot com) and I’ll do my best to answer them (or plead the fifth!) 

Here’s a few of the questions that have been asked already.

What kind of blog is this any way? I like to think of it as a buffet of humor, tips, recipes, inspiration, and surprises. I have many interests and like to write about many different things, and rather then just cover one or two subject areas, I decided to take a broader approach and tie it all together with a sprinkle of humor and the underlying theme of GET HEALTHY!

I started out in May 2006 originally blogging on Incredible Shrinking Ladies which was my personal fatblogging journal, but as of April 1, 2007 I also started the Diet Pulpit and it took on a life of it’s own. By Oct. 2007 the Diet Pulpit blog moved to it’s very own domain, and combined both blogs into one awesome blog buffet.

Who are you? I’m the “famous” lady with F.A.T. Attitude. Just about everything you need to know about me is HERE. If I revealed to much more, I’d have to swear you to secrecy!

Are you always this happy? Most of time. It sure beats the heck out of the alternative. But it is a conscious desicion on my part to be happy! Sure I have my moments, sometimes hours, and even days when life just slams me over the head and leaves my body bloody in the street. But once the bleeding slows down, I just pick myself up, brush off the gravel and get back to enjoying life. It wasn’t always like that – I used to be depressed almost constantly, so I don’t mean to make light of it – but for me it truly was and is a conscious choice to drag myself (sometimes kicking and screaming) out of the downward spiral of gloom and doom and retrain myself to learn how to be happy and enjoy life.

Where do you come off giving out diet advice? You’re fat! **looks shocked** I am? Gee, thanks for pointing that out I hadn’t noticed. I am not giving out diet advice, well ok maybe I am. But my main message is to change your attitude, focus on health first, and I want to help folks stay motivated and inspired to change their lives for the better. If a few of the diet tips that I share that worked for me also helps others great! I don’t claim to be an expert, but I have decades of experience dieting and reading up on it so I feel I know what works for me by now and I’m just sharing that information with others.

Why are you blogging about all this stuff? Not sure, I just know I felt inspired to do it, so I went with the flow. I love making people smile, I enjoy connecting with folks and making new friends. I crawled up from the abyss of depression, stress, isolation, and obesity to find there was a wonderful world of sunshine and rainbows and I just felt I should let other folks know too and perhaps help them step out into the light! (Oh by the way – it’s not all sunshine, there are still rainy days and Mondays – but hey nothing is perfect.)

Are you nuts? The jury’s still out on that question. Perhaps one of the other staff members could better answer that one.

What’s with the silly hat? — really, you think it’s silly? Well, I suppose it is a little silly, but at least I’m not wearing the whole jester’s outfit with tights and everything! I saw the hat and just had to have it – it makes a statement and reinforces my motto: Don’t Be A Fool, Eat For Fuel!
