Hello, my name is Jessica. I'm 28 and living in San Francisco (as if you couldn't tell from my screen name :lol: ). I go to school part time and work part-time as a graphic artist for a non-profit. I'm a total geek when it comes to sci-fi, fantasy, video games and drawing. I'm a perfectionist but I can also have a weird sense of humor sometimes. :mrgreen:

I'm a long time reader of The F Word who has only recently gotten into the size-acceptance mode of thinking. It's a bit harder for me since I also have to deal with PCOS. I simply started realized that for all the things I have tried to deal with my condition physically that not only was it not working (diets, medicine, stuff like that) but also I was neglecting myself in terms of self-esteem and self-image. It was costing me potential jobs, making me act nastier than I really am out of frustration and general enjoyment of life.

So I decided to start over. No more diets and forget about any weight loss (unfortunately I can't stop taking the medicine). It's a very slow process but I'm working on it. In the meantime thank you for this blog and this message board Rachel.

Welcome to the board :) I was a graphic designer too before I turned a journalist. We'd love to see some of your designs in the Creative Corner forum.

Hey girl! Glad to see another scifi/fantasy fan. I'd love to chat about anything of interest with you. Thanks also for your comments to my introduction. We're all in this together and I'm sure can all use the support of one another.
