I've retired the mom blog (mom's historic warm, fuzzy affirmations are still available in the archives (posts labeled 'mom blog' and, for the best of those, 'classic')). I enjoyed the years of fat talk and running commentary on my hair and personality as much as you did, but mom moved on and so must the blog.

No, they're the ones that must be stopped
Last week I blogged about the advantages of business travel: in-house gyms and in-room irons and ironing boards. There was also, on my last trip, a lot of something I like least: being in lobbies and lounges that run cable news shows, and CNN these days is no better than Fox-- I was exposed to some Lou Dobbs (any amount is too much). It's not that I can't listen to people with whom I disagree, although the issue here goes beyond disagreement to distortion of facts and exploitation of fear; it's that listening to these people makes me physically ill. It turns out, I am not alone.
