There are a number of fat organizations, groups and clubs. They can be found locally, nationally and internationally. Some are strictly political/activist others are almost entirely social. Most have an online presence many also have various opportunities for real world meetings. The Internet in particular provides many new opportunities for fat people to find a comfortable place in the world, to feel good about themselves, and to get together socially.
In the Puget Sound area there are a wide variety of fat groups. Unfortunately, there are not presently many that I feel comfortable directly promoting. While there are still individuals that I met in these groups with whom I am friends; the community as a whole has become very dysfunctional. The links below make up a far shorter list than once was available here.
The link above will take you to a listing of all the events currently planned for the fat communities across the Northwest
and Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
SeaFATtle is a local group that is more activist based than other local groups. They have put on a number of events including the local events of the annual International No Diet Day. They are a great group with an email list and an in depth website that has a number of helpful resources.
