FEAR IS FATTENING by Bethann Shannon
About a month ago I had a dream with the words spelled out as clear as day “Fear Is Fattening”…when I woke up I said to myself “ain’t that the truth!”…I also “Googled It” and found an article posted with the same title that had been written a round the same time as my dream…interesting!

Great article btw…
(Great minds think alike!)
FEEDING FEAR
So, my feeling about “Fear is Fattening” comes from the very real fear I am feeling now in my personal & professional life because I am in “limbo”…not sure where I’m going…not sure what the future holds for me…still really haven’t found my “home”…many things are “up in the air” right now…not solidified. ..kinda floating.
I find when change is in the air and when I’m really being faced with the unknown…fear grows & grows & grows! And I FEED IT! Fear makes me eat! Out of control eating!And I’m not hungry…I’m feeding the fear!
Hence…fear is fattening!
I want to now CLEAR THE FEAR, because it’s crazy how feeling fear in my life takes me to food! That is my goal, to “clear the fear” from every square inch of my body, mind & spirit…clear the fear on a cellular level! I believe if I deal with my fear issues, mostly imagined or just negative thinking…I’ll most likely eat less! I think the key is looking at the core of overeating…what is making me scared? Over eating is a symptom of being scared…that’s what I’m going to explore!
I decided to do a “FEAR” Art Installation for starters… I started making a series of paintings…some just words like; “FEAR IS FATTENING”, “MORE FEAR!”, “FEED THE FEAR”, “I EAT FEAR FOR BREAKFAST”, “Fear is a Billion Dollar Business”, “Clear The Fear” , etc, etc. Mixed in with random paintings & characters eating or not eating, maybe vomiting as a bulimic would… I think it will be a very cathartic piece for me to get out of my system! I think the more I dive into fear – the less fear I have…so, I’m diving into this fear piece full force (fearlessly!) and hopefully I’ll show it somewhere…but I’ll try not to worry about that because I’ll just eat more!
I will post pictures of my progress with this art installation…”FEAR”
QUESTION: Do you think you eat more when feeling fear?
Please share your stories!

THE SMILEY FACE POOP (tm) Based on a true story.
The Smiley Face Poop Paintings by Bethann Shannon
Um, yes….The Smiley Face Poop…
Well, there is a very funny story to The Smiley face Poop….Based on a true story! My Vera On The Verge character has a zine about it which I’ll post soon…
Vera and me felt that “smiley face poops” don’t happen everyday…so, it must be a sign! We ponder…Smiling shit…good sign or bad sign?
I say “Good Sign!”
Well, I can’t wait to share the zine because it is quite funny!
In the mean time, these smiley face poop paintings are available on my ETSY shop! They are very funny & cute! Great conversation piece & bathroom art!
These POOP paintings in particular are very special…made on antique wood & paper! They have an old fashioned feeling to them!
