We Need To Stop Giving Plus Size Women Backhanded Compliments

August 30, 2017 by Heather Jones 2 Comments

“I love her, she’s so great—but I’m really worried about her. She needs to lose weight.” These are the typical comments I read on any article or post featuring an overweight woman. And those are the kind ones. When Bridgett Everett comically hopped onto Jimmy Fallon’s desk earlier this month, … [Read more...]

Getting Disney Tattoos After 40 Says Nothing About My Parenting Skills

August 11, 2017 by Alexandria Durrell 1 Comment

Yes, those are my legs, and no, those aren’t old tattoos. I’m 42 years old, and my amazing friend Karen Awesom is the artist behind each of those Disney tattoos that I’ve had done in the last 18 months. I think they’re beautiful, and there are parts of each of those characters I love so much, I … [Read more...]

My Kids’ Brutal Honesty Is Killing My Self-Esteem

July 26, 2017 by Heather Jones 2 Comments

“Your hair is turning really grey, that means you’re getting old.” Awesome. Thanks for that keen observation, son. Can I get some ice for that burn? I have come to the conclusion that kids either don’t have a concept of self-esteem or really don’t give a shit about your feelings. I taught … [Read more...]

My Doctor’s Refusal To Give Me Liposuction Was A Blessing In Disguise

July 7, 2017 by Scarlett Ballantyne Leave a Comment

I have always been a little bit self-conscious of my belly fat, even though I am someone that would be considered of normal weight. Even in my late teens, I had a small belly-paunch that I was concerned about. Looking back now, I didn’t appreciate the fact that I was pretty thin at less than 120 … [Read more...]

Barbie’s New Body-Positive Makeover Was Two Years In The Making

January 28, 2016 by Marianne Litman 2 Comments

It’s hard for me to think of my childhood without Barbie in it. My sister and I shared the old-school pink plastic Barbie Dream House; we had a huge Tupperware tub full of different Barbies and their many outfits; I used to go over to my friends’ houses just to play with our Barbie dolls. I even … [Read more...]

Three Times Shorts Shopping Was Exactly Like Mean Girls

May 27, 2015 by Alison Tedford 6 Comments

“Get in, loser, we're going shopping!” It’s that time of year again. It’s the time of year when I remember none of my shorts fit properly and my kid is almost old enough to be embarrassed by that. So, with a great deal of reluctance, I venture out into the universe in search of stuff that covers my … [Read more...]

#Mombod Takes Over The Internet

May 13, 2015 by Tanya Cruz Leave a Comment

Last week, it was all about the dad bod -- the online trend praising men with realistic bodies types. The dad bod is used to describe men who are relatively fit but with some extra weight around their midsection. Think Leonardo DiCaprio, Seth Rogen and Chris Pratt (pre Guardians of the Galaxy, of … [Read more...]

Why I’m Not Trying To Get My Pre-Baby Body Back

April 29, 2015 by Alison Tedford 27 Comments

"You know those things where you squish them and they are gushy and the stuff squeezes out through the other side of your hand? It feels like that!" my son said gleefully. What on earth was he talking about? Oh yes, that would be my belly. What does mommy's belly feel like? He was trying to describe … [Read more...]

January 15, 2015 by Kath 4 Comments

What did you resolve to do differently in 2015? Were you like the 38% of Americans surveyed in a 2014 study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology who listed weight loss as their number one goal?

October 10, 2014 by Tanya Cruz Leave a Comment

Yes everyone, the rumours are true — Jennifer Garner has a baby bump! But no, she's definitely not pregnant.
