This Is Why I Stand Naked In Front Of The Mirror

September 26, 2017 by Alexandria Durrell 2 Comments

Sometimes I stand naked in front of my full-length mirror and take stock of what my 41-year-old body looks like.

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.

Test of Humanity

May 8, 2013 by Amanda 3 Comments

Being the fat kid sucks. I was overweight from the age of 8 - 15 and it was brutal. All my friends had boyfriends, but I didn't. Gym class was agonizing.

Fight or Flight

November 29, 2010 by Amanda

I am feeling torn about how I should be treating my body. Do I need to love it exactly as it is, in all its rippled glory, or should I be pushing it to be something it's not?I am actually feeling pretty good about myself these days, so this isn't a post riddled with self-loathing and whining about … [Read more...]
