Thought for the Week
Look it's a theme: Body Image! I know how you love it when I do themes. You can call this a fallback post... As in "I didn't prepare anything for this week so enjoy this instead."Featured Concept for the Week: Health at Every Size
My grandmother was five foot nothing and an easy two hundred pounds. One thing she made sure to pass on to us was her genetic body composition disposition. Now I could starve myself and work out seven days a week in the hopes that I could lose five pounds or I could stay sane. I've chosen sanity, and this is the philosophy that Health at Every Size embraces. Basically, it goes something like this:
"Adjusting your lifestyle habits with an eye toward improving markers of well-being like reduced blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, reduced stress, increased energy and improved self-esteem — independent of any weight loss at all — is a far more desirable goal for people of all sizes to pursue."And for the record, I eat less now than I did back in the good old days when I only weighed 120.

Naked face project: Women try no-makeup experiment
- I practice this every day. Sleep is precious...
- Because you can only love yourself when we* say that you love yourself. Who is this "we"?
- We don't like your boobs either.
- Because Disney tried to pull a "If I was a poor fat kid." Well, maybe not poor; you are at Disney World after all.
- And don't have any form of disability either.
- Sometimes I like to play a game called "Justify Your Existence"...
