Question: If my spouse told me he isn’t “as attracted to me since I’ve put on weight b/c he doesn’t like the body type I have” and we only have sex once a month or so (so like very little intimacy) and he shies away from physical affection and I can’t get passed this lack [...]

When I was a teenager I spend a lot of my time needing someone who would tell me to put down the carrot sticks, women’s magazines, and just love myself, exactly as I was. I was the kind of girl who hungrily consumed anything that would fall in under the category of “thinspiration.” I tried [...]

Marzipanlings, today I would like to share with you an amazing letter that I received, written by a mother to her daughter’s eating disorder. So often we become so consumed with discussing how disordered eating affects the individual, that we forget the impact that our struggles have on our loved ones and family members. I [...]

Hi from New Zealand! Just found your blog today, really enjoying it! I’ve struggled with body image all my life, I’m now in my early 30s and have a baby daughter, and I’m realising I need to be very careful not to inadvertantly pass my negative vibes on to her. We naturally tell her she’d [...]

Man, oh man. I’ve been feeling like a sucky blog mommy this week. It’s hot. I’m tired. I’m too bored to do anything but watch SVU and Friday Night Lights on megavideo. I’ve been working my ass off finishing my financial aid, and if you’ve never seen the line at the Vieques post office you [...]

Dear Marzipan, I’m about to become a 25 year old virgin who has never been in a real relationship. And I feel like the biggest failure. Sex isn’t something I take casually because I’m a very vulnerable person (aren’t we all at the core?).
