This is the excitement phase. The FUCK YOU I love my body, and I don’t give a shit what you say phase. The growth spurt phase. The glorious after-effect of realizing that there is a better way to live phase. In short, this is the time where you have made the decision to love your body, have worked [...]
Now, let me just preface this by saying, no I do not think that I am the most awesome person on the internet. However, I make a serious habit of closely watching those people (internet-famous AND little known), and thinking generally about how to not suck on the internet. That would have been my favorite [...]

Dearest darling Marzipanlings – tonight is the night! The ever fabulous Rosie Molinary is hosting a self-acceptance tweetchat this evening at 8 PM EST. Remember Rosie? I interviewed her about writing and self-love last fall, and she returned in the spring with the AMAZING guest post – Body Image Work That Can Change Everything. What [...]
I am notoriously late on just about EVERYTHING – Seriously though did you see my tweets this week? Planking? Owling? I might as well be a 102 years old. Long story short, I know that lots and lots of people have already seen this video. But it is the end of a long, hard, not-so-fun [...]
