“I mustache you a question!”(Trigger warning: Mentions weight loss, GI disorders)Really though, I felt okay at the moment this was taken despite having a GI condition that makes it harder to lose weight or digest food properly. It also causes severe abdominal pain and heavy bloating. Lately, I’ve been trying out food elimination to help my doctor (and myself) figure out what is causing the underlying problem and it’s been very blah. It kind of blows when you are told you have to eliminate something so expansive such as dairy or all gluten containing products. Even worse when you find out that some of the gluten-free and dairy free products contain soy, which you also might be reactive to. It tends to severely reduce the …

This year, but particularly this week, I’ve made some huge strides with my body positivity. I’ve always struggled with self-image. I was always a larger kid, I’ve actively thought about my body and it’s weight since first grade when my teacher weighed us and measured our height to show us how much we changed at the end of the year. People have pointed out my weight. It’s been a source of embarrassment for me throughout my childhood. The thought of working somewhere with a predetermined uniform scares me, because I’m afraid they won’t have my size. I will avoid walking through a pathway of chairs so I don’t bump anyone. I’ll avoid going to the doctor because I don’t want to see the scale or be …

Hey, it’s this Tumblog again! I took a really long absence from Tumblr due to moving and some personal feelings toward a large chunk of the Internet (the culture at least). However, I am happy to have found this one again, because it was really fantastic as it celebrated all body types, not just a small margin.I’ve been feeling more myself by dressing how I want, even if that means I get looks from people who wonder what the fuck I’m doing. I actually met a wonderful person where I currently live who inspired me to return to this style of dress, even if it isn’t for everyone and even if I am older than most of the people who might otherwise dress in a similar …

Acupuncture for Anxiety
Tweet So, lemme start this post by proclaiming: I AM THE BIGGEST CYNIC/SKEPTIC OF ALL TIME And I tried acupuncture for the first time this week, really driven by my latest struggle with anxiety and insomnia, which was totally interrupting my personal and work life. It went something like this: Monday “Yeah, okay, I’ll try it.” Tuesday “SHIT, what did I get myself into.” Wednesday “OH SHIT, I forgot about my appointment so let me Uber my ass there in the 2 minutes I have before my appointment time.” Thursday **Do Not Disturb Under Blankets All Day** Friday “Yeah, okay, I’ll do this again.” Honestly, it’s not something that’s delivering like revolutionary effects – yet…
Root to Rise This Spring
Tweet I’m so excited to be partnering with Bottom Line Yoga (BLY) for this blog post! Not only is BLY the place where I practice yoga, but it’s become a loving, supportive community for me, too. This spring, BLY is highlighting different blog posts along the theme of “Root to Rise.” While I am not trained as a yoga teacher, and sometimes yoga terms can be confusing to me, “root to rise” is an idea I feel a deep connection with. Basically, you are creating a solid foundation with a pose, or with your practice as a whole, and allowing growth from there. I like to apply the idea of “root to rise” with any goal setting in my life &#…

A Sensitive Girl’s Story of Eating Disorder Recovery
Tweet I am an extremely empathic and sensitive woman. In fact, like 20 percent of our population, I possess the genetic trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person. This means my sensory neurons are more alert, and I experience the world at a higher frequency than others. As a child, these traits were scary for me. The world felt big and overwhelming and unsafe. It was as if the volume on life was turned up all the way, all time. I had all these big emotions and I didn’t know what to do with them, or how to articulate them. And when I was around other people, I didn’t just hear their voices- I heard their FEELINGS, screaming at me- relentlessly. But it seemed I “heard” things that…
The Problem with Glamour Magazine’s Plus-Size Issue (Proud2Bme)
Tweet This was originally published on Proud2Bme, an online community created by and for teens. Proud2Bme covers everything from fashion and beauty to news, culture, and entertainment—all with the goal of promoting positive body image and encouraging healthy attitudes about food and weight. By Kaitlin Irwin– Amy Schumer recently posted on social media about Glamour’s inclusion of her in their plus-size issue. She wrote that the magazine “put me in their plus size only issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn’t feel right to me. Young girls seeing my body type thinking this is plus size?” What do you think, readers? Is Amy in the right? Should Glamour have asked her permission? Is Amy plus-size? First of all, why…
Good Stress: The Best Routine-Killer
Tweet Life is crazy right now – the good kind. I have two jobs, both of which are going well and leaving me very fulfilled. I’m planning a wedding to the man of my dreams. I have so much going on… maybe, too much. I recently shared about how good stress is still stress, and as my life filled up with exciting, stressful, awesome things, I realized I was losing any sense of routine. The “busy” that I was so excited about was also becoming a burden as my self-care began falling to the wayside. I needed to do something drastic to ensure I was building in time to care for myself, to maintain healthy habits vital to managing my bipolar disorder and staying…
