Ok seriously... I want to be best friends with this woman, if for no other reason than every time I feel down about my appearance (which is a lot of the time), I can look at her and realize how narcissistically shallow I am and it will maybe inspire me to be a better person. You rock, Balpreet. Keep on embracing…

Ok well that's why I included my disclaimer. I will fully admit I can't speak for the whole world. However, in Canada we seem to have the same problems with complaints about outrageous tuition and the heavy student debt load, and I do think those complaints are somewhat unfounded.

You're right, I shouldn't generalize, and there are absolutely people like you. However, it is hard to not generalize when I see so much of it. I'm not exaggerating when I say 95% of the people (at least) that I know have student loans could do without them, and most of those people don't care nearly enough about…

Also agree.* There are so many ways to graduate debt-free that quite frankly I'm sick of hearing about the student debt load. Take a reduced course load and work more. Apply for the many scholarships and grants that go unclaimed every year. Work like hell in the summer instead of travelling abroad trying to save…

The whole idea Jennie Runk talks about in the modelling industry is absurd. Either lose weight and be a regular model or gain and be a plus model? What the hell was wrong with her natural weight? Clothes aren't made for people between a size 4-10?

Too bad no amount of positive ad campaigns would ever get me to shop at H&M. Good marketing does not make up for terrible quality clothing.

My big problem is I'm not healthy... I literally cannot find a happy medium between obsessive and just giving up. I literally have no motivation to do anything, I feel like crap all the time, I can't stop gaining weight, and I just don't even care. I know how to be healthy, I just can't bring myself to do it.

Lol 'rage stroke' is a pretty perfect portrayal of what I felt when I saw this too. I've been this thin, and can testify that for most women it is significantly more work than simply not eating like a hippo. My husband can testify to how much work it was - I got up at the same time every day, ate religiously every…

These are pretty awesome for a low heel - not to mention super comfortable (I wear mine everywhere). This brand also has some really cute flats, although they are on the expensive side. Definitely a worthwhile investment though. http://www.unitednude.com/mobius-mid-bla…

I did a presentation on fat shaming in Women's studies - mostly because I have always had such huge body issues for someone who is generally comfortable with herself otherwise - and one of the craziest things I stumbled upon was this.

Embrace your height. I used to be like that, always looking for flat shoes so as to not emphasize that I was taller than the other girls... now you will rarely see me in less than a 3 inch heel. Even my camping sandals are 2" wedges.

Oh I could not disagree more. Tommy Lee Jones deserves more Oscars, if anything. He should just get a walking-around Oscar for his overall-awesomeness.

I was like that as a child - so outspoken and used to being the centre of attention that it was crossing the point of arrogant obnoxiousness as I entered my teen years. Thankfully as I matured I learned that just because I think something I don't always have to say it and that sometimes its better to just let things…

I had terrible acne when I was younger and tried everything. It wasn't until I got a summer job outside in the fresh air where I didn't wear makeup that my skin cleared right up. I've since discovered that pretty much everything I put on my face (even now, at 28) still causes me to break out, except a very select…

I agree. Little girls often want to look like their mommies, and what is wrong with that? More importantly, what the hell makes it sexual? Ugh.

Ahahaha. I don't watch Southpark anymore but this makes me want to. :P

I don't agree with her fashion sense either - there were two dresses that I thought were pretty cute that she hated, and one that she loved that I thought was hideous - but I have to say I LOVE her commentary. Her remarks about making people acknowledge her fat existence were awesome, and really contribute to the fat…

I've actually found this to be the case most of the time (my husband is seven years older than me) but not for any of the reasons listed above. I've just always been ridiculously mature for my age, and I always had to date older to get a guy who was in the same place in his life that I was.

Omg I want to be friends with you.

That is a great thing to teach your child! Good for you! That being said, if a dog is fearful (which can sometimes lead to aggression), the only way to cure that is to constantly expose him to situations that he is afraid of. Avoiding places where your dog might misbehave is not a solution, controlling his…
