Seriously. Since when is "I am also an African American" some sort of political endorsement? Do people just not know the historical connotations of the raised fist?

But Danielle Brooks, you guys! She’s nominated!

Thank you! Luckily, it didn’t get severe enough that I needed treatment or anything, and it took me a long time to realize that it was an eating disorder. I wish you luck - sometimes our mental health is worth a lot more than money or a degree!

I recently left a long-time job (that I should have left years ago - emotionally abusive and toxic work environment, was guilted into staying too long, long story) and I’m so glad I did. I took a moderate paycut, so I’m living cheap for a while, but I’m so much happier - I dropped several pounds my first week just…

I’ve also struggled with bingeing and still do, sometimes. I also sympathize with the quick weight gain - after recovering from anorexia/bulemia, I went on birth control and started binge eating and gained about 40 pounds in probably 3 months - it was super quick, I just woke up one morning and thought, “What the hell…

I know how you feel - I started a new job a few weeks ago and was nervous too (which is unusual for me). I’m about a month in now and everything is going great. Just keep telling yourself the first couple of days are the worst part and it all gets easier from there!

*Trigger warning* Definitely been through it. Basically, struggled with anorexia/bulemia in my teens, then switched to binge-eating disorder after that and gained a ton of weight. It’s taken me about a year of hard work to lose 25 pounds and I still yo-yo. I was really hoping to be closer to my goal weight now. I…

Oh, you bet your ass I did haha

I loved all the seasons, but Scully is definitely less of a victim in the later ones. And I’m in love with Mulder so I’m going to have to disagree with you there :-)

1. Sliced fruit of your choice. 2. A shit ton of Cool Whip. I’m sure the stuff is terrible for you, but it really satisfies the emotional sweets cravings and is low in calories.

Yup. Lots of fruit and orange juice and tons of sleep. When you’re not at work and feel like sleeping, do it. I haven’t lost the battle and gotten sick for a good 9 months now (knock on wood).

I’m seconding Maidenform boy shorts. They are sooo comfy and they last a good long time. Sometimes they have them on sale at Kohl's.

I feel you. A couple years ago, I went in asking for a shoulder-length bob and she literally put it in a ponytail and chopped it. I had a straight chin-lenth bob, and I do not have the face for such a cut. But it grew out and everything turned out OK. Definitely get your $$ back and then use it on some color and fancy…

I use Almay liquid foundation in Ivory. I’m extremely pale too and it’s a perfect match.

It was what YOU feel it was. No one else has the right to tell you that something is not rape or sexual assault. It depends on if YOU felt violated. And as far as fighting back more: Sometimes our brains do things to survive. We might think back and feel that we should have done this or that, but you reacted the way…

“It hurts” doesn’t signal a “stop” to you? If a guy is totally cool with hurting you during sex (without your being into that sort of thing), that doesn’t sound like a consensual encounter to me at all. Non-rapists don’t want sex to be bad for their partners. “It hurts” is definitely a “no,” especially coming from a…

Welcome to post-abstinence-only-education America, my friend.

Mary Kate & Ashley movies! I haven’t thought about those in years! God, my friends and I must have watched Billboard Dad 100 times.

Constance Wu is everything. She makes that show. And Randall Park is cute af. I love everything about FOTB and I'm not a sitcom person either (although I like Modern Family too).
