I think your awareness and concern about this issue mean that even if you don’t have the perfect words, you WILL be able to teach your daughter what you want her to know.

I am pregnant (also: ED + pregnancy is complicated stuff!) with a little girl due in September. I’m spending a lot of time thinking about how I am going to talk about myself in front of her and how I’ll talk to her about her body as well so she doesn’t feel like she needs to feel like garbage about her body just…
Your daughter will be so lucky to have a mom like you. My mom’s diet talk was very toxic for me growing up, and even when I talk with her about it now, she still doesn’t realize that pinching her stomach in front of me or talking about how “bad” she’s been is really, really painful for me to hear. Best of luck in…
I agree with you. An ED never really goes away. The same way that an alcoholic can always remember the thrill of the feeling of a budding buzz I still, to this day, feel elated whenever someone tells me I’m “so thin”. The positive reinforcement is truly the most dangerous for me.
Oh man. I sort of want to see this, but I’m literally a few weeks off from being kicked out of treatment myself and this will probably be too trigger for me right now. I had been in inpatient for 5 weeks, stepped down to a day program for a few weeks, and then they wanted to move me back up and I refused. Now I’m just…
I’ve never seen any of these films (my age and my unwillingness to be triggered has prevented me), but I really wish there were more movies that talked about diet culture and how it leads to EDs.
This show was so terrible and I hate-watched it, but for real I still use Sammi’s most eloquent contribution in my everyday life: “RAAAHHHN STAAAAHHHHP”
I will never not love Dave Matthews. Sorry, not sorry.
Pretty sure Linda just wanted to call Chyna a stripper and act condescending. Linda’s probably havin’ a bad day. Poor Linda.
But maybe the fact that she kept him for four years means that she tried a bunch of things and didn’t give up on him easily? There is a charitable interpretation of this.
Choosing to show your body publicly or post nude pictures of yourself is not the same as someone posting private pics without your consent. It really doesn’t matter how many times we’ve seen Chyna nude, this is still messed up.
It’s 14 months paid parental leave in Germany if both parents take at least 2 months off. Example: dad takes 2 months, mom takes 12. If only one parent stays home it’s 12 months. You get 60 % of your average salary from the last 12 months, up to a max of 1800 Euro (taxfree, plus full health care). There’s also…
How long did it take you to find that lead image? Because it’s perfect for that headline.
I know a lot of people around here worship all things Mariah, but it seems like everything around her is a big production and she must just be exhausting to gave to deal with, especially if you are one of the little people.
Does she stand up? Sit in a chair? Hang from the ceiling? What???
I make all of those faces every single time my boss opens his mouth.
ahhhh, my favourite part of this gif is his little foot stamping 😂😂
