She's doing even worse eyeliner now than she did then.

Wait, why are berating Beyonce about feminism? As I recall, she's one of the few celebs who is willing to publicly identify as a feminist.

Avril Whatsername is a grown-up woman, and I am so tired of her 8th-grade persona. It's okay to mature.

Wow. {{{hugs}}} I'm sure glad you are on the mend!

My problem is more that I've struggled most of my life with various forms of disordered eating. I developed really destructive feelings towards food, and a lot off them center around not feeling like I deserve it. When I started working towards recovery (or at least functionality) I found preparing my own food, from…

Enjoying the cooking process helps me eat so much better. I have a lot of food-related issues, and connecting to a meal through the process of preparing and cooking helps me a lot. That dinner ssounds amazing, BTW. I might have to make falafel tonight.

It is so much easier to say "I'm going to add more *good thing * to my daily diet", let that sort of naturally seep in and replace less healthy options and before you know it you're eating better, than it is to forbid yourself the less healthy options.

Right? There are serious jerkwads in the Paleo cult, too. Or with the Atkins people. Or the South Beach people. Or the pescetarians. Or the ovo-lacto vegetarians. Once people start giving themselves labels, they have a tendency to kind of overdo it and get all evangelical and stupid about it. Ugh.

I don't understand why voluntary diets have to be so black and white and so strict with labeling. Suppose I am unhappy with supporting the meat industry. Don't I still do a lot of good by reducing my meat consumption by, say, 80%? Or suppose I am a strict vegan. Is all of my good work ruined if I eat one fudge bar?

You say the site perpetuates the stereotype of the preachy vegan, but your first speculation point sounds a little preachy. Pot, kettle?

Healthy skepticism: it's a good thing. I got tired of playing internet sleuth when friends would post stupid (and obvious) scams on FB. If they're not smart enough to take a few minutes to do a little research, then let them deal with the consequences.

Haaaa that top pic is EPIC!!!

Is it bad that I don't hate Ke$ha? (Although, writing her name with a $ hurts my soul) I mean, yeah, she always looks like she hasn't showered in a week and she probably smells like death, but I just feel like she doesn't take herself too seriously. And I appreciate that in even the smelliest people.

Twitter has, for the first time, proven itself useful! I now know I can ask Jane Fonda for a hug if I see her.

Marry that man Julie. He knows the importance of calcium.

Holy Crap get out of my head. I totally just thought "There is a all-aboard = pregnancy joke just begging to be told!"

My line of "Baby on Aboard" car decals are available at your local tire store.

All aboard!!
