According to an article in Business Insider magazine: “Retailer Abercrombie […] read more »
Self-Bullying, on the surface, is about a person hurting just themselves. Or is it? What I sometimes fail to recognize when I’m in a self-bullying battle is that I’m not the only person that I hurt. When I talk down to myself, neglect my desires and needs, and push my self-esteem down with all of my might, the people closest to […] read more »
I have this particular blog post by Darla printed out and hanging on my wall. Since being at Green Mountain, I am so much better at connecting my overeating with negative feelings like frustration, jealousy or inadequacy. But I forget that sometimes the urge to eat may not be so complex. Maybe it isn’t always driven by an unpleasant feeling […] read more »

Follow her every other Thursday as she blogs about the victories and challenges of repairing her relationships with food, her body and herself.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes you just keep hanging in a situation that is uncomfortable? Sometimes as women we don’t feel we are permitted to step away from a difficult situation, e.g., criticism at work, an argument at home, or an upsetting political discussion. And a lot of times, using food to cope when that uncomfortable situation happens. But […] read more »
I’m looking at the cover of a popular magazine. Here are a few of the headlines: “Drop 5 Pounds Superfast,” “The Top Anti-Aging Products,” and “25 Secrets of Women Who Eat, Drink and Shrink.” Our culture supports women fixating on what’s “wrong” with our appearance… our weight, our wrinkles, our waves… there are diets, creams and straightening irons to fix […] read more »
