Anything that could be classified as "junk food" could not be eaten (or even carried) in public. Eating alone, in fact, behind closed doors, was preferable whenever possible.

bodies
Did I ever tell you guys about the time I was hooking up with a guy who took it upon himself to shake my stomach fat while informing me that he liked "my jiggly belly"?
plus size
I'm just fine with the way my body looks and feels at this moment. What makes me hate myself is not being able to fit into clothes -- my own and those in stores.

If you're going to street harass me, at least say nice things.

Britton Delizia has had ENOUGH of the oppression of slender, fit women. And she's doing something about it!

Fat-shaming has been a popular topic on this site, and I’ve avoided the topic like an out of state parking ticket, but I have something to say, now.
hair
A hairstylist telling you that a certain haircut won’t work on you because of the “shape of your face” is a myth just as a great as the idea of “dressing for your size.”
pregnancy
That's nearly $100 per pound. Yes, I know. I know.
anarchy
Why not, for one week, just put what I want in my mouth without any of the rules, restrictions or calculations? Could I even handle the freedom??!?

UGH, I’m getting all serious again. Sorry, but stomach flu just isn’t conducive to beauty writing. This will be brief!

I don't know that we can exclusively blame magazines for making women hate their bodies. (Although they certainly don't often help.)

The box springs collapse, and our bed frames splinter. Sometimes his pants rip. We overeat ice cream. I worry deeply about our future, our finances and our fitness.

I offer the following proposal: maybe we should just stop trying to be hot.
diets
Just a few weeks ago, I had a conversation with my partner in which I'd announced that I had decided that I was going to accept my body at this larger size if it meant that I could just live my life eating normally and he was fucking elated. Now I'm all like, "Uh, nevermindsies."
weight
I’m not allowed to utter the words “run” or “exercise" without eliciting an intervention. Can I preserve my heart, please?
fat
No, I am not uncomfortable. This chair might be uncomfortable, and your assumptions might be uncomfortable. But I am just fine.

Here, let me say for everyone, for always: Yes, I know I’m bigger than she is. You don’t need to tell me.
body issues
Slowly, I began to feel uncomfortable eating junk around Nick. He would be slamming down protein shakes, growing bigger and stronger, while I remained small and soft and unsure of what to do with this vast difference in body type.

psychiatry
If I wanted to go to a professional regarding the amount of jiggle I'm packin', I would have chosen a trainer or nutritionist, not a psychiatrist.
fitness
I normally write articles about the things I do in my kitchen, or my orgasm anxiety, but today, I am about to whine for the next 1,000 words about my ass.
fashion
Lashing out at thin women to tell them they aren’t wanted isn’t the way to address disparities and prejudices in fashion.

I'm having trouble seeing these so-called "plus sized" Swedish mannequins blowing up on Facebook as some great leap forward in body acceptance. I KNOW, I'M SUCH A GRUMP.
