As we head toward the end of the year, I know that this year has been a struggle on my body. It’s not just the lack of going places, but the stress that I find myself holding onto in my neck and shoulders. Lately, I’ve noticed that I’ve been telling…
Today’s blog post for NaBloPoMo was supposed to be about something completely different, you’ll see what tomorrow! Instead, we’re going to talk about fatness, fitness, and body positivity. If you’ve been around a while then you might know that 10 years ago I lost a ton of weight. It was…
Let’s have a talk about food, bodies, eating and the amazing book What Goes Down. In this blog, I’ve talked a lot about weight. I’ve talked about how losing 70lb made me feel about my body (not good), I’ve talked about how I’m an emotional eater (also not good) and…
“Emotional eating is the practice of consuming food — usually “comfort” or junk foods — in response to feelings instead of hunger.” My name is Dominee and I like to eat when I feel things I don’t want to feel. I eat more when I am stressed. I eat more…
Let’s talk about how to stop verbally abusing your body. As you know from my fitness/body-love worksheets and the Body Love Gym, it’s so important to love your body and to meet your needs without focusing on your weight. How many times have you looked in the mirror and said…
If someone asked you the question “What would you change about your body?” what would be your answer? As much as I love my body (most days) even I have a few things on the list. Pesky chin hair that’s a pain to pluck, my oh-so-sexy lady ‘stash, and I’d…
There is no greater gift that you can give yourself than loving yourself fully. Your mind. Your soul. Your lovely body. I don’t know about you but once spring and summer roll around I get a little critical about my body. A bit of grumbling about the weight I’ve gained…
Is it just me or has there been some really amazing body positive music coming out lately? Not just inspiring lyrics but videos that really showcase different body types? It’s bad-ass and it makes me so happy to live in a world that is embracing all types of bodies and…
Without further ado, here’s a post from the lovely Danielle Yeager. Most of us experienced a love-hate relationship with our bodies throughout our life. You started out not even thinking about your body; you just used it. Learned how to move, to run, to jump, and to play with your…
This is a guest post by someone who wishes to remain anonymous! Without further ado… I love my body. I love my thin bones and my stretch marks. I love my fair skin and my toes shaped like turtle heads. I love my unique blend of smallness and roundness that…
I am so passionate about people loving their bodies. We are only on this earth for a short time and we spend so much wasted time hating our bodies. We are so critical of the way we look. A whole day can be ruined by looking in the mirror. Relationships…
We are human. We are flawed. We are messy. We are selfish. We are petty. We are jealous. We are insecure. We are needy. We have problems. We have issues. Turning your back on those things or those qualities that we peg as negative will not make you happy. It…
