The New Year is a time for new resolutions, many of which focus around weight loss.  Seeing all this can be difficult on those that struggle with eating disorders.  It can seem normal to think that you need to lose weight or tone up this time of year.  While this may be true for some…

The Trouble with Change

In my post on Monday, I talked about the usual relief I get as I moved towards the end of the holiday season and how it is different this year with jetting off to Vermont on Monday for Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy training for 3-weeks.  As the fear of travel and change creeps closer I…

Don’t Judge a Belly by its Cover

NewImage.png

As part of The Real Body Project I have been getting a variety of submissions; stories, belly sizes and shapes.  All unique in their truth.  One women however, RedLin, has a truth that really got me thinking and one that I want to share with you.  Before reading below take a look at her belly….

Last week in my post on elephant journal a reader, Lucy, left a comment that started my mind racing: I immediately thought of Hitler, the Nazi who exterminated six million Jews, due to the belief of Darwinism and the fear that the inferior races will contaminating the Aryan gene pool. In a way, this is…

I hope everyone had a great Christmas, Chanukah, and the like with family and friends!  While the change of pace during this time of year can be a welcome reprieve for many from the daily grind, I often find, as many do with eating disorders that it can be a struggle.  Different schedules, different food,…

I’ve been soliciting your photos left and right.  Bellies, bellies, everywhere.  A project, a campaign, a movement brewing.  Still in the seed stages and planted with love and light, but where in this mix of excitement is my belly?  In spearheading this project I need to step forward and show my truth, my softness and…

  C squared?  What is this you say? Why Chanukah and Christmas season!  Last night was the first night of Chanukah, the kickoff of eight nights of gifts, one for each night, right? Wrong.
