First swim of the year down at Cudgeon Creek this afternoon. And despite a little sunburn (what was I thinking not putting on sunscreen!?!?!?), I continue to be amazed at just how I’ve learned to give-n0-fcks about going into the water. Continue reading Fat Girl Swimming …

Tis the season to hate my body … tra la la la la la la la la
Maybe it’s the time of year – summer, NY resolution time, Christmas – but it just seems again that the body and fat shaming is at an all-time high. Continue reading Tis the season to hate my body … tra la la la la la la la la
An afternoon of Grace & Style
I grew up with a very practical Mum – loving, caring, hardworking, realistic, no frills. I don’t really remember her as someone who would wear a lot of make-up or jewellery.

On body shaming
Have just read another young mum depressed about not having her pre-baby body.
I’m saddened yet unsurprised by the amount of body shame many of my Facebook friends express about their own bodies. It’s generally all weight related – haven’t got my pre-baby shape, gotta workout to make up for last night, can’t wear a top because it doesn’t hide the flaws, etc. Continue reading On body shaming
Learning to say I’m fat and not hate myself
The story of the young man who risked everything to travel overseas for massive cosmetic surgery in the hope of making a new life for himself brings into the present the real dangers of the body-image cult that our culture is still part of.
