Body Acceptance Round Up
I’ve added a bunch of new links to the sidebar under “Body Acceptance.” The abundance of resources and support for this topic is overwhelming (in a good way). Here are a few I want to highlight:
12 Steps to Health at Every Size
Health at Every Size is a way of life that focuses on how you’re feeling (sound familiar?) and making friends with your body instead of what you weigh or what body type you have.
Good With Cheese
This is one of my new favorite blogs because it is about a woman’s journey to listening to and accepting her body. And because she’s hilarious.
You Don’t Have to Be Pretty
Here’s an oldie but a goodie that is worth a re-read (every. freakin’. month.). It’s about how we don’t owe prettiness to anyone. We only owe happiness to ourselves.
Here are some particularly good posts that I’ve come across recently (they may not have actually been written recently, but they’re new to me.):
Crush-Worthy
This right here sums up one of the best thing about participating in the Health at Every Size movement: The joy that comes with a lovely realignment in priorities.
You Won’t Go to Hell Because it Tastes Good
This post challenges us to remove moral judgment from what we eat.
I dare you
The Rotund dares us to go an entire day without thinking or saying negative things about our bodies.

Heh–sitting on the computer all day was exactly how I found those links. Thank goodness for Firefox and tabbed browsing.. the tangential link clicking is what really sucks you in.

Hi! I found your blog via Shapely Prose and thought I would pass along a link to my blog, http://www.creamynougatlair.com. It’s all about body image, body image and it’s relationship to art, and touches on some fat acceptance too.
Something tells me that I’ll be devouring your blog for a good part of this evening. Just the other day, I asked out loud when I was going to come across a blog that talks about manifestation and the law of attraction.
I love how the world works.

Welcome Ducky! That right there is the Law of Attraction in action. I love it.
