  BlogHer - Health & Wellness — Authority: 142
  Imagine the promise of it all! "Lose weight fast!" and "Eat the foods you want and watch the pounds vanish!" and "Forget about killing yourself with sweaty workouts." (Ahem.

  Teenager: Spokane, 1974 Crosby, Stills & Nash is what my mind returns to. I played that album, the one they did before Neil Young joined the band, incessantly. And I waited. It had everything, all the pieces. The political defiance and despair. The sensual love songs that were about seizing the day, ...

• Sienna Miller: I need to work out, I’m so out of shape

  
  Cele|bitchy — Authority: 711
  Sienna Miller is one of those celebrities that I tend to overanalyze because she pisses me off so much. I can’t really help it - I think she’s extremely fake, I often find her interviews insanely narcissistic, and at times it feels like she’s trying to create a public façade of some bohemian, low-key goddess ...

  Feministing — Authority: 656
  New York Magazine s The Cut asks why when mags feature "plus size" models theyre always naked. I dont agree with the whole post, but thats a damn good question.

  Cele|bitchy — Authority: 711
  V Magazine has a new pictorial featuring plus-sized models, but instead of dressing the women in flattering outfits they ramp up the skin and skank with nude artfully draped photos more suited to a men’s magazine than a fashion tome. These are beautiful top plus-sized models and it’s like they have no other role ...

• Sorry, Jen, but when I look at this I want to starve myself

  
  overland literary journal — Authority: 132
  If Marie Claire and eating disorder experts believe an untouched photo of a former Miss Universe is prompting positive body images they are seriously deluding themselves. A body like Jennifer Hawkins’s only exists with regimented diet and exercise and is hardly realistic. This photo depresses me. This photo makes me ...

  TransCanada — Authority: 119
  This is one of those things I scribbled quickly on paper before going to bed: I think I have doubts sometimes because Im not the woman I dreamed I would be, and Im not the woman I hoped I would be.

  One More Thing — Authority: 116
  I mean to post more often, I really do.  But then somehow days slip by, all busy and stuff, and suddenly, hey, look at that, it’s been almost a week.  I’m blaming it on testosterone poisoning; that sperm-meets-egg thing has resulted not only in an ever-growing midsection, but also in a vague fatigue and outright ...
