Don’t Let your Whole Personality be an Instagram Filter

I was casually shopping for my nine-year-old daughter the other day and was confronted by a child sized t shirt that said: “Perception is reality” I used to believe that statement with my whole heart. It must have been ingrained in me by a nun along the way. The nuns that schooled me were wise… Read More Don’t Let your Whole Personality be an Instagram Filter

My Battle With Body Image

Three years ago I weighed just shy of 250 pounds. I wore size 18 pants, XL or XXL shirts, and had curves for days. Society would not necessarily have considered my body beautiful, but I was extremely comfortable in my skin. One day I decided to slap on a bathing suit, write a little blurb… Read More My Battle With Body Image

Body Image and Me

14 years ago I started on a health and wellness journey that I am just now really coming to understand and embrace. I had open gastric bypass surgery (simply, a small pouch was created from my stomach which was then connected directly to my small intestine.) The surgery was done because of a number of… Read More Body Image and Me

I Am More Than My Weightloss

I’ve lost a lot of weight recently. It’s not all that new or different as I’ve yoyo-ed a lot over the past 20 years or so, but I’m approaching my lowest adult weight and it’s drawn a lot of attention from those around me. It feels good to have people notice my hard work and… Read More I Am More Than My Weightloss

Laugh Lines and Serenity: This is 41.

What I wore on my beach vacation (Hint: It’s not what you’d expect)

My once tight, tiny body now has stretch marks and loose skin that covers my stomach and hangs where the umbilical hernia once poked through. And, since I am not only a mother— I am also a wife and a woman—naturally, I want to look attractive and sexy on this vacation. … Read More What I wore on my beach vacation (Hint: It’s not what you’d expect)

A Day in the Life of a Fat Person

I am fat. I stand at 5’6 (and ½ )”  and weigh anywhere between 230 and 240 pounds. If you want to get technical, and refer to the good ol’ BMI chart, I would fall into the extremely obese range. Is this something I am proud of, no, but is it something that I allow… Read More A Day in the Life of a Fat Person

Sometimes I Pretend.

I went out last weekend.  My ALONE weekend without my boys.  When I left the house, I wasn’t feeling particularly social, but I thought it would be good for me.  It was time to stop pacing and looking at pictures of the boys and get out.   So I went to a fabulous party.  There… Read More Sometimes I Pretend.

Dear Rude Complementary Lady

Hi, my name is Wilder. Do I have a sign on my head that gives you permission to talk about my body? I do not know you, and you do not know me. We had a quick exchange at a fundraiser, but only because your friend was being a B, and felt the need to… Read More Dear Rude Complementary Lady

Can we all agree to stop saying this?

As a culture we’ve agreed that there are certain words and phrases that need to be abolished.  So much so in fact that we don’t even say the words in polite company. The N word or R word comes to mind, as does the phrase “that’s so gay“.  There’s another phrase I’ve had enough with… Read More Can we all agree to stop saying this?
