Axel is at that age where they are self-conscious about their body and think they need to be thinner. (Small fat mostly due to daily steroid needs.)
My goal as a parent is to make them understand that thinner does not equal healthier. Lots of thin people are seriously friggin unhealthy.
So I have Axel doing light weights, low-impact cardio, and focusing on making good food choices.
Not in this house, you g*ddamned eating disorders and unrealistic body expectations. #Healthy #BodyImage

Much has been written about the problematic cultural impact of 2001's "Shallow Hal," but Gwyneth Paltrow's body double, Ivy Snitzer, hasn't been part of the conversation. Journalist Amelia Tait spoke to her about her experiences of making the movie, how it changed her life, and how she feels about it today.

I just got reminded by accident of the time in 2019 when I went 500 words out of my way and all the way back to the old web (my blog, natch) to avoid subtweeting someone, all so I could take issues with her entire ridiculous notion of "nasty pussy" w/o becoming that weirdo out there on social media trying to mansplain pussy to a woman:

"I feel uncomfortable in clothes, not my skin"
We just need to start buying clothes that actually fits us.

Today's #soundtrack comes from the experimental and emotional #KensukeUshio. His double album A Shape of Light is the #OST for #asilentvoice, a beautiful #anime #movie about #bullying, #poverty, #mentalhealh, #disabilty, #redemption, #bodyimage, and #acceptance.
It was one of the best movies released in 2016 and yet few people appear to have seen it. The OST is the icing on a very delicate cake. I do enjoy the diagese.

By and large, western society is informed by visual media. Just about everyone has a smartphone, or at least access to social media platforms, and will likely be no more than two taps away from seeing a plethora of slim, fit starlets laughing in sun loungers.

If you're having a difficult day with body image and you're larger than average (or you're average, which is still described as Too Much), Sarah Millican's hilarious description of loving her belly and fuck off to body judgment might be just the thing.
(If you like her style, Google "Sarah Millican email from my bully" for the time her high school bully wrote her and pretended all was fine - it's a gem)

I’m so inconsistent. I work really hard to build #fitness and lose weight, then abruptly stop because I can’t keep it up anymore… then start all over again. I’ve stopped training with my #swimming club because I can’t face going back while overweight and relatively slow. Think I’d have to drop a lane and my ego is mad about it. Am building back up in public swim sessions where my teammates can’t see me. I doubt this is healthy.

“I am woman, I am fearless
I am sexy, I’m divine
I’m unbeatable, I’m creative
Honey, you can get in line
I am feminine, I am masculine
I am anything I want”
More of this, please. Empowering lyrics for young girls that aren’t about body parts. As a father of a young daughter, I find this especially important.

Today I was complimented by a complete stranger while I was at the park in my mother of the bride get up.
Thanks lady! I felt gorgeous and had no anxiety. As I have aged, I believe I may have run out of fucks to give.
My daughter's wedding was just lovely too!
