Why Breaking Your Diet Doesn't Make You a Bad Person
- First of all, love sharing writing by a fellow college student. Secondly, Wendy Sun of Yale University is spot on with this article. I for one am incredibly proud of her relationship status with Carl the carrot cake. And I hope you all are on the same level with your S.C. (significant cake) too.
- I am so glad articles like this exist yet so dejected that there's a reason that they do. One day I hope to have a beautiful baby girl of my own, and since spending time in Panama and observing the utter lack of negative body image it seems to me that the culture of the U.S. is the issue. But maybe articles like this can help spread awareness and change the tape in the country I call home.
- During the worst point in my ED I had more rules (read: restrictions) regarding food than the Great Wall of China has bricks. "No meals within less than three hours of each other" "Snacks are 200 calories or less" "treat foods only once a month" ugh it makes me shudder. I love the way Amanda took a nasty topic like "food rules" and bestowed a sweet, fun connotation to it. My favorite of her rules? "If you don't like it; don't eat it". Bye kale smoothies #sorrynotsorry

Is It Time to Give Up on Your Workout? Here's How to Tell
- Everybody loves to be a motivator or a #fitspiration on social media, but there are less indivuduals who encourage one another to know their own limits. Heck with slogans like "just do it" and "pain is your body changing" it's hard not to feel guilty when our body is sending us signals to S L O W down. This article helps decode those signals and gives you the green light to stop when you must. It's okay, truly.
