Those of you who read my posts often know that I’m kind of a comedy nerd. Even though I often find Apatow movies somewhat sexist, I still watch them to see some of my favorite comedic actors doing their thing. And also, I’ve had a thing for Paul Rudd since Clueless, as my pinterest boards […]

You Won’t Wear a Bikini to the Office
So, pretty much every week, I’m here, writing a post about why loving your body is TOTES AWESOME (as the kids say). I may be writing about Health At Every Size® or diet industry lies or handling the holidays as a fat person, but underneath it all, I’m saying that loving your body, loving yourself, approving […]

The Non-Dieter’s Holiday Survival Guide
It seems that every year around this time, I get gazillions of emails from folks who are nervous about the holidays.
