I'm not skinny, will never be skinny, don't even want to be skinny. But I like this dress because it has 3/4 length sleeves, has an empire bodice, with the dress flowing beautifully over the hips --- which I have hips that sway. I love the color too.

Actually, if I could have several dresses like this in various colors or pattern print, I'd be thrilled.

Anyway, I love this dress because I think it would look sexy on my body.

Melissa Harris-Perry has a great point about Oprah’s new weight loss ad.

Yeah I wasn't too pleased with it either. Oprah has made a misstep with that. It sends entirely the wrong message. The person you're going to be when you're skinny is exactly the same person you are when you're fat - just in smaller clothes. There's no one different lurking inside your fat. Unless you're so heavy you physically can't do things, it's an old and outdated concept of size and how a person lives their life. I was very very disappointed in that ad.

I always wondered about the training methods on that show. I had a trainer for a while and if he tried to work me that hard I would have fired him. I'm not surprised that a lot of former contestants have regained weight--anyone would lose weight under the show's Draconian torture and starvation methods.
I think losing weight is basically just deciding to move around more and eat less. Besides, I think nice, rounded, feminine women are beautiful. Those super skinny ones can often be a little cranky from all that food deprivation.

A conversation about body positivity in fashion and media.

It's long but definitely interesting.

A couple of years ago I discovered yoga for people of size
and the ability to benefit from yoga both in body and mind.
Found this link today and thought I would share it here.
