Worth-reading Round-up
I believe an important part of creating a body-positive culture is not only sharing my story and struggles but putting as many positive body-image stories out into the universe. For too long, we’ve been bombarded by articles and images that only focus on having the best and most perfect bodies ever. I don’t know about…

Posture to the People: BBWC
The Beloved Body Wellness Challenge (BBWC) is back, and I’m so excited to get things rolling again after a (long) hiatus! My goal is to share a challenge at the beginning of each month.

The ‘Fast’ and the Furious
Back in December, my church community group leader mentioned at our weekly meeting that the church would be doing a 21-day fast called the Daniel Fast in January. A fast (based on Daniel’s experience in the bible) that didn’t allow meat, dairy, sugar, processed foods, caffeine or coffee (even decaf!), or alcohol. I wish there…

Eat Too Much Over the Holidays? Leave Your Guilt in 2016.
Happy New Year! The past week as people have started to transition from the holidays season into 2017, I’ve seen multiple social media posts referencing traumatic weigh-in experiences. Reports of tears after stepping on the scale … the cookies, cakes and cocktails have added up. I get it. I overindulged. My clothes are feelings a little tighter…

I Don’t Want to Write This Post
This is a post I don’t want to write. It keeps dropping in priority on my to-do list. Why write it if I don’t want to? Because I HAVE to. You see, at the beginning of October, I issued a Beloved Body Wellness Challenge – one I felt/feel is really important – and I didn’t do…

Positive Eating Habits, Positive Body Image
If you’re like me, you get magazines in the mail and they end up being stacked in an ever-taller-growing pile. But there’s one magazine that I always try to read. It’s the Golden Gate Mother’s Group (GGMG) Magazine, and the article I’m excited to share today is from their magazine. GGMG has been such an amazing…

I’ve Judged You
I’ve judged you. Ok, maybe not every single one of you who read this. But, I admit: I’ve judged people based on their appearance, their size, etc. I’m not proud of my actions. So why am I confessing my sins? Because recently, I learned something from them. First, here’s a little background. About five months…

BBWC #5: Thank the Plank
If you haven’t noticed, Beloved Body went on a bit of summer vacation— well, not really a vacation (I wish!) but a hiatus. The past month, we haven’t had our usual childcare, so I’ve been a full-time stay-at-home mom. It’s been a lot of fun, but by the time Hadley goes to bed, I’m too…
