There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving my body. I don’t have to choose between being fat and beautiful, I can be both.

It's okay to dump your friends — even friends who have been there for you in the past. Remember today that you deserve good things and good people.

Treating women like idiots has the additional consequence of making women less likely to report symptoms in general. It’s really exhausting

Is anything keeping you from believing that you deserve good things?

We’ve all made bad choices when it comes to dating. Mine involves Hannah Montana, a tractor, and an awkward invitation to a threesome.

A polyamorous relationship is like any other relationship — you set rules and sometimes you hit bumps along the way, but everyone involved knows what is and isn’t acceptable.

I’m very aware of the fact that I’m fat — trust me. I’ve had this body for longer than you’ve been familiar with it.

You can learn to live with the pain, you can move on as I have after over a decade of self-reflection and hard work, but you never, ever get over it.
