Besides promoting health and a positive body image, I've also discovered that I love- gasp!- fashion. Who knew! The girl in the men's plain black t-shirt and baggy jeans has somehow transformed into a giddy, feminine creature with a penchant for skirts, frills, curls, and pearls. I think the confidence I've gained through this experience has finally allowed me to open up and take pride in what I wear because I take pride in who I am. I feel like fashion and body image go hand in hand together; if you think the canvas is ugly to begin with, no amount of pretty pictures drawn on it will change your opinion.
I intend on this blog exploring and analyzing social ideals of beauty, our body scruples, fashion, bra fitting, healthy weight loss for those who seek it, annoying politically correct feminist mambo-jambo, and various other things that probably don't fit into that niche, but whatever, man, it's my blog, I do waddiwant. I hope you enjoy my blog and if you want to get in touch with me, I'll be adding a contact page shortly. Thanks, all!

I can't wait to see more from this blog. I am currently on a weight loss journey. I've done it before and gained it back after I maintained for almost a year. It's been harder but I can still relate to your love of fashion. When I felt great about myself I explored and had fun with dressing up. Take care! Here is my site if you ever wanna check it out. www.fithourglass.com
Hey! Wow, thanks for the comments. Your blog is great, by the way, and man, the (I'm assuming) bellydancing picture is phenomenal. I wish I had such a dramatic hourglass! Mine is very subtle and it makes me sad it's not more obvious. My waist doesn't go in like the; the entire waist is just smaller than my hips and shoulders.
Anytime. I really enjoy your tumblr site but I don't have a tumblr account so I am not sure if I can comment on things with ease as I can with this blog, so I just wanted to say hi and what not. Thanks for checking out my site, I'm a slow work in progress but I am trying and eventually I will get there, thanks for the lovely compliments, I wish I had a dramatic hourglass too, I miss my old body and all the amazing benefits from being healthy like I was in my belly dance picture, you assumed correctly. I hope you are doing well and I will be sure to be in touch. I should go investigate the whole commenting and asking questions on your tumblr without having to be anon.
I would really love to lose weight. I am very large and nothing would make me happier than having the ability and energy to keep up with my daughter when she is running around and playing. I think your positive outlook on how to achieve that is fantastic, but losing weight just seems so daunting to me, how do I turn things around in my head so it doesn't seem so scary?
Wow!
