Especially since it tells the reader to avoid fat – where I live (Sweden) such advice is seen as outdated and full-fat products are considered healthier.

So many of us fight against these tenets because they force us into a way of eating that is socially defined, measured, and timed. Breaking away from these things (especially “good” food lists and meal timing by the clock) has been monumental for me when it comes to breaking free of restricted eating patterns, and this is just more of the pattern that we see repeated in so-called “healthy living” blogs that showcase restriction and judgement surrounding food.

Just another kind of worry I guess that we get caught up in but one of the toughest because of what we have been taught by society.

This has nothing to do with physics whatsoever. What’s the purpose of the equation in this post? To make it seem more “science-y”?

The content of the post is important, but starting it off with a concept that has no relevance to the post only does it disservice. This is not quite as bad as the stuff Alan Sokal so eloquently argues against, but it reeks of the same flavor.

Your story touched me so much. Your Are so beautiful, that I can’t believe you were bullied.

I actually came as a ‘shock’, when I read your story.

I was also bullied at school. It started in grade6. Then it stopped a bit, then in grade 9 it started again.

I was never the brightest or the pretiest, and there were rude girls. Bigger then me. They used to call me names, like ‘Liewe Heksie’. (it is a cartoon chacacter here in South-Africa.) She was a witch. A good witch.But is hurt so so so much!!!

Every afthernoon afther school, I would go to the bathroom ,look in the mirror and try to see the ‘resemblence’.

In grade 11 and 12, it got worse. When I walked home, the bullies walked right behind me, and sing the title-song. Very loud!!!

It was terrible!!! Horrible!!! I had no friends. (who want to be friends with a ‘witch’?)

Every break at school, I hide in the library. There they left me alone.

Up untill today, (Im am 44), I still hate my looks!!!

I only have one friend, and will never got married, because one the bullies was a boy!!!

I appologise for my spellling and grammer. English is my 2nd language, and never was my strongpoint.

Hope you have an awesome week.

Amelia (South-Africa)

I enjoy listening to music when I ride my bike. My song list is getting a bit overplayed so this will be new and uplifting for me.
