Stories of Substance: Body Image Round-Up

So many interesting articles and blog posts out there on the web this week!

Is fitspiration actually thinspiration in disguise? Virginia Sole-Smith discusses the dangers of compulsive exercise, false assumptions about what is true health, and distinguishing between inspiration and judgment when looking at other peoples’ bodies here.

Adored this post on Stop Chasing about cycling, bellies, deciding how much exercise is enough, and nurturing yourself.

Super excited to find Elizabeth Patch’s More to Love Blog, which contains inspiring articles and her beautiful artwork of real women. Check out her post on cleaning out her closet along with negative body image thoughts here.

Interesting study by my undergraduate alma mater, Rutgers University, about how weight stigma can actually harm your physical health. Read about it here.

Are there places you find to be body-friendly zones? Love Sally McGraw’s article on The Frisky on finding body acceptance in a tattoo parlor here.

Read anything good about body image lately? Be sure to let me know!
