Internet insult-slinging can get vicious. But Meghan Tonjes, creator of  Project Lifesize doesn’t suffer trolls lying down. Check out her awesome video response to the people who called her “fat” here.

Can’t we all just get along? Somer Sherwood on xoJane discusses the harm of  prejudice based on body size in her article In the Fat Vs. Skinny Smackdown, Everybody Loses.

Do you have fat toes? Apparently toe-besity (and a surgery to cure it) is a thing now. Yup. Read about it here on The Gloss.

Refreshing to read how how the next generation of activists realize that body image and the issues surrounding it is a feminist issue (and are doing something about it). The Broad Side covers it here.

When stress increases, self-care decreases, leading to emotional eating. I could so relate to this article on A Weight Lifted and appreciated the helpful advice.

Smart and interesting article by Troy Roness on the Huffington Post about how body image, homophobia  and the LGBT community here.

Is no one free from the pressure to to lose weight? Great article on Alternet about eight beautiful stars who still get called fat.

I previously wrote about pro-ana/thinspiration website Skinny Gossip here. They’ve been getting a lot of heat in the media lately (and public outcry against them). In response, they took down their “starving tips.” Keep the pressure on! Check out this facebook group that mobilized in response. Skinny Gossip apparently has ads now, including from Ideeli.com. Let Ideeli know they shouldn’t be spending their advertising dollars on such a harmful, unhealthy site by signing this petition here. Sign this petition speaking out against  Skinny Gossip’s destructive message here as well.
