Things that cannot screen for breast cancer and things that can.

Seriously. If someone is holding you back in any aspect of your life, the best thing you can do for yourself is kick them to the curb!
That’s what I did when my roommate decided she didn’t need to be considerate anymore.
I CANNOT agree with this more. I believe a major part of my ability to remain positive rests on my ability to separate from toxic people.

this is a video of me from a couple weeks ago performing a poem i wrote called ‘fat bottomed girls’.
“if every bastard who had ever judged my body
were lined up in front of me
firing squad-style
and i was given the right
to do with them as i pleased,
i would be at a loss.
i would probably yell
—eat me!—
because i love a good fat girl pun,
but there’s nothing else left inside
to make them understand
the extreme ignorance and misspent pain they embody.you can all just fucking EAT ME.
devour my scarlet throbbing flesh
like junior high vultures
like sorority pledge councils
like debutante beauty queens
i don’t look like you
what the fuck else is new?there is no footnote
in the regulations index of my life
that tells me i have to sleep on ellipticals
and suck down the hopeful semen
of boys named jimmy
until you understand my body.you won’t ever understand my body.
i am miss piggy, i am mama cass, i am fucking aretha.
and i love being these women.
i love being fat.
my thighs shriek rough and ready sex
like downtown thunder
my ass drips vanilla milkshakes
and my personal style is baby gay madonna
meets crop top goth
AND IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER.
being fat doesn’t make me different,
—fuck, i look like america—
but loving that i’m fat
makes me a pillsbury rebellion.i hold protests in my mouth
when i eat in public
picket signs wallpaper my willing body
when i dance naked in my apartment.
RIOTS NOT DIETS is tattooed across my chest
and i live for the moment
when i shock you into silence.
because being me is political
and you never voted for this shit.body image is just bad english for
how hard you stomp the sidewalk
or how many cracks in the mirror
you’ve traced.
i may have been picked last in softball,
but i was nationally ranked in tennis,
and you’ll never be ready for this jelly
because all you nibble on
are sad-ass spoonfuls of
organic low sodium peanut butter.yeah, i tend to date black guys
and i rarely say no to a homemade baked good
but that says no more about me than —
how you chew big red compulsively when you’re nervous, or
how you can never say no to your mother —
says about you.
so just let it be.
we’re grown-ups now, i think.
there are no more lunch time kickball teams,
and i already have a date to the next dance.
so when you feel the need
to pretend to be concerned
about my health or well-being
just know that i’ve already let go of the trigger
firing squad-style
just know that you don’t have
to count the calories
when i tell you
to fucking eat me.”Chills every dang time.
I didn’t even know how badly I needed to hear this again.I love this.
Just want to add that I’m always jealous of poets who can memorize their poems.

Which one looks better?
I understand the purpose behind this post — to challenge the societal view that “skinnier = prettier” by comparing a before and after of someone who’s suffered through an eating disorder. I get it. However, something about this bothers me. I think it’s this: While the point you seem to be making is to shrug off societal views and to embrace a healthy lifestyle, you’re buying into the exact root of the problem. You’re basically saying “don’t get an eating disorder because you’ll be unattractive.”
On one hand, this only furthers the mindset that women should make their health decisions based on what’s more attractive. On the other hand, it seems to downplay the fact that many women who suffer from eating disorders are suffering for reasons not derived from a desire to be “pretty” — like rape, abuse, depression, etc.
So, I just felt like piping up about this one. I support your blog and what you aim to do, but this one just rubs me the wrong way.

You know what time it is!
If you wait for “motivation” you’ll never start! Be your own motivation.

Q:Hello! So I've had a trainer since October of last year and we work out 2 times a week, but I haven't lost much weight at all. I don't want to say anything to my trainer because I think his routine is effective. The problem is I what/how I'm eating. My parents eat the usual every week and there's no way they'll change it. Trust me - I've tried. :/ Any advice on my working out/eating habits to help me lose weight more effectively?
Do your parents meet with personal trainers? If not, this is clearly something you’re doing for yourself that’s outside of what “the usual” is for them. Why should your food choices be any different? What I mean to say is that if it is possible for you to train, it’s possible for you to eat well, regardless of what your parents are doing.
Do you eat all three meals with them? I’m guessing like most people you only really eat one big meal as a family. For that meal, here are some idea:
-Make smart choices with what you’re given. Pass on the bread and rolls and have an extra serving of vegetables. Have tea or water instead of juice or soda.
-Practice portion control. Have smaller servings of calorie bomb foods and larger servings of healthy foods.
-Swap one option out for yourself. If the meal is fried chicken, grill a chicken breast for yourself instead. If the side is buttered mashed potatoes, cook some quinoa instead. Pick out the least healthy option and create a healthier version for yourself.
And then make the most of the meals you eat away from your parents as well. You could even ask your trainer if they have advice as they might be a certified nutritionist as well.

I apologize if I’m not the first person to post this — I saw it on a friends FB wall and had to share.
