shout out to the girls that hate their bodies but are trying really really hard to find the beauty and comfort in them because that shit is hard and takes a lot of time and is emotionally exhausting. i’m proud of y’all.

[yayyypaleo]

No, I have no given up! 

Tomorrow is day 29! I know I haven’t posted my intake or any updates in a few weeks, but I’m hoping to catch up with that soon! Going strong!

I will continue to do the Whole60!

Spanking: an expression of anger and exasperation that morphs into abuse.

Spanking: A cycle of abuse disguised as a tradition or a cultural norm

Spanking: Creates the idea that violence and pain is an instrument of love. 

Spanking: Is considered acceptable and seen as a private matter, while a husband hitting his wife is seen as domestic violence and subject to police intervention.

Spanking: leads to delinquent behavior, violent outbursts in adolescence, low self-esteem and self-worth, aggressiveness.

Spanking: okay at the hands of the parents who are trying to teach their children a lesson, but not okay at the hands of teachers who are also trying to teach their students a lesson when they do something wrong. 

Spanking: studies and polls show that the average 4 year old is hit 936 times a year

It is quite often that you hear people say “ I was spanked, but I turned out perfectly fine” and are therefore perfectly fine with this type of abuse to continue. Okay well what about someone who was sexually assaulted, molested, or suffered any other type of abuse as a child and turned out perfectly fine as an adult? Do you condone rape? Do you condone the molestation of children? Do you condone abuse? 

You turned out okay in spite of the abuse inflicted on you as a child. NOT because of it.

[yayyypaleo]

I couldn't agree more. I see spanking as an adult who has lost control of THEIR SELF.

It’s going to take me weeks to re-set my normal after looking at this.

I went to go pick up my wedding gown today and my worst nightmare came true. I didn’t fit. 

Couldn’t even get it over my hips. I was so upset that I cried on and off for two whole hours. Every confidant moment I have felt since I started the Whole30 feels like nothing now. And now I feel worse than I did before I even started the challenge. 

I probably won’t feel as bad in a day or two, and my goal is to keep going on this path. I’m just so disappointed that I let myself get so unhealthy thinking it’d just somehow magically be okay in the end. I’m a fool. All I can do is keep working hard, and work even harder.
