Fending Off Negative Feelings
This is a cross-post at WeAretheRealDeal re: Fitbloggin!
What a weekend! MizFit, Marsha, YumYucky and I spoke on a body image panel at Fitbloggin in Baltimore this past weekend.
(Were you there?! If so, let us know — and thank you for coming; it was a blast!!)
Fitbloggin was a fitness/wellness blogger conference organized by Roni, and it was an amazing time!!
Seriously, a wonderful experience and so nice to meet Marsha and YumYucky, and to see MizFit and Roni again (I met them at a blogger meet-up in Chicago in ’08).

Our topic was body image and blogging: what are we teaching our kids.

Being Mindful of Size Sensitivities
Though the dialogue was very respectful and, in the end, very fruitful … my post yesterday at WeAretheRealDeal unfortunately ruffled some readers’ feathers.
And I can’t help but feel bad about it today.
What did I do? Well, I named sizes … and called a 10 “average,” which made some readers who are bigger than that (and happy there!) feel bad about themselves.
Eeks.
