I've decided to start incorporating some FA messages back into regular postings, as a way to tie it into the happiness project. I'm going to focus on positive messages, and begin with positive images.
Today I'm focusing on The Museum of Fat Love. It was started by Lesley, who put together submissions from real people in happy moments with their partners. This amazing project proves that our bodies are not a barrier to finding happiness. Click on each thumbnail to see the couple's story. The photos are work-safe (i.e. no nudity or adult content).
Beyond just the message, the very act of looking at and reading about happy people can sometimes give your mood a boost. So give the site a try when you need an antidote for the barrage of fat negativity.

Post a Comment
All comments may be moderated. If you think you're entitled to free speech, you are, on your own blog. This is my blog. I have opinions that are often subjective, and as I'm not running a documentary or research organization, there's nothing wrong with a little subjectivity. I also have the right to not approve or delete comments I find mean-spirited, idiotic or encouraging what I consider objectional, dangerous, or plain stupid practices (such as weight loss or cosmetic surgery, changing your body to please others (i.e. "dieting"), spreading hate, etc.). If you voice disagreement with anything I say, and you do it in an intelligent matter with clear research citations to your claims and conclusions (popular media articles don't count) I will probably allow the comment. I will also probably debate you and try to refute your claims. If at any time that devolves into stupidity or attack, I will start deleting your comments. If you disagree with what I say by spouting pseudoscientific popular opinion, displaying prejudice or hate, or otherwise acting like an ass-hat, I will delete your comment. That's pretty much the policy, subject to change without notice :-)
