what happen when a fat girl wants to be a actress?
i always thought that i had to be skinny and pretty to be on tv or to be a model, at least skinny pretty wasn't such a big deal, turning 15 and watching netflix movies that "try to make you feel accepted with your body" i thought that maybe it wasnt that necessary to be skinny, and also i realize that a lot of teenagers movies on netflix were so bad.

My Period Really Affects Me
My period really affects me. Everything starts out fine, I am functioning. I am working, going to school and hanging out with friends. I am happy. Living each day like it's my last. I go to the gym, I make myself a smoothie. I journal and I read. I make a cup of tea.

Jellybean . Top Story - December 2021.
“I’ll start my diet on Monday” “I’ll lose the weight next year, I promise” “Once I lose this weight my life will be so much better”. I tell myself these small platitudes and for the briefest of moments, I truly believe them. I think I want to believe them because we’re so conditioned to believe that our worth is tied to our outward beauty.

Bodies Are Just Bodies
A state of grace, acceptance and positivity, in regard to my body, has taken many years; in fact, most of my life. I have been a fat kid. Then a shy, much thinner teenager with low self-esteem and social anxiety. An exotic dancer, as a young adult in my early twenties. A victim of domestic violence and narcissistic relationships by late-twenties, which led to a stress-induced, borderline eating disorder. I became a single mother at age thirty-one. Then a yoga teacher at age thirty-nine. I have had my ups and downs with being comfortable in my body. So, I feel qualified to talk about this.

PMDD: The Horror
The Horrors of PMDD When I first learned about PMDD, which stands for premenstrual dysphoric disorder, it was introduced to me in a pharmaceutical commercial. I honestly thought that they either created this as a made up disorder or a heightened version of PMS to sell their drugs. Also, when I first learned what PMS was, it was by a girlfriend at camp who told me it gives you cramps and lowers your mood right before you get your menstrual cycle. I honestly was not worried and I thought it would never affect me like it was some rare thing. What I didn’t know was that I would be rudely awakened by the strongest affects of PMDD symptoms.
