PODCAST: “Talking to kids about weight” Naked Broad View, EPISODE 7

by Marilyn McKenna

The experts offer conflicting advice about whether or not we should talk to kids about their weight, but either way only good things come of helping kids foster a positive relationship with their bodies. Teaching kids to love and appreciate their bodies for what they can do and how beautiful they are is the best way to pass […]

PODCAST: “Fat Shaming” Naked Broad View, EPISODE 6

by Marilyn McKenna

Why is it still okay to shame people about being fat? Is it really just because we think they’re unhealthy? But what do we really know about someone else’s health?  Listen in as Jill and Marilyn talk about the prevalence of this phenomenon and how destructive it is, not so much to the person being […]

Eeny, meeny, miney … go!

by Marilyn McKenna

A couple of my closest friends started Whole30 this week. I just ran into another friend who told me she ordered the 21-Day Fix system to lose weight. And every seat’s taken in my favorite spinning class. Seems everybody’s renewed a commitment to healthy living recently! In many ways it doesn’t even matter what program […]

At that moment it occurred to me that I’d just transferred my sense of okay-ness from “I’m bad because fat = bad” to “I’m good because thin = good”. But shouldn’t we be striving […]

In our skinny-obsessed world, bigger isn’t necessarily considered better, even when bigger suits our body-type. I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be a “big girl” lately. In this […]

My big, fat, fabulous struggle with body image

by Marilyn McKenna

It was about six weeks ago something occurred to me that really shook me to my core. I’m a little embarrassed to say that I hadn’t thought of it before. I’ll get to what triggered this epiphany in a sec, but the thought I had was just this: my body image hasn’t really changed since […]
