As long as I can remember having paid attention to the media, I can remember a woman's weight—or body in general—being a news story.

When I had my first child, I couldn't have prepared for the way it would make me feel.

I don’t think anyone who has been to the spirited child parenting rodeo would call a mother who screams, “bad,” or who loses her temper, a “failure.” I think we all understand parenting is really really hard from the get go, and parenting a kid who won’t sleep, who screams and kicks and says they hate you, is its own challenge

[CN: suicide, overdose] Gratitude stops me from ending my life, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting to end my life. Even the fierce love I have for my family doesn’t mean I don’t feel utterly hopeless sometimes.

You can work your butt off and still be left with a tummy. Bummer.
