Has anyone had experience in talking to their boy about their ED/recovery etc?

I’m having a hard time. He’s shut me down in the past, not really wanting to hear it. But recently he’s been more open and willing to listen, but I instinctively don’t want to talk about it because I feel embarrassed.

I don’t want him to see the broken part of me, but at the same time I want him to understand it.

Help?

I did some research today and then made this lovely piece of informative awesomeness for you guys. Enjoy!

The unfortunate thing is though, if we tried to grow peaches on the land that we currently use to grow grain to feed livestock (which isn’t edible by humans), we’d create another dust bowl.

Yes, in an ideal world, we could use all the farming land to grow healthy fruit and vegetables and feed everyone in the world on a plant based diet. But we have to respect the limits of the land in America, and most of that farm land is naturally prairie grass lands, which means growing summer annuals or small fruits would destroy the root systems and nutrient holding of the soils.

So unless you want to eat perennial ryegrass or some delicious hairy vetch, using those lands for livestock grain is the best practice for keeping those lands alive. And if you care more about the lives of animals than the life of soil, you don’t have your environmental priorities in order.

I would like to share an observation. If we are worried about where little girls are getting outrageous body images, perhaps we should check out THEIR movies.

Here’s Jane from Tarzan. Her waist is as thin as her forearm, and yet she has an enormous ass and big boobs.

Here’s Tinker Bell apparently thinking she’s fat despite the fact that her waist to hip ratio is ridiculous.

And here are the other princesses with equally impossible bodies!

(note that Rapunzel’s waist is smaller than Flynn’s forearm. The sizes of princesses’ waists and hands and such is even worse when they’re compared to their princes, who also suffer from body distortion.)

With the exception of Snow White (who was supposed to be fourteen in her movie) we don’t have a single “princess” with a reasonable body shape that an average girl could achieve. Instead, we have ridiculously distorted and unbelievable body types even worse than our barbies. And that’s not mentioning the way that their faces are drawn with enormous eyes and tiny noses, etc. Of course little girls have incorrect visions of beauty. The princesses we tell them to idolize are victims of a gross lack of realism.

Where’s our average-girl Disney Princess? Where’s our chubby princess? Where is a realistic representation that girls can look up to without being completely shut out by these impossible standards they will never meet?
