I am honored and thrilled to be the featured blogger of the Secret in The Sauce blogging community!
SITS is a super-supportive, fun, friendly and just plain wonderful group that I suggest you join too!
I know that most women have, at some point in our lives, despaired over weight or size, obsessing over self-destructive “I hate my thighs” thoughts. I know that many of us develop terrible relationships to food, to exercise, and to our very own bodies because of the endless pressure to be thin, thinner, thinnest!
Enough already!
I am a teacher, a mother, and an artist whose personal experiences and scribblings in a journal have evolved into a book, a blog and a belief that even one minute spent hating our own bodies is a sin, a shame and a personal disaster.
I believe in health and happiness at all sizes.
I believe that we should love, respect and admire all the amazing sizes, shapes, colors and ages that women come in.
You won’t find any diet plans, lifestyle changes, visualization techniques, boring statistics or sad stories here, because I also believe that short & sweet, fun & cute are sometimes the very best ways to deal with the serious things that bother us.
My blog is filled with original illustrations and writings as well as rough drafts, doodles and rambling thoughts on body image, self-esteem, and learning to like the skin you’re in.
Take a look around, leave a comment anywhere you’d like!
Here are a few posts to get you started:
Rubenesque,or Even Goddesses Have Cellulite
Fat Jeans/Skinny Jeans, or A Very Silly Question
True Dimensions, or How Do You Measure Yourself?
Dream On, or Rockin’ the Big Dream
Food for Thought, or That Dark Conversation in Your Head
I hope I make you smile!

Happy SITS Day, I will be looking around as I have 2 girls and am one myself. I’m generally happy about my body but I have days. I’m very careful that I never say anything negative about the way I’m shaped though.
Thanks
Happy SITS day to you! Love your site. Have a great week!
Hi Elizabeth:

Here from SITS! I love your self-esteem homework assignments. Great idea! Hope you’ve had a fun day being the Queen of SITS!
Happy SITS day! I want to applaud you for your gorgeous sketches & blog! I feel the same way! We are all beautiful no matter what our body type. We were all made to be different & we should love ourselves for who we are not our size. (((HUGS)))
Happiest of SITS days to you! Hope you enjoyed your moment in the spotlight!
What a great blog you have here, so much fun information.
Happy SITS day! You deserve it
Hey Gal! It’s me again! I just wanted to say thank you. I don’t know what it is about the google followers thing, I’m just more comfortable with that. I do also follow on Facebook, but not as often. I’m also on twitter, but I don’t like it because as you can see I like to talk, and unfortunately, twitter is not set up for “wordy” people like me. I spend more time deleting and revising when I’m on twitter than anything. I think I am on your twitter follower’s list also. I cover all bases, but I mostly like going from blog to blog and commenting. That way they know I have actually been to their site and read at least one post if not more. What can I say, I’m just quirky.
God Bless!
