Welcome to this blog! Introduction...

Hello to whomever decides to hop on my very first blog!...My name is Christina and I have decided to start a blog based on a recent conversation I had with a fabulous girlfriend...and based on thousands of other conversations I've had about women's bodies, dieting, calorie counts, big thighs, soft tummies, self doubt, body worries, etc, etc...The list goes on and on.

In a quest to change this, I have started a blog...The title speaks to what I hope to do...Interrupt dialogue of food portions, interrupt self criticism, interrupt worrying about having a chubby butt, interrupt considering a slew of fad diets, interrupt judgement towards what doesn't fit in the norm (whatever that is), interrupt the unreasonable standard set for women via hollywood, interrupt the dark thoughts that lead too many to eating disorders, and interrupt the intergenerational problem our society is undoubtedly passing along to little girls and boys everywhere. I feel very concerned about kids growing up in a Society that values such self-debilitating, mindless, and soulless ethics.

I am committed to being on here weekly, gabbing about interesting/upsetting/odd conversations I've had about the topics at hand, adding intriguing and/or empowering articles and challenging myself and any other women and men who want to do that with me to think outside the scary box that is ingrained in our society.

I feel excited about this blog and what it stands for! I hope at least some people will join me/challenge me/enrich me...or whatever the case may be.

That's all for now.

Cheers,
Christina :)

  1. I love your blog! I can't wait to contribute to it regularly. Getting ready for my wedding madness, I am confronted all of the time - via media but also peers - wondering if I'm currently dieting for the big day? Huh? I'm about to commit my life to someone. Who gives a shit if I'm 5 pounds heavier or lighter.
