Angry Gray Rainbows 
First! LOL
Anyhoo… I have some ramblings of my own.
I will start with troll appreciation and a little background. This blog is getting some ridiculous number of hits when a new post goes up. It’s awesome. On the flip-side, with popularity, comes trolls. 😉 However, I am learning to appreciate them. They are teaching me slowly and surely how to cope with the irrational onslaught. As a kid, I was never well skilled at dealing with bullies and I consider this a second chance to learn this crucial skill. I don’t respond to trolls for the most part… but that is the point. I am learning to not let them effect me… to let their comments roll of my back… and to not take any comment overly seriously. Look at me! I’m growing and stuff! Whooo hoooooo!!
In other news… we broke 1,000 comments some time last week. Isn’t that neat??? 🙂 I love watching our lil blog grow. Thank you everyone for joining us for the ride!
Yay for learning to deal with trolling! 😀 I too consider it an achievement anytime I read such comments and giggle at them first before wondering at the level of malice behind it. Small victories are indeed still victories in my book!
I love that pic too. Looks like some sort of deep ocean in the back (which I’m thinking must be a mountain top?). But I just want to dive into it and swim around!!
Re the picture — I wish I was there.
Re the trolls — get a life.
Re your blog — wonderful. My glad I’m not thin thought of the day is that I used to have people love to sit next to me on the trains and sprawl all over me. Now they give me dirty looks but I get the seat to myself.
Someone I care about is on a calorie restricitve diet. I feel bad for her and I wish more people would get into IE or something.
Maybe I will try to talk to her after the inevitable rebound. It is sad to see someone I care about restrict food and go through that awful process.
Why do the trolls think you care?
I love the power of not letting the trolls through. 🙂
Congrats on the growth of the blog! It’s well earned!
And the following is just ‘cuz:

I just wanted to share – I am kind of new to body acceptance (& I don’t always do so well with myself). BUT…I did have an interesting conversation with my husband this weekend. He decided to OH SO INTELLIGENTLY point out that a tall, thin, (quite lovely, actually) woman who we spent the day in proximity to had only consumed small pieces of fruit every 2-3 hours all day (8am-5pm). He alerted me to the fact that if only I were to do such a thing, I would not struggle with the 50 pounds that I complain so often about (& in all fairness, I have been dieting almost the entire 17 years we’ve been a couple). I then proceeded to give him a good lecture about how plenty of 50+ pound women do eat plenty of fruit & exercise & are VERY healthy. (I am not one of them, but God Bless them.) I actually enjoy eating & have struggled with binge eating for many, many years. I also told him that she might very well have had pancakes, bacon & sausage for breakfast for all he knew. I also told him that I was sick of society taking one look at an obese or thin person & assuming they know all there is to know about their lifestyle. I was quite proud of myself for explaining to him about HAES theories and such. He does not agree with me, but speaking up was a monumental move for me. I feel like I gather so much strength from your website & others. Thank you.
Congrats on the blog growth! Have some more smiley faces!

OOO OOO, Me next!
I just got ‘Health At Every Size’ from the library! (I like to try things out before I buy them – call it good business sense)
I’m loving it so far…Intuitive eating sounds like an awesome challenge – I can’t wait to get in touch with my body again and actually enjoy food!
Self-hate is just too hard to keep up. And it’s just not fun.
