Societal pressures to be thin are rising, however, research for eating disorders continues to be under-funded and insurance coverage for treatment is inadequate.”

this is soo important and so sad at the same time! everyone is beautiful, no matter what shape or size you are!
I found an old diary of mine, from when I was 9, and how even then I didn’t feel good enough, and thought I needed to loose weight. It’s horrible that girls even younger than that, now, are thinking those same things.

Healthy Yet Very Edible Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe!
Tired of healthy recipes that taste like bathroom cleaner? Yeah, me too. This banana chocolate chip muffin is so delicious that you won’t believe it’s made from mostly healthy ingredients. I made this today and my mom and dad loved it. Plus it doesn’t have obscure ingredients. Yay :D Yields 12 muffins at 100 calories each.
Ingredients
3 small ripe bananas, mashed
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons of greek yogurt
1/4 cup sugar (you can use less if you’re not a sweet tooth OR substitute for a low-calorie sweetener)
1/3 cup applesauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup white flour
2/3 cup whole grain flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (try dark chocolate if you can)Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, blend together sugar and greek yogurt until smooth. Add the applesauce and egg, and blend again. Finally, add in the mashed bananas. Blend away!
3. In another bowl, mix together white flour, whole grain flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
4. Blend the flour mixture into the banana mixture one half cup at a time. Make sure to blend thoroughly.
5. Add in the chocolate chips
6. Spoon the batter into 12 muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes. They’re done when you can poke them with a toothpick and nothing sticks on!

POP Pilates: Perky Butt ‘n Long Lean Legs
I really like this one too. I think Cassey does the leg set on the side longer on the first side… that or I’m stronger on the second side!
I love leg circles because I always see results very quickly. The in towards the body swimming move on the side is a great idea. I must confess when she said to pulse with my knee bent after that I was about 5 seconds away from screaming “NOOOOO!” But, it was all good!
I love the work on the quads. Mine are so strong from the “Call me maybe” challenge! And I have freakishly strong calves anyway, so being on my toes was no biggie.
Hope you enjoy it too!
