Haesel posted an interesting post to her blog I feel too nervous to wear suspenders in public about wearing suspenders in public, and memories of suspenders. I am including it here despite the fact that I don't know how she likes to licence her blog....

I feel too nervous to wear suspenders in public
Too bad... Because I have such positive associations from childhood (pre-9 y.o.) about them. Recently I keep thinking about an event from when I was somewhere between 5-7 y.o. and my Grandma had bought a wonderful set of rainbow suspenders with a matching belt, all rolled up in a transparent plastic case... They were for me to give to another girl at a birthday party I was going to. And I wanted them so much I cried and tried to convince her to give them to me and felt so terrible that she wanted me to give away the most wonderful gift I'd ever seen or ever wanted... I still want them! Anyway, I was scratching around today, trying to find a belt for these jeans (they've been worn so many times without washing that they've become really loose around the waist- yuck!) Anyway, then I went to Toumbi's closet and found THESE!

Why This is here

2006-11-13T15:55:00.000-08:00

This blog was created because Robin Higgins, who I know from the Kootenay Shambhala Meditation Centre, Selkirk Dissability Services, and Salmo Community Services, suggested that a blog about positive body image would be a good idea.

From there, I decided that I could set this up. So that people could post to it. So that people, including myself can find things to post to it, or just post what is going on with them. This of course is a slow process. Somewhere you might find an article that you'd like to see posted here. Or maybe you want to post something here yourself. Send me an email at jessica.rasku@gmail.com, or you could post dirrectly (attributed to me) through the dirrect post address that I have created at jrasku.possitive-body@blogger.com. I would prefer to have other people posting to this personally through their own account on blogger. I can send you an invite.

Currently I'm the only person who is able to post, as I'm the only member. But I've invited a few people here. If you would like me to invite some other people I really would apreciate that.

That's a bit about what this blog aims to do. Hopefully Robin and her clients will be able to post in short order.

Food, and keeping it where it belongs...

2006-11-02T16:05:00.000-08:00

I have had a really good while with my food. Eating healthy stuff. Keeping it down. This has been really important. I know it's about honouring myself. Taking care of myself. And not fearing what is going to happen if I don't do things absolutely how they "should" be done. Sure some times I've been eating too much at once. I don't know about my weight. I don't pay much attention to it. Having moved back in with my parents means that things are going to change. I hope this is short term. I think my parrents feel the same way. So, I'm off to cook some squash and maybe some other stuff...

Intorduction to positive body

This is a blog about positive body image. It was created as a shared blog. Anyone who wants to join the blogging community here can contact me at jrasku@armispiansystems.ca or post a comment on this blog. This blog also has a mail list of the posts and comments (not guaranteed to be clean, but everything that gets posted on the blog should show up there) at mailman at Armispiansystems. This blog was created out of a conversation with my dissability worker at Selkirk College, and now it's here.
