When I was ten my mother stood in the kitchen with a wooden spoon in her hand and announced that I needed to go on a diet. That was the moment I became a woman. That was the moment I transitioned from being an unselfconscious child to becoming a woman aware of the need to be critical of, in opposition with, and demanding of my body. Mirrors became measures, not of growth, but of my appeal to others. I must not offend. I must be a nice pretty girl. I must be thin. And so began my battle with my body. ~ Georgia Kolias. **Must read of the day on The Manifest-Station. Please share this one. Thanks to SimpleReminders as always. via Jennifer Pastiloff
