I’m very pleased to welcome you to Weightless, a blog about body image, the skinny fad and freedom from numbers.

Weightless is about well-being, not weight; about fostering body image, regardless of your size. It’s about exposing women’s magazines, other mediums and so-called experts, when they’re touting unhealthy tips and promoting restrictive standards.

The goal of Weightless is to help women develop a better body image and work toward accepting themselves as they are, while being healthy and happy (fad diets and skinny-mini standards prohibited!); and to become sharp consumers, who can pick apart a commercial or magazine article and know which advice is helpful or harmful.

You can learn more about the blog and what it plans on covering here.

Our blogger is a long-time writer for Psych Central, Margarita Tartakovsky. Her writing career began unofficially in second grade when she composed her first-ever essay on Cinderella (her mom still has it), several months after emigrating from Russia. Officially, Margarita began freelancing after graduating with an MS in clinical psychology from Texas A&M University. You can learn more about Margarita here.
