It was just one of the posts I had not gotten around to amidst the snot running amok in my house. Wow, am I glad it won and am I glad I read it. This is amazing. I am speechless, and that does not happen often. I hadn’t read it until now. It was just one of the posts I had not gotten around to amidst the snot running amok in my house.

What I discovered was that it is not easy to speak from the heart about an uncomfortable topic and The Kitchen Witch did it magnificently. It is scary to know that it takes so little to fuck us up when we are young and impressionable. Anyway, big congrats, you deserved this award. As for all the other posts?? What fun I had reading all of your deep inner thoughts. I am glad that we have more opportunities to go there now. When I have the time I will revisit all of you and make sure that I follow you or to help me speed up our budding relationship please come to my website http://isdisnormal.com and say hello!! Thank you Sarah and Jen, you rock!!! This challenge was incredibly insightful and I am so glad that I was a part of it.

Thanks for reminding me of yet ANOTHER fear I have for my kids. ;) Seriously, this post is such a good reminder, Kitch, of why I cannot afford to be a freak about food and exercise. Because yeah, I am too. I have let my kids see weeks where all I'll eat are slim fast shakes while I bake cookies for them. I've let them see me get all excited about losing 2 fucking pounds or be in a bad mood for gaining 2. The only thing I do right in this department is let them see me exercise every day. And I have all boys. But that's just as scary, because they'll pass on this idea of women's body image to their future girlfriends and wives. So yeah. I'm going to stop eating lettuce while they eat spaghetti. Thank you. Shoot.

So many good posts to choose from, but this one absolutely embodies the spirit of daring writing, of stretching.... And as I re-read it, I am struck how deeply this resonates with me, mothering three boys. I consider my own body image, and what they absorb from me, and what they come to understand about femaleness/maleness. Two sides of the same coin. Thanks for taking a chance, TKW. Thanks for hosting this, Jen and Sarah. And thanks to everyone who had a drink (or not), took a deep breath, and wrote. Good choice.

You so deserve the win. I am still taken aback by the brave writings so many did. I also was taken back in time as I read your words. Not myself, but the sorority house in college. The bathroom was not a pretty place. You could always hear someone vomiting in there. Thank you to all of you who wrote, beared your souls, discussed your fetishes and loves. TKW – Congrats!

I am amazed and astounded and in awe of this post. I still struggle with disordered eating and have become very active in To Write Love On Her Arms (www.twloha.com) because it seems like our girls are so vulnerable and I have to do something - SOMETHING - to protect mine, and anyone else's that I can. Sharing a post like this one is another great way, and so I shall. I was slammed with deadlines last week and am just now getting time to read through the half-drunk entries.
