Body Bound
You may recall that a couple of years ago during the Deathly Hallows Campaign, we fought the Body Bind Horcrux. That particular Horcrux of that campaign was before my time on staff (by, like, a month), but it was one of the Horcruxes I was most excited to see the HPA fight. And the reason [...]

It Takes a Second Person to Lift the Curse
If you have a problem with your body, please, don’t be too embarrassed to address it. The fact that you are struggling does not mean that you are weak – it means that you are human.

Health in Any Body
I’ve always been a “big girl,” but it was never something that I thought about much. Despite my extra baggage, I was one of the fastest kids on the playground. My family was supportive of my size (because “bigger is better”), and it remained well into high school. My bubble of obliviousness was burst one [...]
