I just wanted to write to shower Leah with some lovin’…Leah you ROCK, girl!! I live in Orange County too, and there is SO much pressure here to look like a model. I am so proud that you bared yourself like that.
Thank you so much Mina, people are so comfortable hiding behind the computer screen. Everyone knows somebody, a friend, coworker or neighbor, maybe even a family member who is overweight. I promise you they would never talk about those people the way they talk about me =D
Leah please don’t let those comments on the OCR website get to you. I didn’t bother commenting there because I didn’t want to give those creeps the time of day. I believe in my heart that for every jerk with a rude comment, your photos and that article helped a MUCH larger number of women like you and like me.
Yay! I am so proud of all the mommies on this website and it is so great to see it getting the recognition it deserves! Hopefully it will expand so that every mommy (and woman for that matter) will get a chance to recieve some well deserved acceptance. Congrats Leah! You are awesome for doing that story!

Great article. I’m from the OC and happy to see this is the register!

Brittany, I saw it too! I was kind of disappointed in how small the blurb was though
wish they had elaborated at least HALF a page.
