532<p>The site’s roster of more than 40 contributors features prominent voices including body image bloggers, psychologists, therapists, poets, dancers, musicians, artists, yogis, martial artists and chefs, all converging on the site to voice unique perspectives in teaching old and young to embrace self-acceptance. Contributors from the eating disorder non-profit community include NEDA, BEDA, ANAD, NAMED, Eating for Life Alliance (ELA), and others.</p>
533<p>WATRD’s mission is to empower girls with a “safe” space to learn about healthy body image, find her voice, and promote media literacy.  The site is a program of the <a href="http://www.normalinschools.org/">NORMAL In Schools</a><a title="Body image blog wearetherealdeal" href="/" target="_blank"> national nonprofit.</a></p>
534<p>We Are The Real Deal (aka WATRD)launched in July 2009 by <a title="Heather Blessington mamaVISION" href="../call-for-contributors/mamav/" target="_blank">Heather Blessington (aka mamaV)</a>. She graciously donated the site to the <a href="http://www.normal-life.org/" target="_blank">NORMAL nonprofit</a> in 2011 to help us further our mission of educating about eating disorders, body image and self-esteem through arts and mindfulness programs.  MamaV encouraged NORMAL CEO and Founder, Robyn Hussa to take the WATRD site to the next level by inviting colleagues from diverse backgrounds; including: the worlds of eating disorders, theatre, music, arts, education, activism and yoga to come together to either write about body image or about healthy ways to cope with stress.  WATRD is now a massive universe launching in March 2012 with an array of perspectives, professional backgrounds and life experiences.</p>
535<p>The goal of this body image focused blog is to provide a space where women of all shapes, sizes, colors, lifestyles, opinions, and beliefs can come together to talk, bang heads, rant and rave.  Here you will hear from a wide range of individuals on the topics of eating disorders, body image, self-esteem, arts, mindfulness, healthy coping and wellness.</p>
536<p>We have built an <a href="../call-for-contributors/">amazing community of contributors</a>, bloggers, and readers who have their heart and soul into being positive about their body image &#8212; and they are achieving it. Are you?</p>
537<p>We are glad you are here. Join us, invite your friends, stop the fat chat, and get on the path to positive body image and self esteem. Surround yourself with people that believe that <a title="Health At Every Size" href="../category/health-at-every-size/" target="_blank">health can be achieved at every size</a>, life is not about the size of your thighs, and a scale is not a necessity.</p>
538<p>This site is completely volunteer driven.</p>
539<p><a href="https://secure.acceptiva.com/?cst=b4add5" target="_blank">You can help us create more of these amazing programs by donating today.  </a></p>
540<p>Get involved.  Save a life.</p>
