Because I think it’s important for young women to know that being flawed is truthful and real, and that filtering yourself into someone fictitious is actually damaging to girls’ and women’s self esteem. It’s courageous and beautiful to be real at any age. I realize that fake and filtered sells, but I’m happy over here with my followers who appreciate the difference.”

She writes, “My philosophy on eating & exercise is to do what you can when you can. I choose time with my daughter & sleep first. If I’m near a beach, I take an hour walk. If I have the time, I’ll do a yoga dvd. I don’t believe in fear based, torturous, aggressive exercise.” Frankel also wrote, “Life is too short and stressful to dread doing something for an hour. In addition, extreme exercise creates extreme hunger."
