Family "Fun"

Mon, 19 Nov 2012 06:11:00 -0800

What do you people want from me? Some people say YOU are your harshest critic, if that’s true, then family runs a close second and they are NEVER happy!
I know, I know, be true to yourself and screw the rest of the world. Easier said than done.
My family is completely ...

Where Have You Been, Young Lady?

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:25:00 -0700

I smile because it’s expected, I go because I must, I hold it together because it’s what I’ve always done. Does it make me a liar to smile when I don’t mean it? 2012 has not been kind to me and mine. January
We were supposed to move back to my childhood ...

Am I Really Hungry?

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:43:00 -0800

My sons’s peanut butter crackers are calling my name. They say, "come on, we’re a light snack you can count us as your breakfast!" But I already had a mint cookie protein shake for breakfast, I argue. Their taunts continue, "So you had a big dose of protein, have a ...

Body Image II (follow up from group discussion last night)

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:39:00 -0800

Last night’s group topic was body image, my thoughts kept going long after the group was dismissed and here are some of my thoughts. I’m not really a fan of the new office shrink. I don’t know what it is about her, but something about her just rubbed me the wrong ...

Body Image

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:27:00 -0800

I’ve heard it said, or at least read, people can walk by mirrored surfaces and not recognize themselves. It’s happened to me, but only once or twice, on days I was looking especially thin and pretty. I tend to remove myself from past unpleasantness, not to the degree of ignoring it, ...

Changes in the Brain-Pan

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 10:43:00 -0700

When I started this journey, I thought I knew what to expect. I thought I was so prepared for everything. I saw so many pitfalls from other people’s journeys and felt as I was armed with this knowledge of things that could happen, I could avoid it. For the most ...

Un-Welcome Food Nazis

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:15:00 -0700

I find I am still intensely emotional about food. I hate it when people (ones I don’t know well or at all) come up to me when I’m eating and ask what it is. Not because I’m afraid they’ll ask for some and take it away, though that does annoy ...

The Difference A Year Can Make

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 05:23:00 -0700

Holy Crap! I just got weighed and measured at the gym. They also gave me my results from a year ago and the difference a year has made is unbelievable, if I wasn’t living in this body I wouldn’t believe it to be possible. I think I’m still in shock, ...
