I had an especially rough visit with my mother today. She was a good mom and she’s a great grandma but I still have issues with her/my childhood (heh, don’t we all?). And I don’t like how she deals with conflict or how she can “get” with conflict. It’s too much for [...]

A Fear of Hunger
Posted in Intuitive Eating on August 29, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I think I am frightened of being hungry. If I listened to my body, I have a feeling that I would eat mini meals throughout the day similar to this. I actually did that on Body for Life, my most successful stab at a diet. And BFL was a failure because I [...]
Well That Hit The Spot
Posted in Body Image, Inspiration, Intuitive Eating, Pilates on August 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I read through the first two months of postings on Good with Cheese and felt inspired. I got off my duff and did a pilates workout. Z and I then went to the park and had a great time.
Surrounding myself with healthy discussion of IE/body image, etc… is something I should try and [...]
Not Sure What I Am Doing With Myself
Posted in Inspiration, Intuitive Eating on August 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’m at a loss right now. I am feeling pretty unmotivated. Z’s birthday was great and this past weekend was packed with activities/work. But both yesterday and today I have felt blah and uninspired. Enjoying my little Z but all the while being haunted with weight loss/diet/IE/etcetera thoughts.
I don’t know what [...]
A Quick Post

Today is Z’s second birthday. Happy birthday little Z!!
I lost a 1/2 pound this week (189 lbs). If I was on a diet I would have been so bummed. But since I’m doing my best to eat intuitively, I was quite pleased to see any sort of loss (and no gain). So yippee skippee. [...]
Tolerate Discomfort

I got a “Normal” Eating blog post in my inbox today that provided some food for thought. What sacrifices am I willing to make here? The idea of sacrifice gives me a knot in my stomach and almost feels like a trigger word. How do I sacrifice and not let it trigger [...]
Goals! Goals! Goals!

Things are going well for my mini-goals so far. This morning I did Lotte Berk Hip Hugger Abs and also walked for 45 minutes. The park that I walk at has a large loop and a smaller one. Two large loops and one small loop equal a 5K. I have been doing [...]
And So It Goes
Posted in Cooking, Weigh In on August 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I weighed in at 189.5 pounds this morning. At 5′ 3 1/2″, that is not a healthy number to see.
Moving on…
So far so good with the goals I set out for myself the other day. And I just ordered a used version of Eat Fresh, Stay Healthy from Amazon. I got the [...]
To Weigh Or Not To Weigh
Posted in Uncategorized on August 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
That is the question.
I have mixed feelings here. I fully believe that the scale can lie and I also feel that it is just a tiny tool out of many. My reaction to the number on the scale varies, even though there have been many times I have tried to be neutral. [...]
OK, Let’s Do The Goal Thing
Posted in Diet Plans, Goals, Intuitive Eating, Pilates on August 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I am not calorie counting or following a published plan made up by someone else. Structured plans scare me, even when I try and tell myself I can tweak them to suite me. I wish it wasn’t the case because life would be so much easier. But it is.
However, trying to lose [...]
