I am a Should Person. I should myself a lot. I should eat this because it’s healthy. I should workout because I am a fat, lazy slob if I don’t. I should do such and such because I just read that such and such provides so much happiness.
You get the point.
There [...]

Life
Posted in Body Acceptance, Foods I Like, Intuitive Eating on September 26, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Z and I wandered the aisles of the supermarket today because I had no clue what to buy for dinner. Absolutely. No. Clue.
It seriously took me 20 minutes of walking around and eyeing the Life Cereal stand before I succumbed to the fact that Life was the only thing interesting me. [...]
Breakfast

I think it is pretty typical of me to be hungry first thing in the morning. I say “I think” because this is an assumption I have always made. I have not sat down with this assumption every morning, yet, to see how my body feels. Well, until today. Today I [...]
Progress, I Guess?
Posted in Cooking, Foods I Like, Intuitive Eating on September 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I feel like I am making way more progress figuring out foods I do not like (when I had originally thought I did) than foods I actually do like. It is frustrating. Not only did I realize this past week that my “beloved” Starbuck’s pumpkin scones were too sweet for me, but I [...]
Red No. 2, Baby!

I have read about Lane Bryant’s Right Fit jeans in a variety of places. I have only shopped at Lane Bryant for bras in the past. I can still get away with shopping in the women’s section of Target/Old Navy, etc… (yes, I buy inexpensive clothes. I seem to ruin shirts quite [...]
Frustration
Posted in Foods I Like, Intuitive Eating on September 17, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I am finding it difficult to actually know the foods I enjoy. There are so many foods I thought I liked but lately they do not appeal to me. And I am not always respecting that, either. Last night I ate Ben and Jerry’s ice cream even though a few bites in [...]
Just A Quickie

As a self-proclaimed sweet-tooth owner, I am discovering more and more that I am not so in love the treats I thought I would die for. Not saying I don’t like sweets – there are several that still proudly wear the “Zmama Eats Me” button.
But the “I can’t wait for Fall” Starbucks pumpkin scone ended [...]
Blogging In Lip Gloss

I was reading the book my playgroup chose for discussion (we chat about a couple of chapters each week while the kidlets play), until Kate Bush’s This Woman’s Work came on – I instantly put my head down on the armrest and soaked it in. Such beauty in that song.
So I stop reading for [...]
Learning To Move On
Posted in Intuitive Eating on September 10, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I ate a heavy lunch and then two chocolate mochi ice creams this afternoon. And now I feel very gross, with tight pants, and I am feeling pretty mad at myself. I knew the whole time in my head that I wasn’t stopping at satisfied and was just enjoying mouth hunger. [...]
Chocolate. Rejected.
Posted in Intuitive Eating on September 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I usually like to eat something sweet after dinner and it’s normal some sort of chocolate yumminess. Even when dieting, I would typically manage to make sure I was “allowed’ a dessert after dinner (craving one/hungry for one or not).
Last night we had a yummy dinner of spicy green beans and chicken. I [...]
