About the foods I eat. Not in a diet way but in a “I want to feel better, have more energy” way.
Doing a lot of reading and being very careful in allowing the info I read be just that - info - not gospel, not some unbreakable rules that will drive me over the edge.
I’m [...]

I have a weekend conference next week and the fam is coming along since it’s in beautiful Monterey. I just realized the hotel has an indoor pool and I know Z would love that. So she not only needs a new bathing suit but I am 99% sure I need one as well. [...]

Morality and food. I thought I was past this and didn’t give it much thought but with all of the HAES/FA talk in the fatosphere as of late, I realize this is my biggest block with treating HAES in my mind the way it is meant to be treated (i.e., without all of my [...]

The block I am having with HAES is the guilt I feel about not practicing it to the best of my ability. And, the thing is, guilt shouldn’t even be associated with HAES in that fashion in the first place.
What is it about me that makes me feel guilty with how I am as [...]

Sometimes I feel like I am barely any better off than I was 6 months ago.
I realize that is not 100% true but I sure wish I was more ahead with body acceptance and IE. I wish I was at a mental place where thinking about HAES doesn’t make me a little nuts in [...]

I think I gained a bit of weight from our trip to Maine. I really don’t know if that is a fact - I am not weighing myself and my jeans fit fine. But my face looks bigger to me.
It makes me grumpy.
I am not at risk of giving up IE and jumping [...]

I finally got around to watching Penn & Teller’s Bullshit! show on obesity after reading about it on a couple of blogs. We actually get Showtime because of DH’s work (they pay for it - woot!) but I have never seen this show. I think I am going to let Tivo know that [...]

Last week DH and I took little Z to her first political rally.
The speeches were incredible and it was just a great, powerful experience. Z did amazingly well, being a 2 year old and all.
Oprah’s speech was strong and moving. Not only was I wowed by her words but I also couldn’t help [...]

I think at least 10 times have I seen that this is a search term for how someone finds my blog (probably because of this post).
Who are these people wanting to know a way to ask a person their clothing size?? What is their purpose to gain this information? What will they do [...]

Still making crappy food choices. Not always but often enough. And I’m not feeling guilty because they are “bad” but because they make me feel tired and slow. I am somehow stuck here right now. I’d like to move beyond it. An occasional food/meal that makes me feel like yuck [...]
