I went to a new doctor yesterday who I really liked. She actually sat down with me, asked me tons of questions, and made sure I was all set before heading to the next client. I haven’t received that kind of service from a medical doctor in years.
The one sucky thing - my [...]

Here I Am
Posted in Body Acceptance, Body Image, Disorded Eating, Fat Acceptance, Inspiration, Intuitive Eating on December 4, 2007 | No Comments »
Still working on my various books and added another to the mix (see comments - DH got it as one of his wedding anniversary gifts for me).
I feel like I am in sort of a stand still. Occasionally having bad body thoughts, visiting some IE/FA blogs, doing my reading a bit per day… [...]
November Goals

I’d like to have some goals this month. I am a bit nervous doing this given my Should Addiction but I am aiming on simply keeping these goals, not musts.
Thanks to Spiritwolf (Bliss Chick), I hinted to my DH that I wanted this book and guess what he surprised me with? Hurrah!
Also read [...]

Where should I be at this point in my Intuitive Eating/Body Acceptance journey? It’s been roughly two months and I was hoping to be a bit more zen by now. Alas, maybe even a wee bit of zen doesn’t jive with my personality.
My Internal Caretaker has been popping in and out. As [...]
You Do Not Ask A Woman Her Dress Size

I had a random memory last night. When I was 11, I was a junior bridesmaid in my oldest cousin’s wedding. It was my first wedding since my mother married my stepfather when I was 3. I was beyond thrilled to be measured for my bridesmaid dress and was really in to [...]
Let’s Discuss Exercise
Posted in Body Acceptance, Body Image, Disorded Eating, Fat Acceptance, Pilates, Workouts, Yoga on October 2, 2007 | 10 Comments »
In my quest to shed the shoulds, I am also looking at my erratic relationship with exercise. My disordered eating and body image wonkiness (minus some typical teenage stuff) did not begin until I was 22, newly moved to LA, and just becoming interested in working out. I really got in to workout [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
