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 [...]

So I watched Rachel and Mo Pie on the Mike and Julie show (I am so out of the loop - are they the alternative Regis and Kelly??). First of all - they did soooo awesome. I would have been shaking in my boots (with anger) at some of the crap that Roth [...]

I have a hard time shopping for clothing. Pants that fit are usually wayyyy too long (I am 5′ 3″ 
and shirts that fit well are rare as well - I am big breasted and usually shirts that fit the girls are too huge every where else.
I am wearing a size 12 pants at [...]

I have to admit, I saw some photos of me that absolutely made me cringe. Shiny, round faced, doubled chin cringe. And my first, instant thought that I had every time was I have to do something about this.
I will be honest and admit that 5 minutes ago I had diet thoughts/fantasies dancing [...]

If I was normal, I would feel thin instead - or just note the
bagginess. But, instead, having my pants be a tad baggy has made me
have Bad Body Thoughts ™. There’s a disordered eater for ya!
On the good news front, I started reading Roth’s Why Weight when I
misplaced my Yoga of Eating book [...]

I finally finished WWSHTB last night. It is definitely my favorite book on IE that I have read so far. I think I am going to reread it sooner than later as well (and hopefully a bit faster this next time - this toddler mama was juggling too many books this fall).
Next on [...]

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 [...]

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… [...]

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 [...]
