I’m here - not on the diet band wagon and no plans to. Just slowly (key word) trying to figure out how to eat well while not waking the diet demons. It’s a juggling act.

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 [...]

Geneen Roth suggests food journaling as part of the Intuitive Eating process. That freaks me out. But The Rotund’s recent “flogging” has put that journaling thought once again in my head.
I have decided that although writing down the food I eat makes me feel queasy and a bit “diety in the head” that [...]

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 [...]

Z and I had a fun day of shopping, riding a 2 level carousel (or “carouself” as she calls it), and sharing a bowl of ice cream. As we watched the carousel go around and around, we enjoyed spoonfuls of dulce de leche and brownie ice creams. Yum.
With several possible bites left in the [...]

JetBlue has a TV for every seat (loved that!). I watched a lot of the Food Network which was a first for me. I think I’ll check out some of those shows more regularly. Z enjoyed watching all of the meal prep as well.
Special K’s protein water ad was aired several times. [...]

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 [...]

Would it be a slippery slope if I wrote down foods that make me feel healthy and well? Would that make me automatically reject them and choose crap that makes me feel bad? I lean towards yes - I am that messed up in my head that it just may make me head [...]
