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’ve been feeling pretty blah about blogging lately. I don’t feel like I have anything interesting to say, any new insights, not even any new complaints! And I have barely been reading my favorite IE/FA blogs as well.
What’s up with that?

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. [...]

Busy week here so not much time to post. Z and I used a Toys R Us gift card for her this week (she got a hobby horse - wheee!) and while there I saw two toys that made me do a double take. America’s Top Model has a doll now. I [...]

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 [...]

I’m pretty amazed that the fatosphere is all a tizzy talking about HAES. This is exactly the conversation I need to be soaking my feet in. I see myself in many commenters and I also appreciate the wording of HAES done by some. Very eye opening.
Seriously, this massive explosion of discussion could [...]

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 [...]
