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 [...]

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 [...]
