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 [...]

Holiday Admission
Posted in Body Acceptance, Body Image, Fat Acceptance, Intuitive Eating, Self-Esteem on December 25, 2007 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
My Pants Are Baggy and I Feel Fat
Posted in Body Acceptance, Body Image, Fat Acceptance, Intuitive Eating, Self-Esteem on December 22, 2007 | 2 Comments »
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 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

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!

You Do Not Ask A Woman Her Dress Size
Posted in Body Acceptance, Body Image, Disorded Eating, Fat Acceptance, Self-Esteem on October 4, 2007 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
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 [...]
