Overall, non-thoughts about my body.
Occasional negative ones…
Almost always, redirecting myself from negative thoughts…
But still not treating my body right with nourishing food and exercise…
A standstill…
Yup. Still….

I’ve gone into lurk mode. Mainly from my phone, too. Reading up on the fatosphere a couple times a week
My skin has been breaking out like mad for several months so I am working on prepping my mind to try some things nutritionally to see if it helps. We’ll see…

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Friends and I cohosted a baby shower for another good friend today. While cleaning up we were just shootin’ the shit and I mentioned how when someone offers me something I often say no thank you before even considering if I need/want it.
For instance, if I am getting a haircut and the assistant offers [...]

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 [...]
