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 [...]

Ever since I wrote my November Goals post I have had many moments of over eating (and knowingly over eating, always aware of what I am doing). I have not touched any of the books I wanted to read and have not worked out.
Granted, I was sick all last week. My Internal Caretaker [...]
November Goals
Posted in Body Acceptance, Body Image, Disorded Eating, Fat Acceptance, Hunger, Inspiration, Intuitive Eating, Self-Esteem, Yoga on November 4, 2007 | 1 Comment »
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!
Also read [...]

Where should I be at this point in my Intuitive Eating/Body Acceptance journey? It’s been roughly two months and I was hoping to be a bit more zen by now. Alas, maybe even a wee bit of zen doesn’t jive with my personality.
My Internal Caretaker has been popping in and out. As [...]
You Do Not Ask A Woman Her Dress Size

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 [...]

I am a Should Person. I should myself a lot. I should eat this because it’s healthy. I should workout because I am a fat, lazy slob if I don’t. I should do such and such because I just read that such and such provides so much happiness.
You get the point.
There [...]
A Name Change

So I am reading my new book (thanks for the rec, Good with Cheese!), and it dawned on me that “Zmama Cuts the Crap” isn’t the most loving blog title. So I changed it. Voila.
I am really enjoying the read so far. I also liked their Overcome Overeating book but this one [...]
I Am Finally Going to Blog
Posted in Diet Plans, Intuitive Eating, Self-Esteem on August 11, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I keep thinking about blogging about my struggles with weight, self-esteem, what not. I have been thinking about it for months. I want to have a place to put my thoughts and an old fashioned journal wasn’t working out for me any more. I filled more than 20 from age 12 - [...]
