What’s that about slow & steady?

Day three of my recommitment to my health is going well-ish. I’ve stuck to my diet these past few days, so even though I *just* finished breakfast, I’m still hungry
I’m comitted to staying with my decision, though. So, I’ve resisted many impulses to indulge. I’m trying to keep busy. I’m taking sips of [...]

It occurred to me today that it has been over a year since I’ve lost any weight. I don’t think I can consider myself “the girl who lost more than 70 pounds” anymore. I think, now that a year has passed, I’m now something more along the lines of “the overweight girl whose muffin top looks [...]

Starting small

Since yesterday, I’ve conformed very well to my eating plan. No snacks & lots of coffee to help with hunger pains. I still have a raging headache, though. To combat my noticing this, I’ve kept very busy with an early round of spring cleaning. It feels great to clean out the cobwebs & get rid [...]

Fundamentals

So, I thought starting a new blog would inspire me to get back into my diet & exercise routine. It didn’t. Well, in fairness, when I gave it any thought at all, I was inspired; I just wasn’t motivated enough to follow through.
It’s been tough finding the motivation to exercise regularly & stick to my [...]

A Mental Shift

I was feeling that my past was restricting me too much, so I created a new site to shake up my perspective.

Welcome to the Jungle, pt. 2

When I first started this blog in Dec 2007, I described myself thusly:
“I’m fat. Too large to sit comfortably in a seat at the opera; and, too small to think much at all about my body until I do try to sit in those darn seats. And then I look around & realize nearly everyone else can set their purses [...]

BFFs

Tomorrow I will fly across the country to visit my best friend. We met 23 years ago, when we were teens. Even though I weighed less than 110 pounds back then AND about 10 pounds less than she did, my weight was something she always fixated on & declared that it was “too much”.
I left [...]

The Next First Steps

I’ve been trying to compose an opening line, but there just doesn’t seem to be any clear way to start. Lately, we’ve explored a lot of family issues. My sisters’ impending arrival looms large because *this time* I want at least one thing to be different: ME.
And I’m not talking about my weight. Yeah, sure, [...]

Shattering the Mold

Lately, I’ve been trying to view myself with a compassionate eye. I try to see myself as my husband sees me: pretty, cute, beautiful, & sexy. I try to view myself as if I was looking at a stranger; what would I see? Objectively, what I see is very different & significantly more pleasing to [...]

Less than a Red-Headed Stepchild

My family has always considered me fat. They gave me a two-worded nickname & the first word was “fat”. Fat has always been a very bad thing to be in my family. Yet, in their eyes, I have always been fat. 
I was a fat baby. I was a fat kid. I was a fat anorexic. I was fat even when [...]
