Earlier today, I learned it was International Blogging Against Racism Week, thanks to Debbie at Body Impolitic. As a white mom of a bi-racial child, I wonder about what to tell my daughter (who is 4) about race and racism. Up until now, I’ve done a few low-key things, such as making sure her dolls [...]

Healthy or heavy? Cuz… ya know… you can’t have any fat on your body and still be healthy. For example, look at the woman in the ad. She’s very thin. She even put on a bikini to make sure that the scale didn’t add in the weight of clothes. And, she is STILL horrified by [...]
Looking For Myself… and Maybe Finding Her… Maybe…

I seriously love books. When I first met hubby, I joked to him that I had a book infestation in my apartment and when I turned on the light books would go scampering under the bed or in the closet like cockroaches. To try to avoid books taking over every surface and stacks climbing the [...]
My fat self

“Losing weight won’t make you any prettier or more desirable.” If someone said that to you, would you believe them? I think I might. At the moment, my weight has declined a bit, and it feels as though something essential about me is being lost. I am hanging in there with this temporary disequilibrium of [...]

Happy Wednesday and Open Threadiness! If I could, I’d climb into my monitor and go through that door… I’m a total fantasy nerd. I just know there’s some medievalish land with dragons and stuff on the other side… –AngryGrayRainbows
Imprisoned by fear

Have you ever done something that hurt you physically or mentally so you didn’t do it again? Because you knew if you did it again it would hurt again? I have come to the realization I have done that about “movement” and because of that, I’ve become imprisoned by fear….fear of movement. I work in [...]
Silence Truly Is Golden…. who knew…!

I have ADD. ADHD… whatever. I tend to leave out the “H” part, because my brand of the disorder tends to leave me drained and merely spinning in my brain. To others, I may seem lazy, lethargic or fatigued a lot of the time…. which some small and unpredictable bursts of actual physical hyperness. It’s loads of [...]

Nope, I’m still not religious. I do like to take what I find useful from whatever paths I run across. However, I will admit that I have found Buddhism particularly useful in my learning to become more accepting of self (and fat), recovering from eating disorders and recovering from years of abuse. Recently, I have [...]

“You wont feel nothin till you feel… You feel the power, just the power of love” — Huey Lewis and the News, “Power of Love.” Last week, PhD Coachy (my therapist of about two years) gave me a homework assignment. “Reflect on your power,” he said, “write about it, meditate on it, dance about it, [...]
