Yesterday, I found myself mulling about expectations. I had read this article in Newsweek about the rage against fatness in the U.S. (I first saw it linked from Lesley at Fatshionista), and thought about the article’s main conclusion that people basically enjoy being angry, and having a target for their anger (even if some of [...]

I’m just not used to being happy. Thank you, depression. I like being happy… but it messes with my blog writing mojo. I’m going to have to learn to work with the happiness… My best posts seem to spring out of my most difficult times. When things are going really good for me, I [...]

This week I am on vacation and determined to do nothing productive… so, I forgot the open thread yesterday! Whoops! Better late than never… Hubby is out of town. I chose to stay behind to take care of our stray. Last week hubby tried to capture Mr. Orange, but ended up with a bloody knee [...]
My Stupid Racist Family Part II
Posted in Rants, tagged racism on August 23, 2009 | 13 Comments »
For those of you who missed out on part I, click here. In summary, my mother said my cousin wasn’t invited to any family function in the future (such as the family reunion) because she has a black partner and two biracial children (black and white). I told her this was racist… drama ensued… Today [...]

Being a recovery goddess brings with it a certain amount of responsibility. It takes a certain type of person to be a recovery goddess (mind you, not a recovery FAIRY but a recovery goddess). It takes flair, gumption, spunk, patience and objectivity. There’s a certain maturity that comes with being a recovery goddess. The open [...]

I’m going to ramble a bit about all the stuff I’ve been up to and hope that it will circle back to acceptance and/or related topics. Wish me luck… As some of you may have already read in a comment that I posted, I got that bookstore job. Monday through Friday was exhausting with [...]

The title says it all. Please, please, please…if you want to show yourself the ultimate in love, WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT! When I started the Intuitive Eating process I was encouraged to wear clothes that fit. That sounds so simple and yet if you don’t pay attention, you’ll wear the wrong size and throw your whole [...]

I spoke to AGR today and told her that I really thought I should be taken off this blog. I told her I had no time, the job was killing me and that I just didn’t feel “recovered enough” to post anymore. I told her that I felt like I should be much better at [...]
