*Disclaimer: I wrote this whole thing and then realized that maybe I should have titled it, “Metaphysical Monday” or something like that. It doesn’t have anything to do with my body image or anything else along the usual lines. Today’s post is basically just some emtional upheaval that needed a place to be purged. And [...]

Insert Witty, Insightful Post Title Here
Posted in Emotional health, Fuckwittery, Mental health on July 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »
And that title about sums it up.
I got back Monday afternoon, but haven’t been able to rouse myself to do much since then. I think it’s a combination of exhaustion and the kind of food I was eating while I was in Missouri. My body is all out of whack like WHOA. I just feel sort of stagnant: physically, mentally, emotionally. [...]
See you next week!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the snack ideas. I’m getting ready to get on a plane in a couple of hours, and I don’t know if I’ll have time to post while I’m gone.
I’m really looking forward to seeing my friend, though: we haven’t seen each other face-to-face in 4 years! Holy [...]
Help!

Ok, I’m leaving (*sings* ooooon a jet plane . . . ) town on Wednesday morning. (At 7:00AM!!! Who flies that early?? Well, me, apparently, but seriously! That’s EARLY! Especially since it means I have to be at the airport – which, thank God is close to my house – by 5:30AM!! There is no [...]

I need a giggle.
I really like some of the LOLCats, but this? Cracks. Me. Up.
Now Get Angry

Ok, as promised! Here’s the thing: After that last post, a few people commented or implied (but not in a bad way) that wow, they thought they were ok with themselves . . . but apparently not so much. And it was a LEEEEEETLE TEENY BIT depressing.
I get it. But here’s the thing (again), speaking TOTALLY [...]
Dieting, Health and the $64,000 Question
Posted in Body Image, Eating Disorders, Emotional health, Mental health, Self-Esteem on July 8, 2008 | 20 Comments »
So, here’s the thing: I am staunchly anti-diet-for-weight-loss. Staunchly. Did I mention staunchly? (Wow, that’s starting to not look like a word anymore: staunchly. Staunchly. Staunchlystaunchlystaunchly. Weird. Aaaaaaanyway.)
I know all the reasons people give for dieting, and mostly they seem to boil down to 2 ideas: people want to lose weight “for [their] health” or [...]
Quick Hit and a (Short) Vacation
Posted in Fuckwittery on July 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »
So, I just wanted to say that I’m doing really well on the Hundred Pushup challenge. I’ve started it at LEAST 3 times now. LOL, eventually I’ll get to Day 2!!! (In all honestly, I will eventually finish it: dude, I’d be stoked if I could even do FIFTY!!! That’d be AWESOME! )
In other [...]
Screw Progress, I’ll Take Perfection
Posted in Emotional health, Mental health on July 1, 2008 | 12 Comments »
Ok, well I’m not really serious about the perfection thing. Well, I mean, I AM, but I know I won’t get it. (Right? No chance? Are you sure? Damn.)
I am a SERIOUS perfectionist. I’ve gotten a lot better over the last few years, but it’s that part of me that adheres SO RIGIDLY to a [...]
