“I’m baby-stepping down the hall, I’m baby-stepping into the elevator . . . “ What’s that? You haven’t seen What About Bob? What’s WRONG with you?! Go now! Rent it! Watch it! I’ll wait!
Are you back? Good.
Every time I read a study telling me something new, I feel like a failure all over again. Rational? [...]

What Are You Getting Out of Your Situation?
Posted in Body Image, Cognitive Dissonance, Disordered Eating, Emotional health, Mental health, Recovery, Self-Esteem on April 27, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Some years ago I heard a speaker say that whatever situation you were in, if you weren’t changing it, you were getting something from it. If you’re not losing weight, you’re getting some sort of positive reinforcement for not losing. If you’re exercising too much, you’re getting something out of it. If you’re drinking, if [...]
The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

(Apologies to Judith Viorst.)
Sooooo, yeah. That whole Secretaries’ Day thing? Bad. Scene.
Our bosses sent all the secretaries to lunch at the country club today. And the food issues were fine. I ate what I felt good about, and what sounded good, and there were no issues – thank you to everyone who commented with recommendations about bringing extra [...]
Thinking hard. (Oh, go ahead, say it: “Or Hardly Thinking.” You know you were thinking it.)

I’m still refining the “New Me.” I’ve started making some changes already, but I’m still refining other parts of her/me.
I was at the bookstore the other day and found something like this tracker on the bargain rack. Not that exact one, but something similar. It had a few useful things in it, but it also had [...]
SO. EXCITED.

Lately, as I wrote before, I’ve been trying to “build a better mousetrap Marste.” I’ve been thinking a LOT (probably to the point of navel-gazing) about who I want to be, blah, blah, blah. Keep that in mind.
I keep thinking that I need to run intervals. Everything I read says they’re good for me. Everything [...]
I’m So Blown Away I Can’t Even Think of a Post Title

I don’t watch reality shows. Frankly, I hate them: the humiliation quotient is just too high, and I find that more often than not they just upset me.
But I logged into a Fat Acceptance blog today (I read them semi-regularly, but always faithfully when I feel bad about my body – they’re a helpful reset [...]
Gone to Ground
Posted in Body Image, Cognitive Dissonance, Disordered Eating, Emotional health, Fitness, Mental health, Physical health, Random Subjects, Recovery, Relationships, Self-Esteem on April 13, 2009 | 12 Comments »
I seem to have gone to ground the last several days (not to mention the week that I was gone). I’m not 100% sure why, although I know some of it. For a while I was really struggling not to just sabotage myself completely, struggling not to binge and starve and sleep. I’m not sure [...]
Sometimes My Life is Completely Surreal
Posted in Uncategorized on April 8, 2009 | 8 Comments »
I’m back from Vegas, baby! It was fun, it was long, and I was glad to come home. Five nights in a hotel is a LOT of nights.
I don’t talk about my job a whole lot here – it doesn’t exactly fit in with the usual topics, and frankly I wouldn’t want to run the [...]
