Find Your Fill Elsewhere

December 8, 2011

My history with binge eating is long, sordid, and something that I never acknowledged until a couple of years ago. I just thought I ate a lot - I never took the time to identify that I was using food to feel better emotionally, while making me worse off physically. The last 2 days, I made ...

Lightbulb from Richard Simmons

09.22.2011

This week has been insanity for me, and I’m so ready for the weekend! I read this article earlier in the week and bookmarked it to share here because I read it with tears going down my face (and not wearing waterproof mascara- mistake). It is from Richard Simmons. I don’t care if you think …

You Are Never Alone (Mental Matters, Part 2)

09.04.2011

I’ve had a draft post started as an update to my last “Mental Matters” post where I talked about my history of depression, anxiety and plan of seeking more assistance for it. It’s languished in my “drafts” folder for two weeks as I simply didn’t want to write anymore about having depression. It’s painful to …

Overdose of frustration

08.21.2011

Blah. Writing this in a full-belly haze. Pardon the rambling, as always. I have been living in a bubble. Of course, it’s a clear bubble beacuse I am so transparent about everythng I’m thinking. (Some might call it oversharing, I call it transparent). I suppose it could be like the bubble boy, only the bubble blogger, …

Out of Hiding

07.13.2011

I’m a recovering food hider. In my former fat life, I would go through a drive-thru and pick up enough food to feed a family of 4. Literally. You know how it seems impossible to go to Taco Hell and eat more than $5 worth of tacos? I could throw down $15 there, easily. I would …

Email for the Soul

06.16.2011

Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do. I’ve been slightly emotional lately. Not bad emotional, just a little bit nostalgic. I’ve gotten some really amazing, kind words written and spoken to me …

What Support Means to Me

04.19.2011

The past couple of months have been difficult along this personal weight loss and fitness journey. Between dealing with pain during training, completing a half-marathon and turning 30 during a bout of the post-race blues, at times it has felt like a losing battle. What has been the difference in turning that losing battle into a …

Freedom Week

04.10.2011

This week, I had a rest week. I looked forward to this week during half marathon training: the week where I could just not do anything and take it easy so I could start a new training program the following week. I expected to feel some sort of freedom: time without forcing myself to work out …

Acceptance

04.04.2011

Can I be honest? (I always am here, LOL). I’ve had a rough day. Yesterday, I did something that my mind knows should be incredible. But I don’t feel incredible. I have been flooded with the most wonderful messages of support and loveliness through Twitter, comments here, and Facebook. My sister surprised me with some beautiful earrings …

Fattie Gets Fit

06.07.2010

Note: I originally wrote this post to be a guest post on someone elses blog. After thinking about it, I decided that MY blog is the right place to post it. I haven’t ever flat out said my weight on the blog. I can’t believe I’m about to post it, but you guys have taught …
