In a Good Place
I always dread when people say, "You must feel so much better having lost 70 pounds!" (Okay 69.5) I would have to lie and say that I do. I didn't. While I could get between cars in a parking lot, bend over and tie my shoes, I didn't feel better. I hurt—every joint. My whole… Continue reading In a Good Place
Don’t tell me the scale doesn’t matter!
Health coaches and fitness coaches, this post is for you. Don't tell fat people that the scale doesn't matter. It does. It matters--specifically to me. I spent my life hearing snide remarks, the backhanded compliments, and the insults about my weight.

Perfect with Imperfection
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Carl Rogers, psychologist/humanist. I was reading in one of my FB groups, and someone wrote something about self-love being great and all, but what if you can never love yourself. Wow…this statement shook me to the core. I… Continue reading Perfect with Imperfection
Extended Weekend Day 2
Yesterday was actually far busier than I expected. I was up at 5 and walked the four-mile route. It is sweltering, and we are getting some humidity. So, I was exhausted by the time I was finished. I made breakfast, blogged, and then I napped. I dropped by to see some friends. We had a… Continue reading Extended Weekend Day 2
