Way back when, in January of this year, I went out to dinner with my husband for my last big meal.  I had onion rings and dark beer and pasta? and chocolate cake with raspberry sauce.  It was gluttony at its best.The next day, I woke up and entered my self-created prison of eating restrictions and mandatory 20 minute exercise routines.  It was hell and I did it all in private.  I'm not quite sure how I didn't eat in front of my husband, but I think I even kept it from him.  Read more >

I started the chemo and radiation 13 days ago and today the Caveman noticed  a bald spot on the back of my head.My tumor was on the right side of my head - just behind my ear and behind the area previously covered by my Bluetooth headset.My biggest side effect of this cancer treatment has been my anger and frustration at not operating at a level I expect from myself.My cognition and memory could have been affected but, nothing so far.Each day I get stronger, better and clearer.I KNOW that god had prepared me for this journey.  Read more >

A couple days of no exercise.  Yesterday was an official today off and today turned into a day off and a wonderful day out and about with the family.  It was a day of munching and snacking, but also being outside.  The munching and snacking wasn't processed food or junk food, though it certainly wasn't lentils and spinach.   Read more >

I dreamed about my first blog "A New Day for Fat Girls" last night. It was a happy dream, full of positive vibes. I awoke feeling pretty good, which is a significant improvement over the last few months. Writing that blog made me feel 20 pounds lighter, because of the enormous "swoosh"  of relief that I felt immediately after posting it. Could it be that I want to dream again?   Read more >

Melissa at Married My Sugar Daddy recently got one that pushed all of her buttons and resulted in not only a rant, but a good commentary on how we view mothers. The pitch was for a "mommy makeover," and Melissa brings up a few great points as to why the whole concept is wrong.  Read more

If you're perfectly happy with your body, thank you very much, and if you've never struggled with the issue of body image or self acceptance - well, you probably won't be particularly interested in reading any further. But if you've ever obsessed about your weight, or felt dissatisfied with your looks, or wished you could change something about your body - and I suspect, sadly, that many of you can relate to this - then you just might appreciate these musings.  Read more >

   When I was in my 30's, I received an anonymous letter in the mail. Inside the envelope was a photo of me, cut from the newspaper. It was a publicity shot for a play that I was in. Attached was a note: "run, do not walk, to your nearest Weight Watchers". There was no signature. It would be hard to describe how devastated I was by this one comment.  Read more >
