Exposed Movement Revisited

January 5, 2011

One of my most difficult posts to write in 2010, yet one I’m so proud of myself for doing, was my Exposed post. I really feel like that was a defining moment in my weight loss journey. It forced me to finally peel back many of the layers that I was hiding behind and let [...]

Thankful Thursday

November 4, 2010

Wow, I can’t believe how quickly this week is flying by! Of course, part of that could be due to the fact that I’ve slept through a good portion of it trying to get over the crud. That having been said, I’m feeling much better today and thankful that tomorrow is Friday. Bring on the [...]

November 3, 2010

Well, here we are at the grand finale of the Shrinkvivor challenge. The gang over at The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans put on another amazing challenge. While I didn’t make the Top 7, I did manage to survive until the final cut so I’m pretty pleased with that. I lost a total of 11.4 [...]

November 1, 2010

Some of you may remember that I made the decision during my recent Exposed post to start what I’m calling Project Grateful To Be Me. Every day between now and Thanksgiving, I will be posting at least one thing each day that I like about myself. My hope is that by doing this, it will [...]

Bad Habit Tombstones

October 31, 2010

In honor of Halloween, I’ve decided to lay to a rest a couple of bad habits that have been dragging me down in my quest to live a healthy lifestyle. If you’ve been reading my blog lately, these probably won’t surprise you because they are some things I’ve been working on anyway. Today just seems [...]

F*ck You Cookies!

October 26, 2010

No, don’t worry, I actually haven’t face-planted into a mound of cookies, or a mound of anything else for that matter. Although, I’ve really been battling my old comfort eating demons something fierce the past few days. I’m feeling very out of sorts about something going on and the whole situation is completely out my [...]

Such a Pretty Fat

October 22, 2010

First of all, I extend my apologies to Jen Lancaster (love her books & met her once) for stealing borrowing her book title for this blog post. That having been said, it just fit perfectly and I had to use it. As some of you may know, today is the final day of Fat Talk [...]

Ch..Ch..Ch..Changes

October 17, 2010

Ok, so I’m probably showing my age by referencing a David Bowie song from the early 1970′s. That having been said, it seemed an appropriate title for this post. Did you hear? There are some changes coming from Weight Watchers? I have no idea yet what they will be, but the new changes were teased [...]

Exposed … *Gulp*

October 15, 2010

Last year, without even really knowing it, Mish started an Exposed Movement in the blogosphere. In her initial exposed post last year, she included a photo of herself and decided to celebrate all the wonderful things about her body, as it was right then, rather than focusing on all the negative things she saw. Over [...]
