I HATE TO WEIGHT... AND MORE: Thoughts on Childhood Obesity
http://ihatetoweightandmore.blogspot.com/2015/06/childhood-obesity.html
I HATE TO WEIGHT. AND MORE. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Thoughts on Childhood Obesity. In researching this topic, (so close to my former obese child's heart), the first article i found (from 2010) said this," In February of this year, First Lady Michelle Obama presented her ambitious. Let’s Move campaign. To battle the terrifying childhood obesity epidemic. Childhood obesity has tripled in the past 30 years". So, I was terrifying, huh? Still I was huge, often stealing money to run to the candy store, buyin...

I HATE TO WEIGHT... AND MORE: August 2013
http://ihatetoweightandmore.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
I HATE TO WEIGHT. AND MORE. Monday, August 12, 2013. Am i willing to get well? We hear a lot about wanting to recover and wanting is great, but i really believe that 'willing" is key. Recovery isn't easy - am i willing to do whatever it takes (to go to any lengths, as the 12 Steps say) to get well? I wasn't willing to stop binging and purging, no matter that my ulcer begged me, my doctors begged me, my dentist begged me. I wasn't willing to give up the scale or eat breakfast or give up diet soda. I'm wal...

Among the Garbage and the Flowers: Forgive me. I drown every night.
http://nicole-amongthegarbageandtheflowers.blogspot.com/2015/02/forgive-me-i-drown-every-night.html
Among the Garbage and the Flowers. And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers. Leonard Cohen. Saturday, February 7, 2015. Forgive me. I drown every night. Sometimes, you are standing in line at a grocery store. Few seconds and listen to the beep, beep, beep of the cash register and you listen to the low drone of the conveyer belt. You stare at her. You have to listen. Listen to everything breaking. Listen to the wreckage. You have to listen to the water that runs and ru...It rises ...

Among the Garbage and the Flowers. And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers. Leonard Cohen. Saturday, February 28, 2015. All the Beautiful Lights, Shining. If there is light in your heart, you will find your way home. I was seven years old. It was summer. I was stretched out in the grass, watching the clouds. What I will always remember about that day:. How warm the grass felt against my bare feet and my bare legs. The sound of my own slow breathing. How I did not ignore them.

Bag Lady: Marjorie
http://baghabit.blogspot.com/2013/01/marjorie.html
Sunday, 13 January 2013. Marjorie has always been thin. This is important to her. She likes to be in control and her weight is one of those everyday things that she had dominion over. Being boyish and birdlike means she can look down on all the fat people. Sometimes she makes a sympathetic face while they moan about not being able to lose any weight. You have to play along with these fat fools, make them feel like you understand, even though you can’t. Why don’t they just eat less? Aye hen, thin but lone...

I HATE TO WEIGHT. AND MORE. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. No More Food Obsession? Pancakes were always my go to binge food, and they were my very favorite food. Because I thought they were a trigger and wouldn’t be able to eat them normally and moderately, I haven’t had a pancake in many years. I took a bite. It was pleasant, but – it was jus. T a pancake. What a revelation. I’ve had a lot of revelations about food lately, with the most important being that it’s not that interesting! But now……...I’v...

Among the Garbage and the Flowers. And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers. Leonard Cohen. Saturday, February 2, 2013. The dentist and his assistant really are very kind. They talk to me all through the procedure to distract me from the sharp buzz of the drill. Metal scraping against enamel. Fluorescent white light from the overhead bulb seeping in through my closed eyelids. I hear it anyway. The sickening crack. My mouth filling with blood. All over now and the damage is done.

It Was Dark, Stormy and I Lost My Serial Comma: Oh Honey
http://darkstormyloopy.blogspot.com/2015/04/oh-honey.html
It Was Dark, Stormy and I Lost My Serial Comma. Welcome to my brain. Friday, April 3, 2015. 8220;Oh honey.” Have you ever said that before? The universal truth, in my humble opinion, is that having a honey to say “Oh honey” to is a wonderful and lucky thing. Some honeys come and go. Spouses, girlfriends and boyfriends – honey one day and thou who shall not be named the next. If you are lucky enough to have a honey, I hope you appreciate him or her everyday. Fresh cut grass, one cold beer. Thank the Lord ...

Bag Lady: 100 words: Him
http://baghabit.blogspot.com/2013/01/100-words-him.html
Tuesday, 22 January 2013. He’s not here. The car pulls up and that’s the first thing I notice; the absence of him. No lights, no sign of life. Inside it’s as expected; the kettle isn’t boiled and there is no friendly hug to greet me to and no him to tell me of today’s ailments. I miss his complaints and worries. I miss his amazing smile, full of light and joy. The evening has been spent with colleagues, talking work and life and other things and I relish the chance to talk about him, about us. Thesis Exc...

It Was Dark, Stormy and I Lost My Serial Comma. Welcome to my brain. Tuesday, October 7, 2014. To me, Burning Man is about love, art, giving, community, freedom, creativity and a helluva lot of fun! In a very easy to scroll format. And now for some of my personal experience at this year's burn:. This is Black Rock City. The dust tornados are at 12 o'clock. The big round dot (are dots anything but round? Every year there is a theme attached to Burning Man. This year was Caravansary. The Goat served as the...
