I had an amazing time getting interviewed by my strong and wonderful friend Lauren for her new coaching and inspirational movement called Moving Bravely!
"So what are your current goals?" A quick selfie before hiking Stone Mt. in GA Everyone who is into fitness asks this question. It is a great question to be sure, I mean if you don't know what your goals are how can you possibly stay motivated and stick to your plan? A lot of people ask me what my goals were/are. I thought I would give a short outline of what I have worked on, achieved, and have planned for the future. Starting out, my biggest goal was to feel better about myself and my self image. That was a physical goal as well as a mental and emotional one. I also wanted to be stronger and just be able to do the things in life I wanted to do (like hiking or biking trails, etc) without feeling drained or out of breath. Starting out I did not set a goal weight for myself- my therapist and I decided that focusing on the scale was not a healthy choice for me. I tend to get obsessed with numbers and with weighing myself- so in the beginning I only weighed in once...
Dear, well, everyone really.... This is my open letter to you all about something which I am of two minds about. I can definitely see both sides and yet can not help my feelings about both sides. I am writing to tell you that your opinions on my body are unhelpful, unnecessary, and above all unwarranted. Simple as that. I don't need or want you to comment on my body or the changes I have made, positive or negative...your comments on my body are unwelcome. Now, some of you seem to be of the mind that there is no such thing as a bad compliment, or that your role as my friend or my family allows you some measure of an opinion on my physical state. Guess what, it doesn't. There are only 3 people in this world who get to tell me things about my body- who get to comment on the state of my plan- who get to tell me I am doing things the right or the wrong way....those are Myself (first and foremost),My Doctor, and My Therapist. If you aren't...
Hi there all. Just wanted to give people a heads up about what has been going on with me. So, I am experiencing a bit of a relapse in my eating disorder symptoms...they have been quiet for awhile and I had discontinued therapy in the hopes that I would be able to regulate any on going problems by myself. However, after weeks of stress and different problems and challenges that have happened in my life I have noticed that my symptoms have gotten worse and worse. My thought patterns, unhealthy habits and relationships with food have led me to the conclusion that I must resume therapy in order to keep myself from a more serious relapse or set back. I know, logically, that progress isn't linear and that I have made so many rallys before when I felt like I was out of control...I just have to do it again, but there are times when I feel angry that I have to put in so much effort where others don't. I find it so unfair that I have to constantly be on my guard about my eating d...
