Blowin’ and Throwin’

I’m mad.  I’m mad that I have to be dealing with this eating bullshit again, especially now.  I’m mad that as a highly-intelligent woman, I can’t stop equating my worth to a number on the scale.  I mean, my blood pressure is a steady 120/80, and my cholesterol is low.  My pulse is good, and… Continue Reading

It’s Not Just Food

Ok.  I had my therapist appointment today, and we discovered that I am fucked up when it comes to food.  No, really!  I know, amazing, but true.  I have had ED issues since I was eighteen.  Twenty years.  To recap, I went on a strict diet right before going to college because I decided that… Continue Reading

Welcome Back, Bitchez!

Hello, bitchez.  Have you missed me?  I have missed you–and blogging.   I kind of took blogging for granted before I embarked on my third NaNoWriMo, and I didn’t realize how much I got out of it.  So I am back with a vengeance, though I cannot say better than ever. First, housecleaning details:  200,220… Continue Reading

She’s So Hot

Today, there was a shooting near Pittsburgh.  I was gonna write about the rightwing, antisocial, white male gun nut who shot up an aerobics class full of women before allegedly killing himself and how even liberal guys seemed to sympathize with him to some extent, but I’m still too upset about it to be at… Continue Reading

One Hour

One hour.  That’s all it took before I felt like a big, ugly oaf.   That is when my mom brought out the clothes she had brought from Taiwan for me.  This year, the fashion over there is skinny pants coupled with long, slim shirts.  Now, even in my best of times, that is not… Continue Reading

Weightier

Well, since I’m up when I don’t want to be (like that’s anything new), I thought I’d whip off an entry since I slacked off last night.  Then, I really must clean as we (by we, I mean I) are coming down to crunch time.  The score is tied, and with 5 seconds left, a… Continue Reading

Weight of the World

All right, mateys!  Up next is item number two on my list, losing weight.   You might want to put on your hip waders because it’s gonna get dirty and ugly up in here.  Why?  Because when I talk about weight issues, it ain’t pretty.  This time,  I’m looking at the issue of weight mostly… Continue Reading

I Would Bathe in a Vat of Chocolate

In my imaginary world, I would bathe in a vat of dark, luscious chocolate on a daily basis.  I would luxuriate in the satiny feel of it cascasding down my body.  I would have a small cup next to the vat so I could periodically sip at the warm, creamy concoction. In addition, I would… Continue Reading

How Do You Like Them Veggies?

Ok.  After a bit of updating on the Mudflats situation, I am going to blog about something that’s been bothering me for a while.  There is a tangential tie-in, but not really.  There doesn’t have to be; it’s my blog. AKM wrote a beautiful parable today.  Read it here.  I want to follow-up on my… Continue Reading

I’m Fat

Today, I am not going to talk about politics–much.   I am not going to talk about sex–much.  Instead, I am going to talk about something personal–mostly.  My weight.  I am not going to tell you how much I weigh because I don’t know.  I have issues with the scale and with eating and with… Continue Reading
