Yesterday I finally schlepped myself to the gym. I am not sure where in my brain the misfire happens, but I always forget just how fantastic working out can make one feel. The endorphins! The flexibility! That impossibly lovely redhead who always decides to work the chest press in front of me in the weight [...]

A week ago I stretched out on a medical table, while a woman squeezed cold gel onto my back and then pressed down–hard. The last time I was in such a situation, it was my belly getting the fabulous sticky service and a tiny life was growing within me.

I have come to openly accept that my eating in the past decade has been disordered. I teeter on the precipice of binge eating or complete starvation to assuage emotional and mental issues. Issues I have been dealing with for over twelve years, and still refuse to let go. I need to let go.

The only person who can deny me anything is, you [...]

I haven’t updated because the holidays consume everything. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, my time is allotted to finishing gifts, cleaning the apartment, readying for the next onslaught–and this year was worse due to school. So now the dust has settled and here I am, five steps back. In pounds no less.
