Who’s a cranky baby?
Me. That’s right. ME. Not Tricia. Not Matt. Not Lenna. Not Bill (although he might be a little cranky). Me, I say. I. Am. !!!CRANKY!!! I know this will come as a shock to y’all since I’m so known for my sunny disposition and eternally cheerful demeanor, but try to get past all that for [...]
Positive thinking weirds me out a little. In a good way.
Okay. So, here’s the gig. I’m starting to scare myself with something that started out as a joke. (Sort of.) I told a friend of mine that a health scare she was having was going to turn out to be nothing. And I said, a little facetiously, “I said so, so it must be true.” [...]
Rip out womb in haste, repent in leisure.
Pssst. C’mere. Yeah, you. I have a secret, but I want it just between us, okay? Don’t tell Bill — he’ll want to fix it, and there’s no fixing this.
Tonight, we were at Lenna’s homecoming game (yeah, yeah, I’ll put up pictures later), and I was sitting with Tricia. This thought crossed my mind, “If [...]
Dark side or reality?
First. I really like OMSH. I think she’s courageous, amazing, beautiful, etc. etc. etc. Also, she’s real. Her blog isn’t an endless series of blissful days spent basking in the perfection of her life. Don’t misunderstand me here. I’ve yet to read a disparaging word from her about her husband or kids, but I’m [...]
Diet, diet, who’s on a diet?
Me and about a kazillion other people. But I’m most interested in my journey. I s’pose it’s also that my journey’s outcome is a wee bit more personal to me. I’m sort of invested here. /dry
One thing I want to discuss a little is hypothyroidism and its effect on weight loss. Oh don’t get me [...]
Live and learn, I guess.
So, a few days ago, I made a decision to get serious about fixing my life. I went for a clean sweep here — my effed up relationships, my weight, my…well, my everything. If it wasn’t working for me, it was time to fix it. I was pumped. I was jazzed. I was ready to [...]
Decisions and fear of consequences.
Have you ever put off doing something because you’re afraid of the consequences? But then, you finally screw up your courage and just do whatever it was you were putting off, and you find out, “Hey. That wasn’t so awful”?
Yesterday, I did just that. I have been dreading and dreading and dreading posting my weight, [...]
Oh, my lovelies, do you love me enough to not hurt me over my weight?
I have dithered and dallied and avoided posting about my weight. Why? Because the idea of sharing an actual number with anyone makes me just a wee bit ill. And by “a wee bit ill”, I mean “breaking out in a sweat, feeling sick to my stomach and having no appetite.” Really, I should keep [...]
More on insomnia.
Oh, Bill, My beloved husband, my wonderful life partner, the one person in this world to whom I can turn for anything and everything…except advice about insomnia. Because you see, darling, dear, love of my life, “Just lay down and go to sleep” isn’t how it works, but I do appreciate that you were trying [...]
Shut up, Universe! I KNOW!
I don’t know WTF is going on with the universe right now, but I’ve had sign after sign after sign about getting serious about losing weight…and other things I want to do.
First, I read this on OMSH’s website. At first, I was kind of pissed off at her for her self-loathing which has extended itself [...]
