Reflections on binge eating
Monday, August 23rd 2010
I can trace its earliest manifestations back to a camping trip with my best friend and her grandparents. They stopped at a 7-11 on the way out of town with us pre-teens in the back of the camper. They gave us each $5 and told us to buy whatever candies we wanted. It was a crap-load.I remember eating mine very quickly as the first few days passed. My friend still had most of hers left. As I saw mine quickly depleting, I started taking from her stash before mine was empty.
There was a t...

My husband and I often walk to work (and back) which is a good 50 minute walk each direction.I like it because it gives us time to catch up... and has often been a place for him to talk about his recent research and me to talk about weight loss.

He keeps telling me he wants me to be happy. He'...

I blogged earlier this week about a project I've started for August which I've called "Buy Nothing Month". The concept is fairly simple.... stick to a budget of $150/week which can only be used for food (but not eating out).I'm finding even the first week is quite difficult... or maybe the first week is destined to be difficult as I figure out how to do this thing and solidly set my boundaries?
I officially started Buy Nothing Month on Monday which was Aug 2nd but since I w...
Same dress
Wednesday, August 4th 2010
I've kept very few of my clothes from when I was bigger... but I have a sundress (more like a wrap dress) that I've kept because it technically still fits... although I hadn't worn it out since I've lost weight.I took it with my on my trip to Montreal on the weekend and just yesterday a picture of me in it appeared on Facebook. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it!! How TINY I look in it!!
I mean, I knew when I put it on that there was extra space in it, but I didn't realize jus...
