Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?

I think we all know what the mirror said, right? Snow White!

That was an answer the wicked witch was not willing to

A little connection goes a long way

Amazing to see how when I did not have a sense of others, I lost touch with this whole process. The Oscar night was OK, not great. I drank more alcohol than I planned (am seeing how anxious I am in social settings) and ate a few things that looked good, that had gluten. Felt fine--I think I am someone who can have it on occasion, but don't do well with it on a regular basis--digestively and with aches in the bod. I watched myself later in the week, when eating out with husband and his biz partne… Continue

The Winter Cold

Well it happened

I GOT SICK

But ya know what? It was awesome.
I am so glad I got sick.

This was the first time, I think in my whole life, that I was sick and I didn't fight it.

My pattern in the past when I have gotten sick is the blame myself, be mad at myself, resist the cold, fight all the symptoms and just o… Continue

moving forward

i've decided to focus on portion control the next few weeks. i definitely have been reaching for seconds at dinner, and sweet treats in the evenings. it's a habit, that sometimes leaves me feeling extremely full and disrupts my sleep:( it's the reason why i feel like in the mornings, i have a food 'hangover.'

yesterday evening was challenging. after a healthy dinner of swiss chard, black lentils, tahini, ammaranth, with a side of roasted veggies, my body instinctively told me "give me M… Continue

Week 2, second round, March 1st

Well, this is going along well for me. Keeping me on track. I have had a little black tea in the chai I made my husband that he didn't have today. Something going on about waste for me and not wanting to "waste it". This feels like an old layover, leftover I mean, from bingeing days. The tea tasted great, but I am quite a bit more sensitive now and I got a little too buzzed. I like the lighter lift of the green tea.
Work is going slowly. Feel very much like not reaching out and this is odd f… Continue

pressure to lose weight. what I needed?

When I tell my friends that I'm going on a major "diet" cuz my ballet teacher called me into her office and said, "You must lose weight for the performance, they don't have costumes in 'big size'" they are aghast. Me, not so surprised. For one...she's right, I have gained enough weight that the jeans I normally wear do not fit me well, and by my standards I'm about 10lbs over my limit. But, you see I'm 5'2 so that shows. Secondly, pressure to be thin comes with ballet, especially in Asia! I can'… Continue

damn hormones again

i noticed those hormones kicking in again around ovulation time. it's pretty spot on in terms of timing. it's usually on a wednesday/thursday, where i have a day feeling crappy. i feel bloated, belly extended, digestion a bit slow, have a very negative body image, emotions are intense, and just uggg! usually the next day, i feel much better and am happy to see that many of the body symptoms have subsided.

this time around, i had a few more of my stomach pains. just mild, but still affec… Continue

63 days!

I feel so free I want to dance around and shout! I want to celebrate! Today makes 63 days without purging, the longest time I have ever gone in the last 8 1/2 years. I am so happy about this I have been having a hard time containing my joy. I just needed to share this. :) Continue

stomach pains:(

damn. i thought my days of stomach pain and intense indeigestion had passed for good. but no.

this used to happen with decent frequency (~ 1/week at least). but hasn't occured nearly as often since i've paid more attention to my eating.

my symptoms: after breakfast, it started w/ a dull pain that came in waves in the lower abdomen, and felt my stomach turning. by 10:30 am, i felt ok. then lunch came. the coworkers took me out for thai (i almost NEVER go out to lunch, but they w… Continue

back again!

after a bit of a hiatus, i've decided tracking my food and emotions is something i need to do for a while. i understand a lot more about the complicated relationship between the two, but have much more to learn. i also have some digestive issues once in a while that i may shed more light on, if i track my food. and finally, tracking does lend to healthier choices!

i had a great birthday weekend, with many indulgences. hot springs, massage, good friends, wine, birthday cake and delicious… Continue

Exhaustion lifted, antsy-ness came in

Well, this is day 21. I made it! I did have dairy occasionally--only raw and seems mostly OK. So, based on this last 3 weeks and some upcoming events, I want to make a new set of commitments. I did not get the massage, mud bath or go dance. Hmmm. Finances are tighter for me right now. I am going to use what I already have--my Y membership to take a dance/movement class at the Y.

Day 17, hoorah!

Loving this focus, and, while still feeling EXHAUSTED at the end of the days, feeling much less buzzed or sedated. Been busy seeing a teacher I like and also in Jungian analysis--realizing that is wonderful and quite consuming psychically. Looking forward to quiet weekend ahead. And, planning to re-commit to another 3 weeks--with a few changes to accommodate a party...
Want to try out the smoothie idea in next round. got to get some foods in the house good for this. finding dairy OK in small… Continue

Another 3 Weeks has Passed!

I just realized it's been another 3 weeks.
This one went by really fast.
Unfortunately my eating meditation fell by the wayside. I was afriad it would, but it's cool. I think I need to dedicate that goal to it's own 3 weeks.. in the interest of baby steps.
And speaking of which..

I did it! 3 whole weeks without fast food! YEAH! I really wanted to yesterday. I was feeling really sorry for myself being by myself on Valentines day and disappointed/angry/frustrated... I'm finall… Continue

Regarding Sugar

I'm at work and their having a department celebration of some sort. Very near where I sit they are serving cake and soda. The smell of the cake is making me nauscous. It smells like thick, sweet sugary syrup.

I've been reading up on how bad sugar is lately and wow.. all that poison. I think it's possible that I'm nearly converted.

I'm Offically a Yo-yo

So, naturally I changed my mind again.

I bought a bunch of fresh veggies to start the green juice feast on Saturday. It's a lot of veggies. I can't let them go to waste.
Plus my emotions.. actually I feel numb, worn out, sore and old. blah.
I took another sick day today, although I'm not as sick as I've been over the past month or so.
It's more like a health day to kick off.. yes, you guessed it, a green juice feast!

I just keep making all these excuses to hea… Continue

getting better

sunday, i went out on a hike. great to get outside for some exercise. watched part of the big game w/ the BF. had 2 beers and some cheap indian food. it was probably more junk than whole food, but i loved it. i had to have my favorite- uttapam w/ sambar.

i've noticed again that my energy and self-image is directly related to how i feel, especially in the morning. if i feel full, fat or bloated, i feel weighted down and frustrated. which just leads me to overeat. yesterday morning, i fel… Continue

Beginning week 2

So far, so good. More tired than I expected--could it be detoxing?. First time in week I had a longing for something stronger. My stomach really doesn't tolerate black tea or coffee well--which helped me stay away from it.
I had my period last week and got pretty exhausted--no yoga, one day steam yesterday. So, my plan this week is 2x steam--and I really do want to do the yoga. Last week was crazy busy too. Step at a time. I am shopping for a bike to commute around on. This is both exciting… Continue
