Exercise

If you have read any of my past posts you will know that I normally love exercise.   Exercise has always been my happy pill.  I’ve had so many injuries over the past 3 years that exercise has gone the way of the dodo. Exercise is hard. Exercise is embarrassing–I make too many noises. I…

Fat girl limping

That’s pretty much all I do these days.  It is so hot outside that I have trouble getting out and working out.  So… I wobble around or go at early in the morning. I am so angry–I am fatter than I have ever been.  I live in constant fear of dying.  We lost our insurance…

Everything happens for a reason. …Anonymous

…Written by an Anonymous Guest Author. I found this post profoundly moving. Everything happens for a reason. I think it does. I say this to my patients all day long, especially when they are trying to make sense of their chaos. I just say it because in that moment it makes sense. I mean it…

Spiraling

I am Spiraling, but not out of control.  I am in a whirlwind of amazing things and yet … I sit on my bed puzzling about what to write in my diary.  Do I try and formulate a way to say things in a different way–about my same subject of morbid obesity?  I’ve had numerous…

Hopeful …

Yesterday started slow, but picked up steam.  I felt like going shopping.  So I went!  That may seem like a small thing for me to be celebrating, but that hasn’t happened in over a year.  This Is Huge! We changed/upped my thyroid meds yet again over the past two weeks. I have to go up…

Strange Things …

Do you ever read things and go, wow, I must be really strange?  I do this quite often.  This morning was–Toe Separator Socks–for people who wear tight shoes–I go barefoot as much as possible or sandals!  People keep buildings TOO hot–so I think I am good on the socks gadget.  Am I the only person…
