I was randomly browsing blogs instead of going to bed last night, like I should have, and I found a post someone made after seeing another blogger do the same thing. It said to open your MyPictures, then go to the sixth folder and post the sixth picture. Hmm. Mine is kind of weird and […]

Posted November 2, 2008 By LifeIsChangeResults . . . and Results
Posted January 12, 2009 By LifeIsChangeI saw my nurse practitioner at my doctor’s office last Monday morning to go over the results of the Holter monitor and echo cardiogram, and she said it is mild MVP, which I already knew was not a big deal as long as it’s mild. I’m supposed to make an appointment to see the cardiologist, […]

The Nastiness of Food Addiction
Posted July 7, 2009 By LifeIsChangeWell, this is about the nastiness of my food addiction. I can’t speak for anyone else’s. So, I was talking to my therapist yesterday about cravings. Not the physical kind of cravings that tend to fade somewhat when one begins to avoid excess sugars, but the emotional cravings that have driven my compulsive overeating for […]
- Thank you, clickmom. I personally see a distinction between physical cravings and food addiction (in the sense that I'm…

The Weight Thing
Posted July 8, 2009 By LifeIsChangeFollowing Kerro’s description of food-issue-related topics (the Food Thing, the Weight Thing, and the Body Image Thing), I thought I’d write an entry about the Weight Thing. I’ll discuss the Body Image Thing at a future date, as that may be the most difficult to write or talk about. My therapist and I talked about […]
- I agree with everyone here - you are very brave. One thing and one moment at a time.…
- Sorry meant to write tough stuff, not though. Kate
- Hi, I think you are doing a great job of looking at though stuff. Giving yourself comfort, when it…
If It Acts Like A Child And Feels Like A Child . . .
Posted July 8, 2009 By LifeIsChangeThe dreams came in like needy children, tugging at my sleeve I said, “I have no way of feeding you, so leave”. Prince of Darkness – Indigo Girls Hmmm. Well. Ater I wrote and then re-read yesterday’s entry about food-addiction-related cravings, I was struck with how obvious it seemed. All the pondering I’ve done about […]
- Yeah, I don't always admit this, but I do have some favorite cartoons (Spongebob and Jimmy Neutron among them).…
- Hi, Coloring is a great idea. Perhaps you could ask your inner child what she would like to…

Leaving On A Jet Plane
Posted February 11, 2010 By LifeIsChangeI’m going to fly, tomorrow night, for the first time since I was a teenager. I’m a little unsure of just what to expect, but I’m very excited anyway, because I’ll be seeing my SS when I get off the plane at the other end. ♥ It’s my first visit to her neck of the […]
- Thank you, Kate and Bird! Yep, we had a great time, and we did build a snow woman.…
- Hooray! I hope by the time I'm typing this that you are both having a fabulous time... building snowpeople…
- I hope your flight went well and that you are able to make a snowman or snowwoman. :) Hope…
My Trip, and A Few Pictures
Posted February 19, 2010 By LifeIsChangeI arrived safely home on Monday from my trip, and I had a great time! The flight up: My flight left Friday night, about a half hour later than originally scheduled, because when the plane came in from the previous flight, they had to circle a few times while waiting for their turn to land. […]
- Thank you, Kate and David. I don't always feel very brave, and I tend to vacillate on being able…
- Amazing. It is so exciting to see you progressing in leaps and bounds like this ... as my therapist…
- I think you are very brave in everything that you did. Good and healing thoughts to you as you decompress…
More About The Body Image Thing
Posted February 27, 2010 By LifeIsChangeWhen I saw my therapist at the beginning of this month, one of the things we talked about was my feeling I had brought up, in an email the week before, that I’m nearing the winding-down point in therapy. The topic came up in session as part of a discussion around my plans for this […]
- Thank you, Kerro. Yeah, I've been putting it off for a long time, so I may as well deal…
- ((Tamp)) I know this Body Image Thing all too well. I wish I had an easy solution, for both of…

Strange Horoscope
Posted March 10, 2010 By LifeIsChangeI don’t read my horoscope very often, especially the ones that show up on just about every home page option list that only take the sun sign into account. I mean, come on, every Gemini out there is not going to have the exact same kind of day. But today, as I was revamping my […]
Going Off Of Yaz / Beyaz
Posted July 19, 2011 By LifeIsChangeI realized it’s been a while, again, since I posted, so I think it’s time for a catch-up. The biggest thing that has been on my radar recently has been going off of Yaz (which is now called Beyaz). Ickiness warning for anyone who finds discussion of women’s health issues off-putting: the rest of this […]
