Not Quite There Yet
Today I read this post about going ahead and enjoying the holidays by Anne at Elastic Waist. You can see my comments (Melissa); I appreciate what she wrote, but I have to admit:
I’m just not quite there yet.
And I don’t know which came first: the chicken or the egg. As in, I don’t know if it’s because I’m not at the weight I want to be at, or because I still look at some foods as “healthy” or “unhealthy” even though rationally I know I shouldn’t.
Food is, after all, food. In small quantities, there’s no harm in it. Yet I still attach stigmas to certain foods, even when I don’t realize I’m doing it. (more…)

Under the Weather
I rarely get sick, but when I do, it’s usually pretty miserable. So as luck would have it, I spent most of this weekend (chock-full of fun, un-cancellable plans) sick.
I did the best I could and rested as much as possible, drinking plenty of liquids. We still went to dinner Friday night with a friend, and to my husband’s company’s holiday party Saturday night (hell, I even put on a cute dress; jammies had otherwise been my ensemble all weekend).
And the best part? Though I had taken Friday as a rest day (when I started feeling really bad) and had pushed myself at the gym Saturday, I listened to my body and didn’t work out on Sunday.
This might not sound like a big deal, but the old, pre-blogging, pre-therapy Melissa would have definitely worked out, even feeling as crappy as I did (no matter what) especially because she knew she’d be going out to lunch and wanted to have extra wiggle room. (more…)
