Pro ana mia ,ED, SI & Love of Self

admin | May 31, 2005

Sigh.  So I am clicking around blogs today ? I already wrote one blog about this subject today ? and I am feeling like I was run over, emotionally, reading all of these young women?s blogs.  ED ? Eating Disorders ? seem to be almost ?cool? now ? some of the sites are tout themselves [...]

A crying shame…

admin | May 31, 2005

There are “Thinspiration” websites and journals out there.  Something that did not surprise me, but of course made me sad.
I read this woman's comment - at this link and it made me cry because it reminded me of the old Heather and I just wanted to grab her and give her a hug and tell her [...]

Magic Pills & Fairy Dust

admin | May 30, 2005

I had a very interesting and loooong holiday weekend. 
Mostly Will and Robert got a lot done in the yard and the garage.  We get one step closer to having a well put together suburban dream of a lovely home every weekend (our quirky version of a “dream” to be sure)? but there are MANY weekends of [...]

The Silver Cord

admin | May 25, 2005

I was pondering more about the things Robert and I have been through as a couple after my earlier blog.  Thoughts of him have been with me all day, nonstop.
 
As I said, Robert and I have been together since I was 18 and he was 19.  We are 35 and 36 now.  Now really let [...]

Feel the BURN

admin | May 25, 2005

Today was my first real full training session with my trainer.  I am so proud of myself, I did FORTY MINUTES of cardio!!!  It wasn?t all at once.  I did ten on the heart trainer (that thing kicks my ASS) and then immediately went over and did twenty on the treadmill and then I did a bunch [...]

Snake Oil or it's the Snake PIT for ya!

Well, I?ve gone and done it.  The step has been taken and now that I?ve taken a tiny step forward, I might as well continue to take steps.  I am officially medicated.  Yup, ol? crazy Heather, with her ?panic attacks.? 
I had been trying to avoid medication.  I took steps to try to anyway.  I [...]

Jade is home sick today.  I had to cancel my lunch with Brenda.  She was like, ?Yeah, I?ve been there.?  She?s got kids, too.
Jade did very well at her flute last night during the concert.  She was so good that at first I thought the cd was too loud or something.  She has a Harry [...]

Love's Replenishment & Death

admin | May 18, 2005

I included this Anais Nin quote a couple of blogs ago:
 “Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.”
I want to say that I DO [...]

I'm just wondering…

admin | May 18, 2005

When people say they respect your decision, but they don?t have to embrace it, what does that mean?  This has been said to me on more than one occasion since my lifestyle change.
 
If I were a lesbian and in a committed relationship with a woman and some of my friends said to me, ?We respect [...]

The Beautiful People

admin | May 18, 2005

Ok, so I admit, I thought joining a gym would mean I would be constantly reminded of the movie ?Dodgeball? and that there would be ultra-tan hard-bodies who wouldn?t give me the time of day.  The truth is that so far, I?ve only had very positive experiences.
There are a range of sizes and ability levels [...]

Exercise is good for the spirit…

admin | May 17, 2005

I?m back from bellydancing.  I loved it!  Just like I knew I would J
 
I got there early and meandered about the gym a bit.  I didn?t want to do any crunches and junk because my stomach is still pretty sore from yesterday and I?ll be seeing the trainer again tomorrow, but what I did do [...]

"Thunder only happens when it's raining"

admin | May 16, 2005

?And players only love you when their playin? 
Of course that?s a line from a Fleetwood Mac song which I happen to be listening to right now.  The words fit some of what I?m feeling. 
Anyway, I had my workout session today with personal trainer Thomas, who is a very attractive and muscular (but not all bulgy [...]
