Secondary Infertility

Secondary Infertility

It’s been one hell of a year, hasn’t it? If you’ve stuck with me, I am grateful beyond words. If you read all of this, I am grateful beyond words. I had a mini melt down with my Stend (I’m Befri and she’s Stend – a combination of best friend) yesterday and told her part … Continue reading

What I didn’t say.

What I didn’t say.

I haven’t had a scale in exactly 6 weeks. My weigh in will be the moment of truth when I see if I can successfully do this without the obsession of my scale. Already, in my head, I’ve been doing the math on what numbers would be acceptable to see. What numbers would upset me. What … Continue reading

It’s a Woman’s Job

It’s a Woman’s Job

We, as women, are each other’s biggest critics. We are constantly competing with other women and finding ways to tear them down. We say the woman eating the salad knows she needs to eat a cheeseburger and the woman eating the cheeseburger knows she needs to eat a salad.  The stay at home mom is … Continue reading

Healthy Bucket List

Healthy Bucket List

I love Authentically Emmie’s Blog and her recent Bucket List post was no exception. It got me really thinking though. Here are hers: 1. Head up in a crowd I walk pretty confidently and typically have my head up. Though, I won’t lie. Some outfits give me more confidence than others. I’m working on always showing that I’m … Continue reading

What is healthy?

What is healthy?

I’ve read that some 95% of people regain their lost weight and many gain even more than what they originally lost. Weight loss has two sides: mental and physical. Most people *think* they have the mental aspect down, but when shit hits the fan there is no telling what happens. Weight loss is probably more … Continue reading

Taking Control Back

Taking Control Back

I’ve never understood how someone can weigh in just once a week. Scales are meant to weigh yourself with multiple times. Multiple times a day. Hi, my name is Danielle and I’m a scale addict. My obsession with the scale has impacted me negatively in the following ways: it dictates my mood for the day. A huge loss … Continue reading

The Space Between Us

The Space Between Us

 I weighed 325lbs and never once thought I was unattractive. In fact, I thought I was hot. Smoking hot. Curvy, thick, and juicy. If you tried to tell me otherwise I would have laughed in your face.  My confidence attracted people. I had boyfriends and heart breaks. People either hated me or loved me, but either way I still always had … Continue reading

Who Is This Bitch?

Who Is This Bitch?

To the woman who watches me in spin and chugs her Haterade, Fuck you. Your “Good Job” and condescending pat on the back as I left spin 15 minutes early is noted. What you don’t know is that I started spinning 30 minutes before the class started since I know I cant stay the full hour. What you … Continue reading

Do What You Love and Love What You Do

Do What You Love and Love What You Do

I like coffee and I really like cream. I like a lot of cream in a good cup of coffee. As I was measuring my almond milk and pouring it into my coffee this morning I thought to myself, “This sucks. I don’t even like this shit.” Almond milk in coffee sucks. It just sucks. The taste sucks. The … Continue reading

WTF are you doing?

WTF are you doing?

A few people have asked me wtf I’m doing recently pertaining to my “diet.” With multiple people asking me, I stopped to actually think about it. You can overlook one or two people asking, but multiple people makes me stop and think…What the fuck am I doing? I’ve gone back to the “dieting” mentality due … Continue reading
