FitBit Recall: Fail

FitBit Recall: Fail

Well shit, my FitBit is dead and they’re doing a recall – so I’m getting in on that. They’re doing the recall because of Skin Irritation. They’ve also taken these off of the shelves. That blows. My skin never once bothered me with the FitBit and I have ridiculously sensitive skin, or as I like … Continue reading

Dear Target, please get your shit together

Dear Target, please get your shit together

The fatty girl clothes in our Target are banished to the far back corner. Sure, maybe the maternity clothes outnumber the big girls sizes, which I can only reason as to the fact that Target must think the demand for the 5 months of maternity clothes outweigh the demand for years, if not a lifetime … Continue reading

A Perfect Time To Fall In Love Again

Kevin and I had a GLORIOUS weekend celebrating his cousin’s wedding in Athens, Georgia. We made an event out of it and stayed an extra night to just reconnect and have a mini vacation.

This is part of it

It started yesterday. I want to tell you this is easy. I want to tell you this is easy. I want to tell you this is easy. This has never been, and will never be easy. Weight loss. I want to tell myself the scale is not a reflection of who I am. I want … Continue reading

National Eating Disorder Awareness Week

I believe I’ve mentioned ED to y’all before. ED is the controlling dickhead in my life. He judges me when I pick something less than healthy to eat. He mocks me when I start to feel good about myself. He dictates when and how much I should eat. He’s brutally mean to me and speaks … Continue reading

Gift Giving

My favorite part of Christmas is giving gifts. I love the reaction on people’s faces. I love the amount of time and thought I put into each gift. I rarely give a thoughtless gift and am troubled by it when I do. I come from a family of givers. Both of my parents have always … Continue reading

Progress, Not Perfection

Progress, Not Perfection

On Valentine’s Day my husband bought me the most beautiful roses and wrote me a love letter. It was the perfect gift. In his love letter he wrote about how proud of me he was for how I’ve handled our loss. How he recognizes the bond between mother and child is like none other. How … Continue reading

My brother sent me a link to a really interesting concept. Have y’all heard of this new app, Rise? It’s pretty fascinating to me. Essentially, it’s a nutritionist in your phone. You sign up and tell them what your objectives are and they match you up with a few people they think will be a … Continue reading

You Know How To Take It Off

I went to the Doctor’s today and it was the first time in months I’ve stepped foot on a scale. Within the last two weeks or so I’ve started getting back on track with running and cleaner eating. Within the last week my eating has been clean again. True Story: I contemplated going back to … Continue reading
