My best friend read my This Is Part Of It post and told me it made her feel weird. Weird? Seriously. WTF? That was poetic and emotional and raw. Whatever. It didn’t settle well with me. Clearly. So, I pushed her and asked her why it made her feel weird. She didn’t want to get into it, but … Continue reading

30 DOR Results!
Well, my 30 days has come and gone. I ended up with 16/30 days. Basically half. Initially, I was mildly disappointed. Especially after having my goal to be 30/30. After a short lived disappointment, I stopped and realized that it also averaged out to be every other day – and that sounds a hell of a … Continue reading
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
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

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
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
Rise – Big Brother All Up In Your Diet
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
