Who knew?!
Probably everyone but I only started yesterday. So far I am only tracking All About Eve and Brian Kinney. But the joy that I get checking up on what people are posting about my love? I get giddy!!!!!!!!!!
Any other suggestions?

I am engaged
…sort of.
I finally got the chance to propose to my friend last night. If neither of us is married by 39 we will marry each other. We spent the night planning it out. It actually sounds like kind of a nice life. Plus I totes love him so worst case scenario is actually pretty good.
I had so much fun.
I miss him already.
Now I’m flying back.
I have an audition tomorrow.
I’m...

And the photos are coming I swear!!! I just need a little bit of time to put together a little personal fashion show/photo shoot so maybe this weekend?
caviarmpits asked: Hi. I actually used to have an eating disorder, and I used to be a weight loss blog, but I'm also trying to deal with my fatphobia and body policing and body hatred/shame and have gotten into FA some. So we have that in common, a little, except you don't have an ED.
My mom also participates in a lot of body policing. If I make a comment about my body, she'll also point out...

Went on a shopping spree on this little trip down the to the US. And it wasn’t the worst.
I was in this store and looking at all these pretty clothes and knew that most of them wouldn’t fit me. The part where it gets good?
I wasn’t ashamed that the clothes wouldn’t fit me. It was the store’s fault not mine.
I wasn’t embarrassed to walk around with armfuls of...
Worst Night
I’m in Seattle for a night with my parents on the way to Portland. We went to eat at the most delicious restaurant of all time. (seriously though - Wild Ginger in Seattle. Go there!)
Everything was just the worst and I am so drained. This went right past us. I loved it -wanted to join. The dick at the other table (loudest NYC military jerk even before I heard the shit he was saying) gets...

Anonymous asked: i agree with anon numero uno
try and thinking about are ways of already providing yourself an excuse for not doing something - you know what i mean, oh i didn't run but i only said i'd try, i never said i was going to.
i say this bc i do the same thing and i am going to make an effort to be more definitive in my posts and my workout plans.

I did actually weight myself on Wed but I didn’t post in my hectic rush to get away for reading week (more on these plans later) so I’m posting it today. Yes, it’s a gain, but I’m not actually upset by it because I’ve been doing pretty well in my life so no condolence notes, thanks!
Anonymous asked: I notice that you use the word "try" often and the phrase "I am going to..." a lot.
I'd like to challenge you to replace those two things with "I will" or "I'm doing" for the next 24 hours. Not just on paper but in your head.
You might just surprise yourself with how much you'll actually *do* instead of think...

Tumblr Tuesday
itskristene!
Wayyyyy way back last week she wrote me the nicest note about my struggles with weight-loss vs. FA. It included this gem (emphasis mine):
I believe that FA is an important concept for changing our viewpoints about the way we view other people’s bodies. I’m choosing to change, but I would never say, “OMG THAT PERSON IS SO FAT AND UNHEALTHY,” because I ...
And also....
I have two and only two male friends. From camp. They were actually childhood best friends with each other. I have no other guys in my life so on this Valentine’s Day I will address them:
WTF?!?!?!?
- WTF one best friend (who is also the worst friend who I gave up on 12 months ago because I can’t even tell you how destructive that shit was) actually contacting me today in that gross...
Honesty Time
Eating has been shitty. I regret lots of it… but not all. I’m going to start trying again.
Running has also been shitty. I feel like I should go tonight but I just can’t bring myself to do it. Instead I’m compromising: swimming. It’s kinda exercise… even if the laps are short and curved…
More thoughts....
I’ve got a lot of shit going on in my life right now. Not shit as in horrible, messed-up crap but shit as in regular stuff that is just keeping me mildly busy and disproportionately stressed.
So you haven’t seen many posts from me because I haven’t had energy to focus on ‘health’ much less time to focus on blogging about that shit. I have been having background...

Just yer mum… taking a break before one more paper tonight. And thinking about you and hoping that you are doing okay. There’s a constellation of pressures at this time of year at this time of your life (they don’t call it “commencement” in the States for nothing) and I just want to say that I hope you are being your own magnificent self. I’ve been...

why i’m fat positive.
innerfatgirl:
I’m a lot of things: I’m queer, white, upper middle class, an organizer, a nerd, a clothes horse…
I’m also fat.
That’s an easy thing for me to say, and it’s a hard thing for many people to hear. And it impacts me more immediately, frequently and overtly than a lot of my identities.
When I tell people I’m fat, the most common reaction is panic: they assume I’m calling myself...
Shame
is pretty much my default setting these days.
I feel shame for not losing weight fast enough. Shame for not counting calories. Shame for ordering too much or unhealthy things when I go out with others so as not to stand out. Shame for not posting the affirming things I know my fitblr followers want to read.
I feel shame for not loving my body enough. Shame for wanting to change the way I look....
I am doing a documentary on my fat for a class
and if I hear ONE MORE PERSON tell me how BRAVE I am……. I’m going to be really really even more frustrated.

WOOHOOO! So. Close. to the 220sssss. I know that if I had gone to the gym last night I would have made it but there was just no way. As it is I only got half of what I needed to for today done. Oh well, life keeps going. I’ll see 22_ this week.

I’m kind of floating around the same weight. That’s fine by me for now. Sorry if that’s not what you want to hear. I know a lot of fitblrs follow people for weight loss inspiration and I got really wrapped up in that for a while but I’m coming down off of...

All I want to do is stay in bed and read all day.
I’ve re-discovered my childhood love of reading. I have about four on the go now and I want to start more, but I plan on finishing a few first. I just can’t get enough. I love how in love I am with books again, but I hate how my heart breaks every time real life pulls me away!
