“When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you ~ Friedrich Nietzsche” As a psychologist, I practice mental health. That means that I rarely get it completely right. I am always learning and changing the way I see my world and the way I treat my patients or clients. A part of…
(Warning: this blog may be too “out there” for some – just my musings) One year ago today, I was finishing up in surgery. It feels as though it was yesterday (without the pain). I still remember so much so clearly. I am so grateful that the doctors found (by accident) the aneurysm and that…
So a year ago I had a list of worries related to my surgery. I was worried about money, leave, and all sorts of other things. They all proved to be much less important than I thought they would be. And in the end, I have actually learned to worry less about all sorts of…
A year ago today, I was attending the first bodybuilding competition for my friend Tammy. She and I have both made many changes in our bodies and lives over the last few years (see her blog at: http://liftingmyspirits.wordpress.com/). I could not have been more proud of my friend and yet, there was a part of me…
Work has kept me too busy to post. However, I found this so powerful that I had to take a moment to post. Please, do yourself a favor and take a look at this. Beauty – do we really see who we are? Dove – Real beauty sketches
I cannot remember whether I have posted before and after pictures here. So, I apologize if you have already seen these. While I have been larger than this (with an all time high of 235), this is a pretty good representation of what I looked like for most of my adult life (except that I…
In my work as a therapist, I cannot tell you how often I have used the movie “Runaway Bride” as an example for my female patients/clients (and some of the males). So many people do not know who they are. They go from relationship to relationship and job to job becoming whomever they need to be in…
154 weeks using the bodybugg (most of the time). That’s about 1080 days! My weight loss journey began on March 8, 2010. That was 1127 days ago (and interestingly, that was also a Monday). I cannot begin to tell you all that I have learned about diet, nutrition, exercise, metabolism, weight lifting/training and so on.…
The short answer is…busy. The longer answer is that I have been spending time renewing my relationship with my boyfriend. I have also been recovering from some awful cough that kept me out of work for a week, out of the gym for two weeks, and off most cardio for three weeks. In addition, I injured…
“Just say no” was a part of an anti-drug campaign in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. However, that is not how I am using this phrase. Instead, I am encouraging you to say no to a broader range of situations and people. How many times have you said yes to someone’s request for you to do…
